You can have more Ballons d'Or than family members and not be convinced that you are the best player in history (or at least pretend).

Lionel Messi says he does not "give so much importance" to the

GOAT

race

(best of all time).

“I never said, thought, or even tried to come to terms with this idea.

For me, just being able to be considered or cited as one of the best players in the world is more than enough, said the Argentine in an interview with

France Football.

[…] I don't know how to say it so that it doesn't get misinterpreted… It's not that I'm not interested in it, but, let's say, that I don't give that much importance to it. It doesn't change anything for me to be the best or not. And I never tried to be either ”.

The Argentinian also returned to the gesture of attention towards him upon his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the summer.

The Brazilian had made his number 10 available to Messi, who ultimately refused.

This does not prevent him from having appreciated the gesture.

“The 10th, it was him.

I was new to the club, I came to help.

It was an extraordinary gesture on his part.

I expected it, because I know Ney.

We spent time at Barça and we are friends.

It seemed fairer to me that he kept number 10. That's why I took another one that I liked.

We got used to it, but number 30, anyway, Leo…
