Here are some of the famous quotes on Messi:-
"When you play against such a player (Messi), then you always want his shirt"-Michal Kadlec
"I have seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentine football and his name is Messi. Messi is a genius and he can become an even better player.His potential is limitless and I think he’s got everything it takes to become Argentina’s greatest player "-Diego Maradona
"He’s a unique player and he deserves it, because he can do things of almost imperceptible excellence and is a gem to watch "-Frank Rijkaard
"It is clear that Messi is on a level above all others. Those who do not see that are blind"-Xavi
"He’s like a PlayStation"-Arsene Wenger
"I believe that I played well against Barcelona, the problem was that Lionel Messi was simply unstoppable"-Johnny Heitinga
"It is as if someone commands him from the stands, like a video game. I have never seen a human run with the ball at that speed. I have not seen Maradona so I cannot compare, but Messi is simply unbeatable"-Mikel Arteta
"The best? Messi”-Marcello Lippi
“He is a spectacular player, there is nobody else like him. I should not because I have suffered so much in training. I think he is the best forward at the moment and I think he will be so for many more years. He has his feet on the ground.”-Carles Puyol
"I knew when we gave Kaka the FIFA World Player of the Year award that he (messi) would become the best player in the world. With young people like him we need patience and that is the problem we have in Brazil."-Pele
“Ronaldinho is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but neither are as good as Leo Messi.”-Antonio Cassano
“The best way to stop Messi is when you play with 11 men and then you can double mark him, one player to stay on him and the other to help out. If it is 11 against 10 then you have almost no chance of stopping him.”-Jose Mourinho
"His speed is astonishing. It’s amazing how he can go 1 to 100 in just one second. I’m constantly around great players like Cristiano and Rooney, But this guy is just a step up above every other great footballer out there at the moment, Not only is he quick, determined, and extremely intelligent on the ball, but his movement off the ball is just as fantastic – unbelievable to sum it up in a word.”-Carlos Tevez
“Without Messi there isn’t a team for Argentina, Messi is brilliant, different, with a strong mentality. Let’s hope he doesn’t change.”-Julio Grondona
“He is priceless. Right now, in Messi, Barcelona has the best soccer player on planet Earth.”-Txiki Begiristain
