Lionel Messi, in an interview, revealed five players who, apart from himself, are the best in the world.
"There are so many great football players... I would say that Neymar, Mbappe, Suarez, Hazard and Aguero are among the best in the world," Messi replied.
The Argentine did not include Cristiano Ronaldo in this top five by chance - he considers him to be on the same level as himself.
"I did not include Cristiano because he is at the same level as me. Despite the pain of seeing him win trophies with Real, it was really fun to play against him.
"I wish he had stayed in Spain. However, I have great respect for the Juventus club, which seems to have a strong lineup, especially after Cristiano's arrival," Messi praised his biggest rival.
This season, Messi has scored 39 goals in 37 matches, while C. Ronaldo has scored 24 goals in 36 matches.
