Lionel Messi, according to Andres Iniesta, is the best with or without the World Cup and was a deserving winner in Qatar..
He gave an interview about his former club Barcelona and the progress they’ve made under former teammate and current manager Xavi Hernandes.
He also lauded Lionel Messi’s World Cup performance, which the Argentine won, adding to his already impressive trophy collection. According to Marca (via Daily Mail):
“Not only was it a well-deserved title for Leo, but for Argentina as a whole; they started the tournament with a loss and had to deal with a lot of pressure..
He also stated that winning the World Cup is not required for him to be considered the best in the world. He also mocked those who believe Lionel Messi is not the best player in the world, claiming that those critics will “continue to find excuses” even after the Qatar victory. He stated:
“For me, it was not necessary for Messi to win the World Cup to admit that he is the best, with or without the World Cup he is the best. I believe the person who was not aware of his advantage would continue to make excuses even after Leo won the World Cup..
By the way he has competed. He started losing the first game, and he dealt with the added pressure. He is the deserving champion in my opinion.’
Messi and Iniesta were members of one of Barcelona’s greatest teams in club history.
They have over a thousand appearances and 32 trophies between them for Barcelona and were always expected to finish their careers at the Nou Camp.
However, Iniesta left first to join Vissel Kobe in Japan, while Messi joined PSG in 2018.
