Jose Mourinho doesn't believe that Messi is the greatest player of all time, he just sees him as fantastic player. In his statement to Euro-sport he said: "I think he is a fantastic player, he doesn't need to win the World Cup to be considered a fantastic player. He doesn't need to win the World Cup to be considered a historical player, in this decade. But for me, he is not the greatest of all time."
The Chelsea boss picked out Germany's midfield as an obvious strength, but said Argentina can compete, especially with an "outstanding" Javier Mascherano.

If Messi should mistakingly enter chelsea today, this same Mourinho with 6mouth would tell us Messi is the greatest.

Messi might not be the greatest of all time, but he is without any shadow of doubt the best player of this generation

He is correct. Messi is an amazing player that has done wonders in the Barcelona colors but when you think of players like Bakenbaur, Platini, Maradona etc. that have single handedly carried both club and country to legendary performances and win championships over and over, I think Messi still has a long way...winning the world cup with Argentina will be a great start though

I'm sorry but you don't know what you are saying at all..

I hate mourinho because he talks 2much

Mourinho has sniffed cocaine again. Bad belle

Sayin messi is not the best without telling us who the best is makes his opinion irrelevant.

Messi is the best of dis generation

So.. Let me get u straight. Bakenbaur played goalkeeper, platini played defence, maradona played midfield. Wait o.. Where's the attack? Enough of this single handedly already, a team is made up of 11 players, no player can single handedly win a tournament. Maradona was fantastic in his era and he carried Argentina no doubt, but without his team mates he wouldn't be able to do it.

Plus football has changed from the time when a player will dribble his way from his own half and score. Now its all about team work. Even Messi doesn't dribble anymore, Ronaldo doesn't dribble anymore. The most important thing is to give a good pass, create space with ur runs, open play for ur team mates, and then shoot precisely when opportunity arises.

He is correct , messi only performed against weak teams in d WC , Iran bosnia and Nigeria . His game against d Dutch was crap , he has Neva even scored in a WC knock out in his career. Maradona was a god when he won d WC. Pele played 4 WC and won 3 , d only he dint win was because of d injury he picked up in his 1st game and was ruled out. Berkembua ( wrong spelling tho) carried a disorientated German team as of that time to win it .

The problem is that this generation only judge wit d football they c nw . Go check out history and c hw difficult it was to win d WC then . The new rules now have made it easier for this generation strikers and attackers

Football has changed over the years. It is no longer by individual talents of the olden days. These days teamwork is more important and that is what Messi has in abundant. These days defenders are smarter and it is not easy to dribble ur way from ur own half and score . if u are still judging by the football they played in the olden days then no player will ever surpass the likes of Pele or maradona .. Ever.

So Wat has ur Ronaldo did

Mou is right here. No doubting the fact that Messi's place among the greatest to play the game is assured. But the greatest of all time (GOAT)? I don't think so. We compare players of particular generations. Messi has allowed C Ronaldo to almost wipe the talent gap between them. He has gone missing lately in some key matches. Forget the over-adulation, he appears to be waning in both skill set and impact. He therefore needs to raise his bar in performance levels.

yoji: Sayin messi is not the best without telling us who the best is makes his opinion irrelevant.

They were not defending like this that time o!

Ronaldinho Gaucho greatest of all time
