Argentina attacker Giuliano Simeone has declared his national teammate Lionel Messi the greatest footballer to ever play the game. Simeone shared this sentiment following Argentina’s 3-1 victory over Jordan during Saturday’s World Cup action, a match where Messi provided a goal via a free-kick after entering as a substitute.
Speaking to the official FIFA website, the Atletico Madrid representative emphasized that the 39-year-old Inter Miami star consistently demonstrates his elite status. Simeone noted that Messi possesses a unique quality that sets him apart from everyone else. He highlighted that witnessing Messi’s daily training habits and personal discipline firsthand makes his performances even more remarkable.
Looking ahead, Argentina prepares for their upcoming Round of 32 fixture against Cape Verde, which is scheduled for Friday.
