Gary Lineker has heaped admiration on Lionel Messi following his performance against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Messi ran the show as Luis Enrique's Barca beat City 1-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition and his performance attracted lavish praise from ex-Blaugrana man Lineker who suggests the Argentine makes teammate Luis Suarez and City striker Sergio Aguero look average.
Messi is indisputably the greatest player ever to don a pair of football boots. Don't even attempt to argue the point.

A measure of Messi's greatness is that he makes world class players like Aguero and Suarez look distinctly ordinary by comparison.
