Pele believes Lionel Messi is more comfortable playing with Barcelona than for Argentina.

Pele insists Messi isn't totally to blame for his inconsistent international form.

Speaking to FIFA.com, Pelé said: "When he's in Spain, with Barcelona, with a team he already knows and knows well, he's a player. But Messi when he's with the Argentinian team is not the same thing.

"It's a different way of playing -- the Argentinian team is not organised the same way. The same thing happens with Neymar and Brazil."
