Sevilla striker Stevan Jovetic has declared Barcelona star Leo Messi as the best in the world.

In an interview with LaLiga Santander, the forward has spoken about a range of issues. Among those issues, he was asked if he preferred Messi or Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Jovetic was clear: "Messi is the best, no-one can better him. When you see him, he makes everything look easy. He is the best of all time."

He also took time to praise Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli, highlighting his bravery for being "attacking when the majority of managers thing about defending."
