Marcos Senna rates Villarreal teammate Santi Cazorla as among the best players in the world.

The midfielder said: "Today, Lionel Messi (Barcelona) is a step above everyone else because Kaka has been injured and has lost some pace.

"But the player I love is Santi Cazorla. I'm with him every day, I see how he trains and he is a real phenomenon.

"You cannot say he's the best because he's playing for Villarreal, but if he were with Real Madrid or Barcelona it would be different."
