Athletic Bilbao midfielder Herrera: Messi just a great teammate

Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera says Leo Messi was great inside the PSG locker room.

Both players are now leaving Paris.

Herrera told TyC Sports: "As a team-mate he exceeded my expectations.

"I admired him a lot as a footballer, and then as a team-mate and as a person I admire him even more. He never had a bad gesture toward anyone. I had the opportunity to have a relationship with him, to have dinner with Fide (Di María) and Leo Paredes and the families.

"He gives you the feeling that they are normal, normal people, and he is the best in history."
