Barcelona star Lionel Messi has paid tribute to injured Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

Messi says the 27-year-old keeper's display for Celtic against his Barca back in November 2012 was the best goalkeeping performance he'd ever seen.

"When Victor Valdes said he was leaving we even talked about him playing here. I was sure he would end up at Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United," he said.

"There was one game in Scotland where he was not human, it is the best goalkeeping performance I have seen."
