Hidalgo: Nobody at Barcelona expected Messi to be the best ever

Former Barcelona player Christian Hidalgo said no one at the club expected Lionel Messi to become one of the best players in history, Goal reported

"Leo was an incredible talent. Everyone in the club knew that he would one day be a very good player," he told Goal and Spox.

"But the best ever? No. Nobody could have foreseen that. Leo's accomplishments are unique.

"He was very shy, very introverted. He actually only spoke when it was necessary.

"As he played more and started scoring goals, he thawed a little and joked around more."

Christian Hidalgo played at Barcelona from 2002 to 2006.
