Xavi: For me Messi is the strongest in the world

Barcelona legend Xavi believes that the Argentine forward Lionel Messi is stronger than the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Leo is the strongest player I played with, the only one who can make the difference by himself and at any time,” express.co reported quoting Xavi.

Asked if that even means over Ronaldo, he said: "Yes, no doubt. For me Messi is the strongest in the world. Indeed, the strongest in history.”

As reported earlier, Messi was injured during the clash against Sevilla, and was substituted on the 26th minute. Messi will miss three weeks because of the injury.
