Vicente del Bosque expressed his belief that Lionel Messi should be considered as the finest football player worldwide ahead of Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former Spain coach believes that Messi's main virtue that makes him stand out from the rest is that he is still playing this kind of creative street football that fans adore to watch.
"Messi [is the best worldwide] and I'm going to tell you why," Del Bosque told Canal Sur.
"I'm not [saying it] to discredit Cristiano. [Messi] is a kid from the street, from the neighbourhood.
"One of those who we played with and he made fun of you on the pitch. That's why he's the best player of the world."
Messi is Argentina's captain and leader in the ongoing edition of the Copa America, while Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace in Portugal's opener against Hungary for the 2020 European Championship.

I will always say this repeatedly, Cr7 fans should be very grateful to God for the fact Messi hasn't won anything with Argentina that's why the debate between them still circulate in people's mouth. Those who say Messi can not perform out of Barcelona should tell me any competition which Messi has participated in from childhood be it Copa America, World cup, Olympic and club football, they should just tell me that that tournament which Messi hasn't been best player in competition. On the other way round Cr7 has only been best in club football not international and if not for club football, he won't have any best player award in his cabinet something Messi has won in every competition be it international or club level, and above winning awards what Messi does on the pitch is a prove that they is no player better than him the only attacking play maker to have scored 700+ goals with over 300+ assist.

If I am asked to choose the best striker who have scored more goals outside 18 area, I would choose Messi. I dont care what others view him to be honest he doesnt need a computer to place and say he is the best. Ronaldo has played in England but has less goals against the big six of England, same applies to Europe. Ronaldo has played many games than Messi yet the only difference in goals scored is less than 30.
