Recently, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold spoke about the topic of the greatest player of all time.
Arnold told the Mirror: “Messi is the best player in the sport. I haven’t seen Maradona play, but to imagine someone better than what I have seen is just hard for my brain to process. There’s no one else who can do what he can.”
“Playing against him, the feeling I get is different from anyone else. When the ball is near him you are on high alert. I think there are very few players that can give other players that feeling, so for that reason, I have to say he is the greatest. For me, in so many aspects of the game, he’s probably the best there ever was; he can do almost anything he wants on a pitch, so he’s the best.”
In the past three years, Messi has slowly pulled away from his closest competitor Cristiano Ronaldo in the GOAT debate, as he has won two Copa America titles and, most importantly, the World Cup during this time.
