Newcastle United star, Kieran Trippier has revealed how it was challenging to play against the 37-year-old Argentina international.
The defender for Newcastle United claimed that Lionel Messi was his most challenging foe.
Many thought that Messi's victory with Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final ended all arguments and cemented his status as the greatest player of all time.
"The best player that I played against is Messi, of course," he explained on the latest episode of Simply The Best: "He's a magician on the pitch, you just can't get the ball off him."
Trippier, a World Cup semifinalist and runner-up at the European Championship, was questioned about Messi based on his experience playing against the Paris Saint-Germain great.
A number of challenging questions were posed to Trippier, including which Newcastle United player he thought was the funniest. His response: Callum Wilson.
"The best joker [I've met] is Callum Wilson," he answered about his Newcastle team-mate, adding: "You know, obviously when you walk in, in training in the mornings, you just want to be nice and quiet. But he's coming in full of Red Bull every single morning.
"He's always laughing and joking, playing pranks. Certainly with me. He's always joking around with me, you know, with my clothes and stuff. So but yeah, he's one who keeps his spirit in the team."
