Felipe Luis, who has played for Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and other teams, recently talked about Messi in an interview with Mikel.

Mikel: I left the last question and the most exciting question until the end. Messi or Ronaldo?

Felipe Luis: You know, for me, Messi is the best player and the player I admire most. I watch every Barcelona game. I enjoy watching the way he plays because imagine, every game, some coach, some team has to find a way to stop him.

For example, Chelsea had to send Obi Mikel (Mikel laughed at this time), and...

Mikel added: There are also Lampard, Essien

Felipe Luis: three or four players, as well as Ashley Cole, Terry, everyone surrounded him to defend, trying to block him (Mikel made a tackle). But he still performed well and still scored goals and assists.

Mikel: Every time you played against him at Atletico Madrid, you, Koke and everyone were trying to tackle him.

Felipe Luis: Someone even got a red card. But he (Messi) never complains, which is amazing. For me, among the players I've witnessed. After all, I have never seen Pele play, and Maradona has only seen clips, but that was before I grew up when I was a kid.

But Messi, I have never felt such a shock. When I was playing for Deportivo La Coruña and Atletico Madrid, I watched every Barcelona game.

For example, if Barcelona plays at 8 o'clock on Saturday night, I won't go to dinner. I have to watch the game first - because Messi is going to play. You know every time I go up against him, I always think I have to stop this guy. But how to prevent it? I studied his style of play over and over. He's the most challenging opponent I've had in my career, he's number one. I'm one of his biggest fans and I think his style of play brings happiness to a lot of people.

Of course, there is Cristiano Ronaldo, right? Of course there is Cristiano Ronaldo. But I like smart dribbling, like Messi
