The winger says that failing to win a World Cup should not impact on whether or not his Argentina team-mate is seen as the best player ever
Lionel Messi is "the greatest player ever" and should be considered that even if he never wins a World Cup, according to the Barcelona star's Argentina team-mate Angel Di Maria.
Messi broke Gerd Muller's long-standing record for the most league goals scored for the same club in Europe's top five divisions on Sunday, netting a free-kick in the 4-2 win over Real Sociedad.
That took him on to 366 goals, a figure which remarkably took just 400 matches to reach in what has been an astonishing career to date.
