Former Boca Juniors goalkeeper Hugo Gatti believes international compatriot Lionel Messi needs to move from Barcelona to arch-rivals Real Madrid in order to prove he is the best player in history.
Gatti suggests that Messi – whose entire senior career has been spent with Barcelona – will not be able to compete with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona and Pele without proving himself at another club.
The retired shot-stopper also referenced Messi’s lack of success on the international stage as a factor against him, with the forward and Argentina falling at the final hurdle at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
