The former Chelsea and Argentina striker thinks that his compatriot has nothing to prove this summer in Russia
Hernan Crespo says Lionel Messi is already a legend and that he shares the status of Johan Cruyff and Alberto Di Stefano, who were regarded as the best in the world but never lifted the World Cup.
Argentina have had a turbulent qualification campaign and needed Messi's goals on the final day to get into the upcoming 2018 World Cup in Russia. He scored a hat-trick against Ecuador in the final game to send the two- time World champions to another major tournament.
