Ivan Zamorano said Lionel Messi - Argentina's captain and all-time leading goalscorer - must be appreciated on the international stage.
Ivan Zamorano said Lionel Messi would have monuments all over the county if he were Chilean as the former international suggested the Argentina star is undervalued in his homeland.
Despite being regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Messi still comes in for criticism from his homeland as he is yet to replicate his club success with the national team.
While Messi has won 28 trophies for the Catalan giants, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been unable to lead Argentina to silverware even after reaching consecutive Copa America deciders and the 2014 World Cup final.
