La Liga president Javier Tebas was asked about naming a La Liga trophy after Barcelona star Lionel Messi. The La Liga chief seemed open to the idea and further complimented Messi’s place in history.

“I like that idea, we would have to think about,” he said.

”I think Messi will be the best in football history, he already is.

”Some people talk about Neymar but he is already 26 years old and as far as I remember Messi started to play for Barcelona as a youngster and he surprises us every year he seems not to have limits and he plays at a maximum level.
