FIFA President Gianni Infantino has said Argentina ace Lionel Messi must win a World Cup if he is to be considered the greatest player of all time.
Argentina face Ecuador in their last 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday but are far from guaranteed a spot in Russia next year, and Infantino told Argentinian newspaper La Nacion (h/t Football Espana):
“Messi is extraordinary, but he is yet to win a World Cup. There are lots of amazing players who never won the World Cup and that is what made Diego (Maradona) so special in football—winning major titles for both club and country.
