The Argentine forward is held in the highest regard by those around him at Camp Nou, with his unworldly talent marking him out as "the greatest"
Lionel Messi’s unworldly talent continues to amaze Gerard Pique, with a Barcelona team-mate branding the Argentine star “an alien”, “an assassin” and “the greatest”.
Since he first arrived at the famed La Masia academy as a 13-year-old, a remarkable skill set has left a lasting impression on all of those fortunate enough to have seen the mercurial talent in action.
Pique was among those to emerge through the ranks alongside Messi and has long since given up trying to explain how a unique performer continues to raise the bar year after year.
