The Milan legend believes the Catalans' No.10 is
destined toleave a better legacy than Diego
Maradona and lauded the treble-winners' talent
Italian legend Paolo Maldini has predicted that
Lionel Messi and his current Barcelona comrades
are destined to “break all the records”.
In Luis Enrique's first season in charge at Camp
Nou, the Catalans won La Liga, the Copa del Rey
and the Champions League to complete the second
treble in the club's history.
Having matched the achievements of Pep
Guardiola's 2009 side, Maldini thinks Messi,
Neymar and Luis Suarez can help Barca leave an
even greater mark in the history books in the
coming campaigns.
"Messi, Neymar and Suarez are phenomenal and
the statistics speak for themselves," the iconic
former defender told Sky Sport .
"Barcelona have already made history and the
team's destined to break all the records."
Maldini, who won five European Cups and
Champions League titles during his illustrious AC
Milan career, also thinks that Messi could
ultimately be considered better than former Serie A
and international adversary Diego Maradona.
"Leo Messi is the best player in the world," he
added. "From what I'm seeing, he's approaching
the point where he is perhaps overtaking Maradona
in terms of everything he's achieved in recent
years."
