Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has revealed his pick for greatest footballer of all time.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has lavished praise on Lionel Messi, calling him the greatest footballer of all time.

Flick's comments came in response to Messi's glowing assessment of the current Barcelona team and their excellent performances this season.

The Blaugrana are top of LaLiga and well-placed in the UEFA Champions League.

Messi had recently described the team as "spectacular" and expressed his pride in seeing how they represent the club.

Flick calls Lionel Messi the GOAT

Messi now has 58 assists for Argentina.

Flick welcomed Messi's kind words, saying, "It's an honor that Leo Messi, the greatest player of all time, says good things about Barça."

Flick also appreciated Messi's continued interest in the team, despite his departure from Camp Nou a few years ago.

"We love that he follows the team. It means a lot to us that he holds ​​the youngsters in the squad in such high regard," Flick said.

Meanwhile, Flick's men failed to make the most of a 2-goal lead against Celta, as they gave away two quick goals to take just one point from the game.

That result means Real Madrid can cut the gap to just one point if they win their outstanding games.
