Messi Is The Greatest Footballer Ever – Dembele

PSG forward Ousmane Dembele has come out to compare Lionel Messi to NBA legend Michael Jordan. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he grew up watching FC Barcelona, and getting inspired by watching Lionel Messi is the reason he considers him the greatest footballer ever.

Dembele added that the Argentine is simply a unique player, and he is so proud to have had the opportunity to play with him.

His words, “I didn’t know Michael Jordan, but I saw The Last Dance, and it’s incredible. To think that before there were no social networks and yet he managed to transcend generations. What he did with the Bulls is fantastic.

And I grew up watching FC Barcelona so, naturally, Leo Messi. For me, he’s the greatest. He’s a player who inspires me, he’s unique! I’m very happy and proud to have played with him.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
