Messi the best now, not in history

Carlos Bilardo – who coached Argentina when Diego Maradona led them to World Cup glory – does not see Lionel Messi as one of the best ever.

The prolific attacker won his fifth Ballon d’Or this week – two more than anyone else – and is widely regarded as one of the most talented stars the game has ever seen.

Bilardo is not sure Messi should be lauded so highly, but does consider the 28-year-old one of world’s greatest active players.
