Spain’s new coach Luis Enrique has labeled Barcelona forward Lionel Messi as the best player in the world.
Messi, who has 5 Golden Ballon D’or Awards to his name, was recently snubbed for the UEFA Player Of The Year Award, which Luka Modric won.
The 31-year-old has also been left off the shortlist for The Best FIFA Men’s Player. The battle is now between Luka Modric, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah.
Luis Enrique who once coached him at Barcelona however feels the Argentine is the best player on the planet.
“If I talk about Croatia [players], I would talk about Modric and [Ivan] Rakitic,” Enrique said.
“They both deserve individual prizes.
“But if I have to talk about the best in the world, the prize of the best player would be given to Leo Messi, who is one step above the rest.”
