In the week that the Ballon d’Or award for the world’s best player was handed out, David Villa has delivered his verdict on the world’s best player.
Cristiano Ronaldo took home the 2016 prize after playing a vital role in Portugal’s Euro 2016 success but one man stands above all others, according to the MLS MVP.
Lionel Messi was David’s teammate for three glorious seasons at the Camp Nou and so El Guaje knows what he’s talking about when he remarks: “Messi, he's the best. The reason is simple. Because he is the best.”
David was speaking at a fan event in Korea where he’s promoting the latest branch of his DV7 Soccer Academies.
