Andres Iniesta: Lionel Messi is No. 1 because he has everything

Andres Iniesta has been talking about his old friend Lionel Messi and just why he’s head and shoulders above every other player on the planet.

The midfielder was asked about the constant comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo and explained why he thinks Messi is far superior to the Juventus star.

“Leo is different, unattainable. Everyone has their preferences and we like to make comparisons, but for me they are not comparable. Even if they score almost the same number of goals,” he said.

”For me Messi is number 1, because he has everything. Passing, assists, dribbling, goals, team spirit.
