Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria has played with some of the greatest players of his generation throughout a storied career that included spells at Real Madrid and Manchester United, but the Argentine feels that his country's captain, Lionel Messi, is the best of the bunch.
Di Maria called the Santiago Bernabeu home for four years between 2010 and 2014, lining up alongside Cristiano Ronaldo as Madrid won the Champions League, La Liga and two Copa del Rey titles during his time in the Spanish capital.
An ill-fated spell at Man Utd followed, but while silverware may have eluded the Rosario native throughout his time in the Premier League, he did have the pleasure of sharing a pitch with England's all-time record goalscorer, Wayne Rooney, a man he holds in high regard.
