'Messi above all others by a huge margin' - Jordi Alba says Barcelona star is 'better than before'

A Camp Nou colleague of the mercurial Argentine believes the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is improving with age and showing no sign of slowing down

Lionel Messi sits “above all other footballers by a huge margin”, according to Barcelona team-mate Jordi Alba, with the Argentine superstar “even better than before”.

Seeking continuous improvement is no easy feat for a man who has sat at the top of the global game for well over a decade.

With countless records having tumbled around him, a man who has reached 600 career goals for Barcelona has little left to achieve.
