Speaking about Lionel Messi in an interview with Guillem Balague, Kluivert was asked if Messi is the best footballer in the world, the former Netherlands international said, via JohnnyBet, “Yeah, that’s what I think. Of course, from the time that I was playing. But, there is [Diego] Maradona, Pele, [Johan] Cruyff… you name them.
“But if you see, and with all respect to all the other legends, what Messi achieves and has achieved – seven Golden Balls, I don’t know how many Champions League trophies, World Cup, Copa América. “He has won all the cups that a football player can win in his lifetime and also the personal prizes, seven times, or even other prizes as well. To be very honest, I consider him as one of the greatest, if not the greatest player ever.”
