According to Puyol: Messi is the same as Jordan, both are the greatest – Carles Puyol has no doubts about marking Lionel Messi as the best football player. The former Barcelona captain also compared La Pulga to NBA legend, Michael Jordan.

Puyol is a living witness to how Messi grew from a La Masia graduate to becoming one of the greatest players in the world. The two of them were important pillars of Barcelona from 2 until Puyol's retirement in 2005.

Since the beginning, Puyol has seen Messi as another figure at Barcelona. In his view, the Argentine player continues to improve his game and take the Catalan club to the highest level every year. Carles Puyol's admiration for Lionel Messi continues when La Pulga is now the captain of Barcelona and leads his group of friends. The 2010 World Cup gold medal winner threw his hat into the ring when his junior successfully broke the record for scoring the most goals at one club with 644 goals.

Puyol considers this achievement to be proof of Messi's greatness in the world of football. Puyol even views the owner of six Ballon d'Or as the same as Michael Jordan, a figure who is widely said to be the best in the NBA arena.

“He is very good and it didn't take long to show, but no one could have guessed that he would get to where he is now. "From the first day, he has set an example with his humility and his tricks in doing things," said Puyol about Messi, taken from Mundo Deportivo.

“You know he is a different player not because he can make a difference and win any game at any time, but because he continues to improve year after year. "For me, he is the greatest for thirteen or fourteen years in a row," Puyol added.

“If you ask me who Michael Jordan is, I keep saying that he is the best basketball player in history. "I think Messi has a similar position, as the greatest football player in history," he said.
