“It's hard for a Real Madrid fan to admit that Mess is the best in history”

Now at 42 years of age, Puyol retired in 2014, making 593 presentations on the first team for Barcelona and 100 matches for the national team.

Puyol was a rock in the heart of the Catalonan club's defense for 15 seasons and was a companion of the Argentinian star's team for eight of those seasons.

Barcelona news has been determined in recent months by Messy news this year because the club captain had asked for a departure, although the club remained determined for its future last summer, refusing to leave.

This week, Messi scored his 644th goal for Barcelona, breaking Peles' record with Santos, to continue for a new record.

Puyol spoke of the silver star in an interview with Goal. com, while not willing to name Mess as the best player in football history.

I understand it's hard for a Real Madrid fan to admit he's the best, it's a thought like any other, but his goals are assigned targets”, Puyol said at first.

We've been lucky to have been able to enjoy it for so long and the numbers haven't been invented by anyone, but it's proof that he's the best. Remembering the work we've done together makes me very proud”

I'm confident that Leo-led Barcelona will continue to win” titles.

“In Barcelona he has already broken all records and doesn't know if there will be someone who can compete with him in the future, because he has set the limit too high”, the Spanish legend ended.
