“A player like Messy is born every 50 or 100 years”

The debate over which of the two big stars is best has been going on for years. Van Basten has a very strong opinion on the matter.

“Randaldo is a great player, but those who say he's better than Messi don't know anything about football or say it badly”, Van Basten said.

“Mess is unique. Unable to follow, impossible to repeat. Such a footballer appears every 50 or 100 years”, the Dutch concluded.
