He said: "Messi is the best player in the world, but he's not invincible.
"Obviously, it's Barcelona. It's Leo Messi. It's very difficult to stop this guy because he's very quick, very clever. But, look, it's not impossible.
"He's on another level. No one can do what he does.
"For this reason, to have played with him is special. Special for me, and something to tell my sons in the future because, probably, he'll be considered the best in history."
