Paul Scholes says Barcelona star
Lionel Messi is the best player he's ever shared a pitch with - placing him ahead of former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Argentine star, 27, will bid to claim his fourth Champions League winners' medal when Barca face Juventus in Berlin on Saturday night.
And Scholes, who came up against Messi on no fewer than four occasions, places Messi above a number of world class stars past and present.
In his Independent column, Scholes wrote: "I think about the great players with whom I have shared a pitch: Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Cristiano Ronaldo and the greatest of them all is Messi."
