Messi, best player in history-Vitolo

By Daily Sports on November 7, 2016

Sevilla forward Vitolo lauded Lionel Messi as the best player ever to take to a football pitch after the Argentine's magic helped unravel the Andalucians on Sunday.

Vitolo had fired Sevilla into an early lead against Barcelona but Messi hit back by netting the equaliser and setting up Luis Suarez to seal three points on the road.

And the winger was gracious in defeat, acknowledging that Messi was on another level in a crucial Liga clash.

"Messi was no surprise, he is the best player in history and he knows how to run a game," Vitolo told reporters after the final whistle.

"In the first half we pressured him well but in the second he made the difference."

Despite the narrow defeat the player also had warm words for coach Jorge Sampaoli, who he credited with always seeking victory no matter the opponent since taking over at Sevilla.

"Adapting to his ideas was only a matter of time. He wants to dominate games regardless of the opponent," he explained.

"La Liga is very tight, the teams at the top are winning games. It will be tough, we hadn't lost at home until now." (goal.com)
