Angel Di Maria has no doubt in his mind that the best player in history is Lionel Messi, and he endorsed this when talking about what is happening at PSG between the Argentine and Kylian Mbappe.

The winger was keen to point out that Mbappe has the best player in history next to him at the Parisian club, even if the younger forward has been given most of the power.

"The French people, from the president to those at PSG, convinced him stay when he could have left," Di Maria told ESPN.

"They gave all that important burden to him, to be him and nobody else.

"There's a big difference because they gave him that power, having the best in history next to him. It's a bit difficult to counteract that.

"They gave him all that power and strength because he is French, he came from there, he won a World Cup and has an extraordinary career ahead of him.

"Putting all that aside, during the time I was there he was a good kid, and I don't think he's changed that much."

Di Maria: Messi is better than Maradona

The Juventus winger even puts Messi above Diego Maradona as the best in football history.

"For me, Messi is the best in history," Di Maria added.

"Diego is Diego, I take my hat off to him because, when everyone was killing me, he supported me, but in my mind Leo is the best."

He also commented on how incredible it would have been to have Maradona, who sadly passed away in November 2020, at the Qatar 2022 World Cup final between France and Argentina, in which the South American side finally lifted the cup again.

"It would have been very nice, to see Leo lift the World Cup and for Maradona to be there would be wonderful," he added.
