Leo Messi praised Barcelona teammates Neymar and Luis Suarez ahead of the Champions League Final with Juventus.
The Blaugrana are undoubtedly favourites for the clash in Berlin on Saturday evening, mainly thanks to their trio of strikers.
“I’m lucky. I’ve played with so many wonderful forwards over the years,” Messi told Squawka.com.
“I had a great connection with Ronaldinho. I played with Samuel Eto’o, with Thierry Henry, with Pedro, David Villa, Alexis Sanchez.
“But I have to say that it is hard to top lining up alongside Neymar and Suarez. They are two players at the top of their games.
“We have only been together as a three for one season, so there is still work to do on the partnership, and we can all improve together – but we all see it as teamwork.
“I’ve said before that with Neymar’s quality, touch and fitness, he can become the best in the world – and Luis is the same. His touch, vision, his movement, his instinctive play, are incredible. We all offer something different, and make each other better.”
Messi is eager to win the Treble in Berlin, especially after the pain of Argentina’s World Cup Final defeat to Germany.
“Losing the World Cup final was a big, big blow. I wanted to win it for Argentines everywhere, for my country, and I was very upset afterwards. But being a professional means moving on from low moments quickly.
“If you’re on the pitch and you miss a chance, you can’t dwell on it – you need to think you are going to score the next one.
“So yes, losing the World Cup spurs you on to do better, and you want to use the anger and disappointment as motivation.”
