Messi is the best footballer of all time: Manchester City’s Silva
Manchester: Spanish midfielder David Silva has said that Argentine forward Lionel Messi is part of his dream team as he is the best footballer of all time.
“He’s the best of all time, although I haven’t had a chance to watch some other greats of the past,” he was quoted as saying by marca.com Thursday.
Silva lined him up in attack of his dream team alongside former great Ronaldo, saying the Brazilian is “the best striker I’ve ever seen.”
Silva also included three of his Spain team-mates in his team – goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defenders Sergio Ramos and Carles Puyol.
“Next to Ramos I’d play with Puyol for the same reasons, we’ve won many titles together and I think he’s one of the best defenders in the world. He is a great player and a very brave defender.”
Brazilians Cafu and Roberto Carlos, Frenchman Claude Makelele and Patrick Vieira, Portuguese Luis Figo and Danish Michael Laudrup complete his team.
Silva who plays for English Premier League Club Manchester City will play Messi’s Barcelona in a Champions league encounter at home Feb 24 and travel to the Camp Nou for the return tie March 18 in what will be one of the most competitive last sixteen showdowns of this year’s competition.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
