Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro has hailed Lionel Messi, describing the Argentine as a very competitive player.
Giving a glowing verdict on Messi, Casemiro said anyone who loves football will love the former Barcelona ace.
The 36-year-old Messi and Casemiro, 31, clashed for six years representing Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively.
It is a rarity that players from Real Madrid will praise those from Barcelona.
However, Casemiro insisted that if you are a football fan then you should be a fan of the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner.
He told Luiz Castro, via Albiceleste Talk, “Messi made an era and he was always competitive with Barcelona and Argentina and there was no way out.
“Whoever loves football will love Messi. It was a pleasure to play against him.
“He is someone who needs no comment you can only admire.”
