Girona’s Argentinian forward Taty Castellanos has described Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi as a ‘God’.
Lionel Messi led Argentina to their first FIFA World Cup in 36 years in Qatar last December, scoring seven goals and three assists in seven games.
Castellanos said that the former Barcelona superstar’s performance at the World Cup made him cry and is grateful to the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The Argentine striker, Castellanos netted four goals for Girona against Real Madrid in La Liga on Tuesday and the centre-forward is unsure if Messi saw his exploit.
“I don’t know if Leo [Lionel Messi] saw the game [between Real Madrid and Girona],” Castellanos told Jijantes.
“We are talking about the best player in the world. I have never been able to deal with him. He is God. We Argentines have the best. He made me cry at the World Cup. I am his fan.
“You don’t have to compare them [Messi and Diego Maradona] , you have to enjoy them. Today I have to enjoy Messi. For me, he is an idol.”
