Pele has named Lionel Messi as the world’s most complete player right now and would have loved to play with him.

Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport per SportStar, the 79-year-old said: “I think of Leo Messi.

“He is a skilled player, gives assists, passes, scores, dribbles well. “If we were in the team together, the opponents should worry about two players, not just one! “Today, Messi is the most complete player.”
