One of the world's most prestigious sports magazines put Leo above the Brazilian.

Pelé is considered one of the best players of all time, however, on more than one occasion his ego took its toll. A few years ago, he belittled Lionel Messi, whom he called 'incomplete'. Now, the '10' of the Albiceleste gives a lesson to the former Brazilian national team player.

The former Canarinha 10 marked an era. He won three World Cups and is among the most outstanding players of all time. However, after his retirement, he has made a series of unwise statements.

One of them against Leo, who is the current star of PSG, where he has eight goals and eight assists between Ligue 1, Champions League and French Super Cup. A couple of years ago, Pelé described Messi as 'incomplete'.

He compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo and pointed out that the reigning Copa America champion is not the best, as he lacks strength in his heading and right-footed finishing. An unfounded statement, as Leo has scored countless goals with those parts of his body.

Lionel Messi's lesson to Pelé:

The magazine 'Four Four Two', one of the most prestigious in the world, released the list of the best players of all time. The magazine pointed out that Lionel Messi is the most outstanding, while the Brazilian is in fourth place, surpassed by 'La Pulga', Diego Armando Maradona and Cristiano Ronaldo.
