CAIRO-28 August 2020: Bayern Munich attacking midfielder Thomas Muller praised Barcelona star Lionel Messi, who is expected leave his childhood club this summer.
"Messi is one of the best players on the planet, also in the last 100 years." Muller said.
The German scored two goals to help his team defeat Barcelona 8-2 in Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
This loss was one of the main reasons that led Messi to decide that this season will be his last season in the Azulgrana jersey.
Muller recalled the unforgettable night, saying "They were very relaxed. That doesn't have to mean anything. The match could have ended differently, but I think it turned out that we were very hungry."
Muller believes that Messi's departure will be interesting for football fans around the world and he joked about the Argentinan joining the Bavarian giants.
"I've talked to our CFO a couple of times and I don't think we can do anything about it." He said.
