Speaking to ESPN, David Beckham was full of praise for the Rosario-native who is his favourite to watch.

“It has to be Messi. I love Leo… for many different reasons. I love him because he’s a great father, I love him because he’s a great personality, a great character, he’s a great person”, he said.

“I think what everybody loves about him is the way he plays the game. He plays the game with passion, he plays the game just free.

“I think that in the last World Cup, the way he played for his team and his country, winning the tournament was an incredible moment for him, and I love seeing players like that.”
