The Barcelona shot stopper has stated that Lionel Messi has the ability to define a new era of football under his name.
Valdes heaped mountains of praise over the three-time Ballon d’Or winner and claimed that the best is yet to come from the highly talented forward.
The Spaniard remarked that Messi is clearly superior to his competitors and his dominance over the sport of football is undisputed.
The Barca number 1 then went on to discuss Messi’s record breaking performance against Granada.
This midweek saw http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 become the highest scorer in the history of Barcelona, after he broke the record previously held by Cesar Rodriguez.
The match was yet another impressive display by the Catalan giants as they were able to assert their dominance over Granada.
Even though the visiting team appeared to be threatening on several occasions, La Blaugrana proved too strong for them to cope with.
A hat-trick by Leo Messi, along with goals from Xavi and Tello, saw the Spanish champions emerge victorious on the night.
While talking to Canal+, Valdes quoted:
"He has now surpassed Cesar's record and if he goes on like this, he will define an era. This [the performance against Granada] is what we have to do now each week. The only thing we can do is win all of our own games."
The Argentine international’s treble on Tuesday night also made him the highest goal scorer in the Spanish La Liga as he has found the net 34 times so far this season.
