The Spanish midfielder spoke about the Argentinean maestro, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who he believes should win the FIFA Ballon d’Or award because he is the best at the moment.
Athletic Bilbao’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Muniain-c16816 has added his name to the list of footballers who hail the Argentinean skipper, Lionel Messi.
There are many footballing fans and pundits who believe that the Argentinean maestro is one of the best players in the history of the game and the Bilbao star seconds that notion.
According to the player, Messi is a player who plays phenomenal football and does things which no other footballer does.
Muniain and his team, Athletic Bilbao, are going to be up against the Argentinean star over the weekend and he realizes that they will have a tough task as stopping the current Ballon d’Or winner is next to impossible.
Messi currently has 82 goals in the 2012 calendar year and he is only three goals short of beating Gerd Muller’s 85-goal mark, something which no other player in the world has managed to achieve.
The Argentinean is currently in an extremely good form and he is planning to beat Muller’s record as soon as possible. Moreover, with only three goals left this year, a hat-trick against Bilbao would mean that he has equalled the German legend’s record.
Muniain spoke about how Messi is the best player in the world and deserves the FIFA Ballon d’Or award for this season.
“Messi deserves the Ballon d’Or. He is the best in the world and it is very difficult to stop him.”
“Leo is always a concern, I think he will be at the same level as always on Saturday.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 are currently three points above Atletico Madrid and eleven points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Tito Vilanova has a chance to extend his lead over either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, as one of the two teams are definitely going to drop points during the upcoming Spanish La Liga fixture.
However, a draw between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is going to be a perfect result for La Blaugrana, as the Catalan giants are going to extend their lead by two points over both the teams.
