David Luiz: Messi is the best player ever

David Luiz labelled Lionel Messi “the best player ever” after marking the Barcelona forward during Paris Saint Germain’s defeat to the Catalan side on Wednesday evening.

The French champions only needed a point against Barca to seal top spot in Group F and they went ahead through Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but goals from Luis Suarez, Neymar and Leo Messi ensured the home side an eighth consecutive top spot in the Champions League group stages.

“It’s the efficiency that made the difference,” Brazil international Luiz told Canal+. “They were better than us; they have three huge forwards. Messi is fantastic, the best player ever.

“Barca also have a smart head coach and other great players.”

The defeat means PSG will now face one of the group winners, something Luiz is already preparing for.

Luiz said: “We will now think about the next step. The next game will be difficult. We’ll have to beat everybody to go all the way. In February we could play anyone.”
