Hugo Gatti has insisted that the Argentina captain, Lionel Messi of Barcelona move to arch-rivals Real Madrid to prove himself as the best player in history.
Former Boca Juniors goalkeeper Gatti is of the opinion that Messi – who has spent his whole senior career with Barcelona says he cannot beat his chest as the best player in history, as he might be unable to compete with players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona and Pele for the title of football's greatest player without proving himself at another club.
He also claims that Messi has not been successful on the international stage which is also a determinant in his football career and which has also counted against him.
It seems as if I am anti-Argentine, but until Messi performs in the big games, he will continue to be a player of home games," Gatti said on TV show 'El Chiringuito de Jugones'.
Gatti continues that Messi must be bold enough to move to Real Madrid and prove himself just like Ronaldo did or else he will just pass for a player without those extraordinary abilities.
