When asked about Messi, Alexander-Arnold responded, “Nothing needs to be said on that,” according to All About Argentina and talkSPORT. The greatest athlete ever. Even as he ages, watching him is still magical.

“I don't think I'll ever see anything like him again. I'm just trying to take it all in while I'm watching him.

In Argentina's 2-1 round-of-16 victory over Australia, Messi recently participated in his 1000th game of his career.
