When asked if Lionel Messi had achieved the GOAT status after his World Cup triumph and if there was still any room for a debate, ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole replied: “There’s always the debate because it’s always going to be about what you think.
"I think what Leo has put to bed, though, is the debate of this generation, because he’s gone and completed it now, he’s won everything in the game."
"I’ve never seen a player like him, what he can do with the ball, his ability, his personality -- everything. And it’s just a joy to watch him every time", the BT Sport pundit added.
“I think he’s the greatest player of all time. Pele is the only one who can have an argument in that case.
“I don’t think Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Nazario or Diego Maradona -- I think he’s gone above them. He stands next to Pele now."
