Mascherano recently accepted an interview with the media and said that Messi is the best in his mind football history.
Mascherano said: "Obviously, Messi is an extraordinary player. To me, he is the greatest player in the history of the sport, which is incredible because he is still creating miracles. Many years ago we might have thought that we would never see such a performance again at this stage, right? But at the end of the day, he is a unique player. It is our luck to have him."
"Yes, we were going to give him some rest against the New England Revolution, but after New England scored, we were under pressure, so we had to make a choice to choose to keep him on the court. This is not ideal because we know that in the next schedule, we have to look for opportunities to rest. This is the reality, because we are going to play in the Club World Cup, the future is very intensive."
