Real Madrid legend Marcelo has put Clasico rivalry to one side by admitting that Lionel Messi is “incredible” and the “toughest opponent” he faced.

Lionel Messi thanked the Argentine Football Association (AFA) for renaming the national team's training centre after him.

AFA president Chiqui Tapia announced on Saturday that Argentina's training camp would be named after "the best player in the world" Lionel Messi.

Lionel Messi was defended by former France international Johan Micoud, who said it is unfair to say Messi does not care about Paris Saint-Germain.

Former Arsenal and Real Madrid attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil spoke about beating Barcelona, labelling Cristiano Ronaldo as the greatest of all time.
