“The best in the world” – When USWNT superstar Alex Morgan opened up on admiration for Lionel Messi

USWNT superstar Alex Morgan hailed Lionel Messi when she visited the Camp Nou in 2017 to see the former Barcelona superstar in flesh. Barca played Deportivo La Coruna that night. While the Blaugrana won 4-0, Messi didn't get on the scoresheet.
In a video released on Barca's YouTube channel, the USWNT superstar could be seen talking to former Barcelona stars, Gerard Pique, Thomas Vermaelen and Paulinho. She also took a snap with former club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
“Leo Messi is the best in the world. Unfortunately, tonight, I didn’t get to see him score a goal in person. However, he has scored many goals in his lifetime, and being a forward, I admire him, and I love to watch him play. So, tonight was something special for me.”
