'Doesn't run a lot': Eduardo Camavinga names Barca legend as best player he's ever faced

"Lionel Messi [is the best player I've ever faced]... he is someone who doesn't run a lot, but when he touches the ball, you feel that his level is very high," Eduardo Camavinga has told Oh My Goal.

Leo Messi has faced Eduardo Camavinga twice in his career – in the 2022 World Cup final and with Paris Saint-Germain against Real Madrid when the Whites performed a Champions League comeback. 82 minutes in total were enough for the Frenchman to recognise Leo's class.

Camavinga was literally this close to Messi's magic left foot!

Interestingly, Barcelona reportedly targeted Eduardo Camavinga in 2021 as a potential long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets. However, the Catalans couldn't afford the hot prospect at the time.
