Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Ousmane Dembele has named Lionel Messi as the greatest footballer of all time. The Frenchman was asked whether the current PSG side was the best team he has ever played for.
Dembele insisted that he couldn't say whether his current side was the best team he had played for. He claimed that he played alongside Lionel Messi at Barcelona, whom he considered the best player of all time.
He, however, admitted that he was enjoying his time with the current PSG side the most. The 27-year-old told Mundo Deportivo, as quoted by Barca Universal:
“I don’t know if it’s the best. I played in Messi’s Barça. For me, he is the best player of all time, but yes, it is this PSG, the team in which I have the most fun."
Dembele spent six years of his career on the books of Barcelona, out of which four were alongside Lionel Messi. The two played 95 games together and had 15 joint goal participations.
Dembele had a mixed spell at Barca, but it is safe to say that he could not live up to his massive €148 million reported transfer fee. He featured 185 times for the Catalan giants and contributed 40 goals and 41 assists.
The French winger is finally living up to his potential this season at PSG, where he has been on fire under Luis Enrique. He has produced 32 goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances across competitions this campaign.
