<\/p>\n

Former Boca Juniors goalkeeper, Hugo Gatti, has told Lionel Messi to move from Barcelona to arch-rivals Real Madrid, in order to prove he is the best player in history.<\/p>\n

Messi has spent his entire senior career at the Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

But Gatti believes he will not be able to compete with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona and Pele, without proving himself at another club.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems as if I am anti-Argentine, but until Messi performs in the big games, he will continue to be a player of home games.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has to have balls to go to Real Madrid and prove everything there like Cristiano [Ronaldo did]. Otherwise he will be just one more [player].<\/p>\n

\u201cCristiano went to the best club in the world. Messi plays at home, on his pitch with everything [that comes with that in terms of home comforts].<\/p>\n

\u201cLet him perform in the Champions League and the World Cup, otherwise he will always be one more [player]. When he performs there, he will fight with [Johan] Cruyff, [Diego] Maradona and Pele.<\/p>\n

\u201cMessi performs when they let him perform. It\u2019s very easy to perform with everything in your favour at home,\u201d Gatti said on TV show \u2018 El Chiringuito de Jugones\u2019.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
