Sina Sports News - This month, Messi was awarded the "Ballon d'Or" by FIFA and France Football Magazine, becoming the second player after Platini to win this award for three consecutive years.
"The King of Football" Pelé admitted in an interview with French newspaper Le Monde that he is a fan of Messi, but emphasized that Messi still has more to do if he wants to be compared with him.
"From a purely technical standpoint, Messi and I are players at the same level," Pelé said to Le Monde. "Both of us have been blessed with talent from God."
"Records are meant to be broken, but to be honest, my records are hard to break. Let's talk about comparing with me after Messi scores 1283 goals and wins three World Cups."
Pelé concluded: "People always ask me when there will be a new Pelé. I tell them 'never.' My parents have closed the 'factory' that makes Pelés."
