Morgan Rogers: Facing Messi made me imagine his greatness at the top

Morgan Rogers, England international, has praised Argentine star Lionel Messi, confirming that facing him in the FIFA World Cup semi-final left a big impression on him, even though Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo remains his favorite player.

Rogers said: "Cristiano Ronaldo is my personal favorite player, but I played against Messi in the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup, and he was 39 years old, I couldn't believe what I saw."

The English player spoke about the level Lionel Messi has shown: "I can't imagine what his level was at the peak of his powers, I think that in his best moments you couldn't do anything against him, it was impossible."

Morgan Rogers concluded his remarks by praising what he witnessed against the Argentine star, confirming that stopping him was nearly impossible even in that match, despite Messi reaching the age of thirty-nine.
