Ibrahimovic: 'Messi is the best'

Paris Saint-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said that Lionel Messi is the best player in the world.

The Sweden international also believes that the Barcelona forward deserves to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or award this year.

"Messi is the best player in the world, he deserves the Ballon d'Or," Ibrahimovic told BeIn Sport.

"I know he's won it several times but it is deserved. He plays like he's on PlayStation, it's unbelievable.

"People who say otherwise either don't know anything about football or are just talking nonsense."

Messi has won the Ballon d'Or for the past three years.
