Sancho names his GOAT

In a 2020 interview with SoccerBible, Sancho was asked to name the players who left him star-struck on the football pitch.

In addition to Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, the Englishman singled out Lionel Messi, describing the Argentine maestro as the 'best player in the world'.

He said: "Messi, Mbappe, Neymar - that was kind of jaw-dropping [shaking their hands for the first time before a match].

"Mbappe's near me in age, but what he's done, you have to respect it. Won the World Cup at such a young age, carried the team... hats off to him.

"That's a great player right there. And obviously Neymar, I look up to him. I see me as him. I relate to what he does on the pitch.

"And then Messi just speaks for itself. Best player in the world."
