Former England goal machine praises Argentine star on Twitter.
Ex-England international Gary Lineker was so amazed by Lionel Messi’s goal in Wednesday night’s Champions League tie against Manchester City by tweeting that watching him made him realise how s*** he had been throughout his own career.
Lineker spent a few seasons at the Nou Camp himself as a player in the mid ’80s and cut a popular figure, but insisted that he was nothing compared to the 26-year-old.
Messi’s feet are ridiculous!

In all seriousness, Messi produces more pieces of exceptional skill in a single game than I managed in an entire career.
