Deco: Messi is more than Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or Romario

Brazilian-born Portuguese Deco, currently at Fluminense, said that Argentinian striker Lionel Messi is the main reason for Barcelona's amazing victories.

Deco played alongside Messi and Ronaldinho when they were part of Barcelona's 2006 squad. And he is convinced that Lio is far superior than any other player in Barça's history.

"Messi is not a '9' but he scores more goals than Ronaldo and Romario, and he is just as spectacular as Ronaldinho" Deco said. He concluded saying that Barcelona is "close to perfection".
