Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain has hailed Barcelona as the best team in the world.
The Argentine also told AS that Lionel Messi is the world's best player. Higuain, who is enjoying a great season so far for Real, thinks the Whites are the best team in history but Barca are currently the best in the world.
"People like who they like, but for me Messi is the best in the world," Higuain told AS.
"He has won the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player awards and at the moment is the world's best. Although Madrid are the best team in history, currently Barcelona are the best team in the world. It is hard for me to say that."
However Higuain also thinks Real have the depth in their squad to compete with Barca this season.
"We are very hopeful of claiming the Champions League trophy in the Bernabeu. It gives us special motivation that the final is in our own stadium. It would be heartbreaking for us if we were not to progress to the quarter-finals and on to the final."
The Argentine hotshot also spoke of the challenge of getting a first-team place this season.
"I had to fight a lot and it was never easy. Last season I was the leading scorer, but I began this season on the bench and had to fight to earn a place in the starting XI. The reason I have been able to earn it is because I have confidence in myself to do well."
