NAPLES, ITALY - Lionel Messi is the"greatest" footballer of all time, ahead of even Diego Maradona, Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso said on Monday ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Barcelona.

"He never says anything inappropriate. He does things that only exist on the Playstation, unthinkable things. Hey @FCBarcelona! Looking forward to your visit in the @ChampionsLeague. Enjoy the pizza 🍕, enjoy the city 🌇, and have a nice stay. 🛄 pic.twitter.com/yVoCECDOOA Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne was not so keen to accept that Messi has reached greater heights than 1986 World Cup winner Maradona.

Napoli are enjoying a recent upturn in form after a dreadful start to the Serie A season, which culminated in the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti following a 4-0 win over Genk that sent them into the Champions League knockout stage."Tomorrow , I want a Napoli side that are not afraid," added Gattuso.
