Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, Jan Oblak, has paid tribute to Lionel Messi ahead of his imminent move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi left Barcelona after he was unable to renew his contract with the Catalan club due to LaLiga regulations.
The 34-year-old bid an emotional farewell to Barcelona in a press conference on Sunday.
The Argentine international will now link up with his close friend Neymar at PSG.
Reacting to the development, Oblak, who has played against Messi in the LaLiga, said the forward inspires everyone to raise their game.
He wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, “For as long as I’ve been playing, #Messi has been redefining football. If it wasn’t for him, @LaLiga would be a very different place.
“I’d have a few more clean sheets for a start. He inspires everyone to raise their game. Here’s to his next dream.”
