Scholes played against Messi on four different occasions and ranks him ahead of his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
He wrote: "I think about the great players with whom I have shared a pitch: Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Cristiano Ronaldo – and the greatest of them all is Messi."
The former Man Utd icon also advised Juventus to not follow a similar approach that Man Utd used in the 2011 final - Unitedwere very open and saw Barcelona's mesmeric midfield carousel absolutely tear them to shreds - by saying "you try to beat this Barcelona team at their own game and, over the course of 10 games, you lose every time. Defend against them and then counter-attack, and perhaps you win once or twice in 10."
Paul Scholes and Barcelona in one article, we can only end on this.
