According to Herrera, the Argentina international is different from other footballers.
The former Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain star also praised Nigerians for their passion for the beautiful game, saying they appreciate football.
Speaking recently with SportyTV, the 35-year-old said when asked the best footballer in history: “Always Messi, I had the opportunity to play with him in Paris Saint-Germain for one year.
“It was amazing, in my opinion, the best player in the history of football and I think in Nigeria you appreciate football as well as I do. You have to recognize Messi is different.
“Of course, there are some amazing players that I have played with like Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Neymar, Mbappe, Sergio Ramos—players that will be remembered forever in the history of football—but Messi, for me, is the top of the top.”
