Everton footballer Richarlison said that Leo Messi is "the best in the world, from another planet." He also said it about Real Madrid.

Richarlison made several interesting comments in a chat he had with 'ESPN'. He had positive things to say about Leo Messi and Real Madrid.

"Leo Messi is the best player in the world, he's from another player. I'd like to play at his side," the Brazilian footballer said about Messi. Richarlison also recalled the Copa America final Brazil lost to Argentina.

"After losing the final, I cred a lot, I was very hurt. On seeing Messi celebrate, I thought that he also deserved a title with his national team," Richarlison said on the 2021 tournament.

Real Madrid were also spoken about. "They're the best team in the world. They have Vinicius, who is also in good form. On Ancelotti he called him "a great coach and that Real Madrid are lucky to have him." Ancelotti had coached Richarlison at Everton.

"Brazil are the favourites to win the World Cup. We never get knocked out in the first round. We have five World Cups," Richarlison concluded.
