Willian, currently at Palmeiras, explained why Messi stands out:

"The way he plays and what he does on the field is someone I will always admire."

As a right-winger himself, there are parts of Messi's game that are reflected in the Brazilian's, and he admits as much.

"Of course, being left-footed like me, I think it's no surprise that I look up to him," Willian added, smiling.
