Messi, Rivaldo, Neymar and SuarezHe told Sport: "If you want to be the best in the world, PSG are strong, but they don't have a tradition in the Champions League, they're not the strongest in Europe.
"The French league isn't like the English, Spanish or German leagues, either.
"For that reason, I think he made a mistake, but financially it was good for him and his family.
"You have to win the Champions League, achieve something different, to win the Ballon d'Or. His team will always win the league and the cup but, like I say, it's not the strongest championship."
