Neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo, but Marco Verratti takes the top spot in Mauricio Pochettino’s rankings. For the former Paris Saint-Germain coach, the Italian midfielder is the greatest player he has ever seen.
A key figure at PSG from 2012 to 2023, Verratti left a lasting impact, and his absence is still felt among Parisian supporters. Since 2023, he has been playing for Al Arabi SC in Qatar, where he continues to shine with 4 goals and 4 assists in 11 matches.
During a Q&A session with Goal, Pochettino didn’t hold back his admiration, stating unequivocally: “The best player I have ever seen in my life.”
A powerful tribute to a player whose legacy at PSG remains unforgettable.
