Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli said trying to compare Lionel Messi with anyone else is like comparing a good policeman to Batman.

The Barcelona superstar is often being compared with some of the greatest names of the game.

But Sampaoli insisted it’s just a waste of time.

“Equating Messi with anyone else is like comparing a policeman with Batman,” Sampaoli told BeIN Sports.

Messi, 29, has already won five Ballon d’ Ors and is Barcelona’s all time leading goal-scorer.
