When you ask Lionel Messi, seen by many as the greatest of all time, about other legends he admires, you get a beautiful glimpse into the mind of a champion who never stops learning.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Lionel Messi spoke from the heart when asked which sporting icons have inspired him throughout his life and career.

Messi said: "For us Argentinians, Maradona was always the one. Our greatest legend. The greatest player for what he represented to all of us. I was young and only saw him play live a little but Diego transcended everything. He was something much bigger than any limits or boundaries in football."

Beyond football

Messi then looked beyond football and referenced greatness in other sports.
