• WHAT ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER SAID

  Mac Allister said: "I shared a dressing room with Moi, he was a fantastic player, so good physically.

  "Physically is the hardest part. On and off the ball he is so good, he's so complete."

  On putting Rodri third on the list: "This doesn't mean that I don't rate Rodri! It's the complete opposite. He earned the Ballon D'or, he's a fantastic player. He's not the hardest opponent, because he's never on the ball. He always plays one or two touches, and you cannot even get near him. I put it like this because of the physical attributes."
