Arteta has compiled his symbolic team of five players

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named five players he believes are the best in the world of all time.
"Messi has to come first. That's absolutely true because in my opinion he is the most influential player in the history of football. We have never seen anything like this from other players, and Messi has been doing it for many years.
Then, of course, I would choose Ronaldo and I would also take Ronaldo because I have been in love with his game since childhood. Just imagine showing up on a Thursday night and being faced with these three without a spare pair of shorts. Also, I would definitely include Johan Cruyff because of his intelligence and what he did for the development of football.
Another player I would definitely include in the team is Maradona. Because of my family, my part Argentinean heritage and because of my wife. The way he has changed football and Barcelona deserves his presence,” Planet Football quoted Arteta as saying.
