At his best, Nesta was probably the best CB I've seen.
You could see he was putting an extraordinary strain on himself this season to hang on at a high level, but he could still cut it. Are there any other defenders, even ones in their prime, who could play Messi the way Nesta did this season?
Right decision to step away from top level football at this point before his standard drops too much.
Milan now have no players left that I like and have managed to replace the great, likable players they used to have with mediocre players who also happen to be pricks.
