Playing with Lionel Messi is something that every football fan dreams of – but for Rob Taylor, once of non-League Lincoln City, that dream is a reality.
The 28-year-old Finland international joined Inter Miami last year, but surely would not have expected to be playing alongside the World Cup hero with seven Ballon d’Or trophies.
Taylor and Messi put on a stellar show as Miami thrashed Atlanta 4-0 last week, netting a couple of goals each, with Taylor setting up the Argentine’s second before scoring a thunderous strike himself.
Naturally, when asked about his new team-mate, Taylor says “it’s a dream come true”.
“I’ve watched him play all my life at the highest level, and now, to play with him and to be in the same team as him is crazy,” the 28-year-old told Sky Sports.
“You watch him train and play every day and try and learn from him.
