"Adidas” revealed Lionel Messi's list of the 10 most talented players in the world.

The list includes players such as Arsenal forward Max Dowman, Mexican Gilberto Mora who came to prominence at the World Cup, and many other young players.

This list, which features players aged 21 or younger, also includes L. Messi's fellow countryman Tomas Aranda.

However, it raises questions that all these players are already represented by the Adidas brand, so there may not have been space for other truly outstanding global talents.
