Mourinho believes Messi could even win football's biggest prize with some bloke called Anthony.
"He played a Champions League final with [Pep] Guardiola, he is normally going to play in this season’s Champions League final with Luis Enrique," he continued.
"If, one day, he plays for Anthony, Anthony will go to a Champions League final with him. When people analyse teams, you have to remember that this boy makes everything different."
He might be the greatest player anyone has ever seen, but old Jose says he knows how to keep a lid on him.
"Every time I played against Messi, I spent hours studying and trying to stop him," he said.
"The best way to do it is man-to-man because that is better than involving everyone. When you go man-to-man, you go with similar power - although man-to-man with him is an impossible job.
"Every time I was thinking about how best collectively - I am not saying stop him - to give him a difficult match.
"It is not about stopping him but giving him a difficult match. That is the best you do against him."
