The 32-year-old has won everything in club football with Barcelona, but yet to taste success with La Albiceleste in a major tournament, despite featuring in every single international competition since the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
The former Cruzeiro man played with Messi briefly in the Argentina national team before retiring in 2009.
Sorin said he was lucky to have lined up with the 2019 Ballon d’Or winner and believes Messi is an alien, making reference with his solo goal against Athletic Bilbao in the 2015 Copa del Rey final.
"Luckily we played together," Sorin told Ole. "He is an alien, there is no way [to stop him].”
"You saw the goal he made against [Athletic] Bilbao in the final of the Copa del Rey almost as a right winger - a monster! I have serious pride in having shared his first times in the national team.
"Messi assumed this reconstruction of the national team from a leading place and not wanting to break anything in there.”
“Then he also understood, as it happens to all of us when we grow up, what is the weight of his voice. “
"I hope we get a result in a major tournament with him. Maybe we deserved it a lot, but his struggle, having left so many things and past so many situations.”
"I think that not only Argentines want it but the fans of the world expect him to also win something big with Argentina."
