'Messi, Jordan, Federer the best' - Football world reacts to Wimbledon win

Roger Federer made history on Sunday as he won his eighth Wimbledon title and his 19th Grand Slam title.

The Switzerland native beat Marin Cilic in straight sets, 6-3 6-1 6-4, on centre court to ensure that he finished his Wimbledon campaign without dropping a single set.

All the biggest transfer rumours

The sporting world watched on eagerly as Federer put on a clinic, and was then honoured by a number of top footballing stars on social media, including Mesut Ozil and Gerard Pique.

To win #Wimbledon without dropping a set. Eighth title and almost 36 too. No sweat. Pure class, Roger Federer. Brilliant.
