The former Sevilla captain who is in his second season at the Catalan club called on his team-mates to adapt to the Argentine's absence.
Speaking to Vecernji Rakitic said: "MSN are football magicians and if I wasn't part of that family, I would also admit they are the best.
"The Croatia international also spoke in depth about his relationship with Messi and the need for Barca to adapt during his injury-enforced absence.
"Messi is one and only, no one like him will ever be born again," he added.
"When it gets tough, he pops up and solves the problem."Now each one of us will have to give even more to replace him, but it is impossible to make up Messi's absence.
He also spoke about his personal relationship with Messi.
"Privately, Messi is calm, quite, no big words... but as I came, he approached me and said 'Hi, I am Lionel Messi, and whatever you need, just tell me'.
"Now our wives and children hang out more than the two of ushave time to."
