Another opinion of Xavi, Messi, Barcelona colleagues. “If we choose who the best soccer player in the world, it was Messi. Currently, no one can approach the quality,” said Spain’s national team midfielder.

Look also greeting Gerard Pique, Barcelona defender who had a club with Ronaldo at Manchester United in 2004-08. “The debate over who is better between Messi and Ronaldo really blurry. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the debate could even arise,” he said.

Please have their own opinion, but the words are true Pique. Compare one player with another player is very difficult, if not practically impossible.

In the case of Messi and Ronaldo, both have different styles. Messi is difficult to maintain as much movement involving a teammate. Open space and perform one-two operands are the favorite action star is Argentina.
Ronaldo is more likely a single fighter. The player with the title of this CR7 rely more on speed and maneuverability of individuals in the movement tore opponent.
Ronaldo himself admitted it. “Everyone is talking about me and Messi. But this is not an individual duel,” he said in early April last year dailymail.
“Messi is not playing alone, co-coach of the club and have influence. Messi is great, but he also was in a complete team. When I became the best with United first, I was not playing alone. What is clear, I’m bigger than him, at least of body size, “said Ronaldo.

If so, it seems football fans would agree. Be wise to enjoy the genius of action of both. Remember, Messi was 23 years old, while Ronaldo is only three years older. This is scary from Messi and Ronaldo, they still have plenty of time to be better than now.
