He said, “Lionel Messi is the greatest player of all time, without any doubt.
“Cristiano has managed to match Messi without innate talent. But those of us who have played against them can see the difference.”
The midfielder highlighted the differing challenges of facing the two football legends, stressing that Messi presented a significantly more constant and widespread threat on the field.
He said, “With Cristiano, we didn’t want him to step into the box because he was lethal there.
“But with Messi, the danger was everywhere on the pitch.”
