According to punchng.com, Brazil legend Ronaldo has a slight preference for Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo due to the Barcelona star’s creativity.
Former Brazil star Ronaldo believes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are on another level, but feels the Barcelona forward holds the edge over his Real Madrid colleague due to his creativity.
Messi and Cristiano have shared eight Ballons d’Or among them over the past decade, with the Argentine lifting the trophy on five occasions against the Madrid man’s three wins.
Ronaldo is in awe of both, but he has a slight preference for Messi.
Brazilian Legend Ronaldo was quoted saying:
“Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both great players, they are well ahead of the rest,” the Brazil legend told Sky Sport Italia.
“But I would say that Messi is slightly more creative than Cristiano.
“The way he touches the ball, with his quick movement and changes of direction, it is not easy to do things like that with the ball at your feet.”
Messi has netted 27 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona in 2015/16.
Cristiano, meanwhile, has been even more clinical and has scored 33 in 31 games.
