Former Dutch star Marco Van Basten praised Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo, but he denounced those who saw the latter better than Lionel Messi, the Barcelona icon.
“Cristiano is a great player, but those who say he is better than Messi do not understand anything in football,” said the former Ajax and Milan player, in his interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
“Messi is unique, impossible to repeat. A player like him appears every 50 or 100 years. He entered the football genius group as a young child.”
And the comparison continues between the two interesting players who dominated the prize for the best in the world from 2008 to 2017.
Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or five times to equal Messi in 2017, but the latter came back and took the prize last year.
Ronaldo is trying to equalize Messi again to prove that he is entitled to the title of best.
