Comparisons between Portugal captain and Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina captain and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Lionel Messi are common in the football world.

The discussion about who is the superior footballer between the two superstars appears to be endless. There isn't much between the two in terms of statistics, fitness, or overall ability. As a result, many people are perplexed when asked to choose between Ronaldo and Messi. However, AC Milan veteran Marco van Basten believes there is a clear winner between the two.

Cristiano is a fantastic player, but people who claim he is better than Messi either don't understand football or are lying "In an interview with Corriere dello Sport, the 57-year-old stated. "Messi is a one-of-a-kind player. It is impossible to imitate and impossible to replicate. Every 50 or 100 years, a player like him appears. He fell into the football genius pot as a child "He had an opinion.

Additionally, the 57-year-old Dutchman revealed his three all-time greatest footballers, which did not include Ronaldo or Messi. "For me, the three greatest players in history are Pele, [Diego] Maradona, and [Johan] Cruyff," Van Basten told Marca. "As a child, I aspired to be like Cruyff. He was a friend of mine. I miss my days.

When it comes to Ronaldo and Messi's form, both had average seasons by their own standards. Last season, the Portuguese striker returned to Manchester United and scored 16 goals as the Red Devils finished sixth in the English Premier League. Messi, on the other hand, moved from Barcelona to PSG and scored 11 goals in all competitions. He, on the other hand, led Argentina to the Copa America title in mid-2021 and to the Finalissima 2022.
