The rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has divided football pundits, with each choosing who they believe is superior.
Former FIFA president reflects on how his personal viewpoint enraged Ronaldo and his club president at the time.

Some sports journalists, he claims, present sporting news as if it were a running commentary.
Kwabena Agyepong stated in an exclusive interview with Oyerepa Breakfast Time on Thursday that some sports presenters rattle through their presentations as if they were running commentary.
Sometymer should counsel these sportscasters. They present news as if it were running commentary if you listen to them in the morning. I was listening to one this morning, and he was ranting and rattling, so I assumed he was providing commentary. Parker Wilson, the show's host, was informed.
"They must be patient because this is not how we were thought." Kwabena Agyepong stated unequivocally.
Kumasi sports journalists have recently come under fire for the unprofessional manner in which they present their news.
Raphinha, who scored 11 goals and had three assists in 36 games for Leeds United last season, is one of the market's main players. Because of the interest shown by several clubs in signing him, particularly FC Barcelona, which now appears to be taking the lead despite Chelsea and Arsenal's interest.
The Catalan entity has moved its strings quickly, and as we can see on the cover of the Sport newspaper this Saturday, the Catalans are well on their way to bringing this player in. Negotiations between clubs are progressing, the striker has given his approval, and the deal should be completed soon.
