A Quote by Edgar Davids

Ronaldo is just an athlete. He works so hard and back to back; he is always there. But if you work hard, can you be like Messi? No, that's impossible. Can you be like Ronaldo? Yes, to a certain extent.

When my colleagues were back at home eating I'd still be practising and Ronaldo is the same, a real hard worker. I'm not a Barcelona fan but I very much admire Lionel Messi. I haven't seen him train. I know Ronaldo a lot better.

Eusebio

Usually, a Brazilian doesn't like to work hard in training, doesn't like to stay focused. I trained a lot of Brazilian players. I had a problem with Ronaldo at Milan. It was not easy to get him fit! Ronaldo was 100kg but was the quickest in the 10 metre test!

Carlo Ancelotti

Ronaldo could play for Millwall, QPR, Doncaster Rovers or anyone and he'd score a hat-trick. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, he's good in the air and he's brave, though Messi's brave too of course. I just think Messi is a Barcelona player.

Alex Ferguson

All I know is that I'd put Messi and Ronaldo in my team and eight others. I'd also have Petr Cech in goal and I'd play myself too. The three of us up there in the front line: Messi, Ronaldo and I.

Hulk

When you look at youth, they want to aspire to somebody. You can see that with him you have to work hard, and that's what you bring if you have someone like Ronaldo who embodies hard work and determination.

Messi or Ronaldo best player in the world? In the world, I would say Ronaldo. Messi is from another planet.

Arda Turan

Cristiano Ronaldo is more of a professional, hard-working guy. Ronaldo is the example you follow.

Samir Nasri

Unless I play like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, it'll be hard to give myself 100 out of 100.

Son Heung-min

Ronaldo? He is the most dangerous player at Real. It is hard to stop him, like Messi, because both score a lot of goals, and you never know what is going to be the next thing they will invent for scoring.

Rivaldo

Not everyone is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's first years at Manchester United were quite difficult.

Ryan Babel

Everyone knows Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi, not only me, but for some it's hard to recognize that.

Didier Drogba

I'm a big soccer fan. My favorite player is Ronaldo, but the real Ronaldo. The Ronaldo from Brazil.

Bojan Bogdanovic

Messi is the best, just like Cristiano Ronaldo, but you can only achieve something if you play as a team.

Ivan Perisic

I always looked up to Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo because he was for me the ideal footballer. He was at United, he had an unbelievable shot, his skills, he was fast, so the complete player. I always try to do the same things on the pitch like him.

Andreas Pereira

I have kids, so I can understand the image that footballers have. They are fans of some players; I see in their eyes. They admire and try to imitate their gestures, their words, their celebrations. They love Ronaldo and Messi. Since Euro 2016, though, they have no right to pronounce the name of Ronaldo!
