Once he's on the run, Messi is unstoppable.

Fabio Capello

I don't run straight at a constant pace; soccer is always a change of pace and movement.

Alex Morgan

Messi is the more technical player of the two. He's better inside the area, the way he handles the ball and dribbles. You can see that he enjoys himself playing. Cristiano has a better body and is physically very strong. He has pace, speed and is a player with courage, and he can use both feet.

Alfredo Di Stefano

My pace alone is unstoppable. No one can keep my pace.

Colby Covington

Best team player? As good as Lebron James is, I have to go with Messi. What he's doing, he's on pace to becoming the best ever.

Luol Deng

I have in the past tended to overestimate the amount of change I can affect in the short run and then not fully appreciate the change I can affect in the long run. And so I've learned that it's critical to think carefully about the pace of change, and it's something that I've learned the hard way.

Harry West

Messi or Ronaldo? I prefer Messi because he is more of a street player.

Vicente del Bosque

Messi is the best. I have not seen or will ever see a player like Lionel Messi.

Fernando Torres

What Messi brings to a team, no other player can bring. Messi can break a match wide open.

Mauricio Pochettino

Cristiano Ronaldo is the world class player after Messi, but for me he is not on this Galactico level of Messi.

Ilkay Gundogan

Cristiano is an explosive type of player, with great technique, but he's still not as gifted as Messi in my opinion. Messi is more of a genius than Cristiano. Cristiano is so strong physically, so powerful, but Messi has more creativity.

Fabio Capello

Cristiano is unlucky to be playing in the same era as Messi. Ronaldo is a very good player, but Messi is even better.

Henrik Larsson

I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.

John Terry

You can’t run in more than one direction at a time. And you will only run in the direction you are facing. So if your heart is facing anything other than Allah, it isn’t Him you’re running towards.
