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

It's going to be a pleasure to coach Cristiano Ronaldo. Certainly, he's one of the top players in the world next to Lionel Messi, and I'm looking forward to the privilege of coaching such a fantastic player.

Massimiliano Allegri

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

Messi is the best in the world. Cristiano is a goalscorer. Messi is more taltented, more complete, tactically and footballwise. Cristiano isn't doing those runs anymore like at United. Messi takes more part in the game, I'd always prefer him in my team.

Cesc Fabregas

Ronaldo is a fantastic player, he scores a lot of goals and is really complete, but what Messi does nobody else can or ever will do.

Jordi Alba

Obviously, training at Barcelona is a fantastic experience. You train alongside players like Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, who are clearly some of the best players in the world.

Gerard Deulofeu

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

Ronaldo is a fantastic player, one of the best I've ever seen, but he's been a bit unfortunate to be of the same generation as Messi. Consequently, they have to share the limelight.

Jay-Jay Okocha

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both great players with specific qualities, but Pele was better.

Alfredo Di Stefano

I think Messi's is a fantastic attitude and should be the mentality that all top players in the world should adopt.

Luis Enrique

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

Arda Turan

Every time he plays, Leo Messi reminds me more of Maradona, both left-footed and short, Messi is the best player in the world, along with Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo. For us it is not a surprise. Since he began to come and train with us and we knew we would go down this path. Someday I will explain that I was at the birth of one of the footballing greats: Leo Messi.
