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

Ryan Babel

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they play on a different galaxy.

Samir Nasri

I think about the great players with whom I have shared a pitch: Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Cristiano Ronaldo - and the greatest of them all is Messi.

Paul Scholes

I can tell some names that played with me at Real Madrid and there's so many legends, everything is there. You know Roberto Carlos, Fernando Hierro, Raul, Zizou, Figo, Makelele, Ronaldo - the big one! - and Cristiano Ronaldo afterwards...pick any of those guys and you'd have an incredible team.

Michel Salgado

Nobody is perfect. Even Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo can sometimes look like players from League One.

Mousa Dembele

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

Messi or Cristiano - Speed? Cristiano. Shot? Cristiano. Dribbling? Messi. Intelligence? Messi. Talent? Messi. Winner is Messi!

Usain Bolt

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

Ivan Perisic

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

Ilkay Gundogan

I'd never look at someone and think he's better than me, unless it's Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

Wilfried Zaha

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Luis Suarez all play at a really impressive level and are consistently excellent.

Gael Monfils

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

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.
