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.
I think Ashley Young is world class, Id put him in a bracket with Lionel Messi and Ronaldo
Messi not scoring? Great players aren't only great because of goals. If they don't score, they offer goals to teammates
Messi is the number one. No other player is close to him.
Messi is the best player on the planet and he keeps on improving at Barça, now the best team in the world. What Messi does on and off the pitch is an inspiration for children who dream of becoming a footballer.
They tell me that all men are equal in God's eyes, this player (Messi) makes you seriously think about those words.
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.
There is only one player who is doing things that I could never do - and that is Messi.
Cristiano reminds me of German tennis player Michael Stich. He was destined to make history, but then Boris Becker showed up. Cristiano is so fast, so strong, so incredible, but he has one problem: Leo Messi.
My ideal trident would be myself alongside Rooney and Messi. They are the players who make me dream - not Cristiano.
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.
Messi or Ronaldo? I prefer Messi because he is more of a street player.
Messi alone is more dangerous than Real Madrid's attacking trio Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale.
Messi is the great player of this generation, like there were great players in other generations.
Messi is the Best. There must be life out there somewhere, on some other planet. Because he is too good and we are just too bad for him.

It's impossible to be more of a footballer than Messi.
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.
When I see Messi play, in my opinion, he should win the Ballon d'Or every year. He is an unbelievable player.
Messi is the best player of all time. Better than Pele, better than Maradona and better than anyone else.
I've got a magnificent relationship with Leo (Messi) and Ney (Neymar). They drive the team, with Andres Iniesta as well - what a player. You know if you have a good relationship with them off the pitch it will be that way on the pitch too. They took it as a sign that I had come to help them, not to compete with them.
Who is the Best Player in the World? Leo Messi.
As far as I see it you just can't give Messi space in the dangerous areas - we have to close him down, get tight and give him as little room as we can because if you don't, he can destroy you.
Cristiano is unlucky to be playing in the same era as Messi. Ronaldo is a very good player, but Messi is even better.
