Christiano Ronaldo better than Lionel Messi - Sergio Ramos
The most prolific player of Santiago Bernabeu, admitted that he was forced to select one reckless striker from the two epic characters. He would select Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of Lionel Messi.
He threw the statements after Real Madrid had a wonderful act, on the field against Real Soceidad on Sunday 6th Feb, 2011. Real Madrid thrashed the opponents by axing four sensational goals to one goal against. Cristiano Ronaldo was being criticized heavily for not being into his prime form over the past few games and that too when Messi scored a hat - trick against Atletico Madrid on 5th Feb, 2011.
Pep Guardiola’s squad has outperformed the 15 matches unbeaten run, set by Alfredo Di Stefano during the 1960-61 season. Real Madrid at that point was leading the points table with an immense difference of ten points but now FC Barcelona is leading the current spell of La Liga.
Atletico’s goal-keeper appraised Camp Nou for the level of football they played that night. David de Gea asserted that the little Messi is unstoppable. The 46-year-old Spaniard, Quique Sanchez Flores started the Messi-Ronaldo feud by flaring a statement that ‘Messi is the Di Stefano of the 21st century’.
After the thrilling defeat to his Atletico Madrid, Atletico's boss admired Messi by asserting that Messi is the best player in today’s game, who have an ability to hypnotize his opponents. He said, “We had no choice, the club has struggled and there is nothing to say about it. It's difficult to win in the Nou Camp, and to beat Barcelona. The situation is complicated and you just have to get on with it. Messi is the best player I've seen, the Di Stefano of the 21st century. It was the universal Barcelona, number one, a great team.”
The 84-year-old Argentina International, Alfredo di Stefano, is ranked as ‘The most complete footballer in the history of football’ by many veteran players such as Pele, Luiz Suarez, John Charles, Diego Maradona and Sandro Mazzola.
The Bernabeu’s full back, Ramos, gave a diplomatic opinion, when asked about Messi-or-Ronaldo, and he gave the verdict in the favor of Portuguese stating that he is his team mate and that also depends upon person in question.
On the other hand, Argentinean ace bagged two consecutive Ballon d’ Or awards and is equivalent to Portuguese magician, thereby both scoring 24 goals so far. Ramos further said that Cristiano is an epic player but a humble one. He was addressing the media at Las Rozas, Spanish training camp, prior to his friendly international Wednesday’s clash against Columbia.
