The retired veteran has taken out time to voice his opinion regarding the two great athletes, suggesting that both are impossible to separate in terms of talent.
Former Real Madrid player, Luis Figo, has commented about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, asserting that the two players are identical in terms of skill and ability.
The retired footballer had the opportunity of representing both Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, during his career. Hence, keeping in mind the constant comparisons between Messi and Ronaldo, it is only fair that Figo voiced his opinion regarding
the two as well.
According to the former Portuguese international, it is not possible to compare the two starlets as one of them cannot be classified as better than the other. He also stressed that the two players are equal in terms of preference as well as anyone would
want both players to be part of a team instead of having just one.
This is not the first time that the two footballers have been compared to one another. However, Figo is one of the few professionals who have chosen to side both players instead of rating one over the other.
While talking to reporters, the legendary footballer was quoted as saying:
"I think you cannot compare the two [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 and Messi] at the moment. Comparison at this level is always bad because one has to win and the other has to lose. We have to take the best of both. If you’re picking a team, you’d like to have them both in it
because they guarantee talent, quality and goals, of course.
The Portuguese national then went on to state that Messi and Ronaldo are both players who play a different brand of football and differ completely in terms of technique.
"You cannot compare them, because according to me they are totally different football players and they play in totally different systems in the teams. They are two of the best football players right now. The difference between now and then was that during
my time, there were a number of good players to choose from so this sort of question was not asked a lot then,” he added.
