Barcelona’s Gerard Pique was recently interviewed by former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand for BT Sport Europe. The Blaugrana centre-back analysed the Argentine and Portuguese attackers, doing his best to compare the two players.
Messi’s talent and speed”Messi has a talent that no one else has.
He has brutal speed with the ball at his feet and you are not running more than two metres.
It is impossible to pick it up.”Cristiano is very complete”Cristiano Ronaldo is very different.
He is tall, strong and powerful.
He is very complete and can do it all; score penalties, free-kicks, headers and he is good in one against one situations.
The verdict “Both Messi and Cristiano are very impressive.
We are speaking about the two best players not only in our time but in the whole history.
I always say that Messi is not human and Cristiano is the best of the rest.”
