"There’s only one that is a little stronger than me: Messi. All the othersare behind me." "For the good of football, please don't compare [Messi] to Man udt’s Number 7 [Ronaldo] again,"
"If we're talking statistically, they're the same, But as someone who played against both, I can say that, in my opinion, Messi is out of this world, embarrassing. You can never get the better of him.
"In terms of quality, Messi is better than everyone. I'm convinced that if you ask a defender if they would rather play against Messi or Ronaldo, they would have no doubts.I leave the statistics to journalists, but it's like comparing [Diego] Maradona and Pelé.
"Pele scored more goals than Maradona, but when Maradona touched the ball, he was something else."
