Frank Lampard considers Lionel Messi to be “the most incredible player” and his toughest opponent.
He told UEFA’s official website when asked to pick out the finest players he faced: “Can I give you two answers? It'll actually be three.
“The first one is Messi because he was the most incredible player – it was like you were playing against someone who's not on the same level as all of us.
“The two players I always remember having the hardest time against were Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta at Barcelona. They just played football around you, and you didn't get near them.
“It was football that wasn't normal to me; it was different from anything else I came up against.”

Ronaldo praise himself everyday how he did this and that, how he is as good as Messi but Leo never bothered or compare himself to Ronaldo because it will be an insult to him, he know his levels (Pele and Maradona) thanks to football legends who always tell us who the best is, no need to praise yourself allow others to praise you.

I am a true Messi fan because He is a genuine genius but I don’t criticize Ronald cus I know just like everyone that he is a good and great player that is why he is always compared to the best.,but sincerely speaking He praises himself while other legends praises Messi and that is enough to settle the scores.
