Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic talked about two football talents Messi and Ronaldo in an interview, he said these two are at the same level for many years but his son prefers Cristiano.

"If you ask my son, Cristiano," he laughed.
"They are different. Ronaldo, of course, he has talent, but most of his success he made because of his hard work.
"Messi is talented. I'm not saying that he didn't work, for sure he worked, but they are different.
"For me it's hard to say who is the best. I think over the last 15 years they are both the best.
"Some people may say Messi, some Cristiano, but for me they are at the same level for 15 years.
"What they are doing is very hard, to keep that level for 15 years, it's not easy to be the best.
"I don't know who is better from those two players, but I am sure both of them are maybe the best players in football history."

I am happy to hear someone praise both Messi and Ronaldo at the same time. Two goats from another planet and irreplacable ones.

That's how a fellow player should talk without being jealous or envy...mature man talking.

it's an argument that can go on forever who is better Ronaldo or Messi, and there is no answer it really just depends who you prefer, both of these players have done things and are still doing things in football that you may never see again, these 2 players are have elevated each other and the game itself. for me I really dont care who is better I'm just enjoying watching these guys play and I suggest you all do the same stop wasting your time arguing who is better and just enjoy watching these 2 icons play the game, because you wont see another messi or Ronaldo ever again and what we're all witnessing right now is history being written
