Former Real Madrid icon Fernando Hierro is happy to have not coincided with Leo Messi during his playing career.
The Spaniard feels that the Argentine has been unstoppable throughout his career and is glad to have avoided him on the pitch.
"I consider myself privileged not to have played against Leo Messi," he told Radio Continental.
"Maradona was my idol during my childhood.
"What Messi has been doing in the last 15 years is something out of the ordinary," Hierro added.

That's for you not for everyone. See the people who are fans for CR7 or feel he is the goat are not paid for it. They like him hence they feel he is the best. We can have difference in opinion but it's fine you like someone else then I do. Don't need to force your thoughts. The simple point is if you love one legend don't hate the other one. Simple.
Be strong my dear. Please dont cry
