Ruud van Nistelrooy has dismissed the reports claiming that he said 'nobody comes close to Lionel Messi'.
There was an earlier report from ESPN and AS, stating that Van Nistelrooy considered Messi as the best player in the world.
However, the former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo himself has dismissed the report on Twitter.
"Never said that," with the original quote from ESPN.
Soon afterwards, he deleted his tweet above before posting another.
"Thanks for removing the quote AS and espn fc. Let's enjoy watching Cristiano and Leo while we can!" said the Man Utd legend.

There is a campaign going on for Messi with All football. Notice all the positive news about messi published yet we can't see a news or statistic about VVD published to help his balon d or cause. Need I mention the tape allegation news about CR7 resurfacing again in the balon d or time. This prove my long suspicion that All football is supporting Messi. I knew it.
first get some brain and think outside allfootball...... article on this was first posted by ESPN not by all football...... just like other like other articles.... they are posted by other websites.... allfootball just copies it! its not about being favourable to messi.... these news are actually out there and not made up by all football

All football takes responsibility for all the articles they post or composed. Just like a Barcelona dog to cry foul when it benefits them like in the Copa America with messi but now there is no conspiracy with All football because it concerns VVD and Ronaldo.

Barca has the most immature and very insecure fans in the world, stop campaigning for Messi we see everything, we know he is gifted and the most talented, we respect him a lot , fight all you want , but history would always remember whoever won trophies with there national teams, Messi needs to do that... you can’t leave all stones unturned , you say he is the goat??? He won’t argue anymore , your goat should win with his country, stop making excuses ,Copa America ??? You keep bringing his finals , yes that was good, but did he win?? All the top 5 greatest of all time , have one thing in common.... they have an international trophy... Messi deserves better than his fans , y’all are too immature
