Cristiano Ronaldo is not a “Galactico” like Lionel Messi, says Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, with Barcelona’s talismanic captain “on a different level to anyone else”.
Two iconic figures have spent over a decade competing for a standing at the top of the global game.
They have shared 10 Ballons d’Or between them and broken countless records while raising the bar of individual excellence to heights never seen before.
For Gundogan, though, there is only one winner, with the mercurial talents of Messi considered to sit above a fellow superstar who is merely “world class”.
The Germany international told DAZN of the Argentine forward: “For me he has always been on a different level to anyone else.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is the world class player after Messi, but for me he is not on this Galactico level of Messi.
“I don't think we'll ever get a player like him again, so we should watch him and enjoy him while he's still here. I'm a big fan.”

Four Football Irony; Between Ronaldo and Messi • Ronaldo has more speed than Messi, but Lionel Messi is faster with the ball at his feet. • Ronaldo is more physically fit than Leo Messi, but he falls at the slightest contact while Messi can burst through tons of defenders without falling. • Ronaldo has more shot power than Messi, but Lionel Messi has scored the highest number of goals from outside the box. • They call Ronaldo 'Goal machine' but Messi has the highest number of goals in a single year 91. Ronaldo's highest 63.

Both of them are great players. they contribute more than any other players ... but honestly, when it comes to big games, CR7 always delivered more than M10... do you think is an easy thing to change league and still be the top scorer??? it was after CR7 have left Spain that Messi started to deliver once again as he used to... when CR7 was playing in Spain, Messi couldn't cope with him until he left for Juventus... Aside from dribbling skills, Messi can't be comper to CR7. Say it as it should be... the only thing that makes people to like Messi is his quietness... CR7 on the other ✋ like to talk even if you hate him, he doesn't care and that is what makes me his number fan...

How many long shot goals did Messi scored compared to Ronaldo 100+ headers 100+left foot 100+ right foot, over the year's Ronaldo gain muscle but Messi is a small man it is always difficult for a defender naturally to catch or tackle a small guy. And who said we have never seen a player like Messi before there are many Messi but did the world witnessed a player like Ronaldo, Messi scored that freekick against Liverpool. he scored and became the best my foot, cr7 has-been scoring since his Manchester United day's. if played for Rm from beginning he could have been miles better than Messi . To barka dog's stop comparing Ronaldo and Messi they both have different playstyle

theres two type of football fans as there is two types of music fans , the fans that love cr7 love the muscles, the hard work , the stats , the trophies ,the car he bought the girl hes with at the time, his goal against juve , his hatric against atletico and things like this the fan of leo loves integrity, poetry ,the love in his eyes for the game , his waltz with the ball, the love for his team mates and for his club the loyalty to his club and wife .on conclusion one fan loves a star and the other loves a genius. you can enjoy both, but who ever doesn't see the difference I feel sorry for ,they're missing out on the greatest human (?) to play the game

you guys don't you know that mess is the only player who scored many goal against the England top six team despite he is not playing in English premier league for my side sure messi is incredible better than CR7 and I wonder people complain about messi that he is a one club player so do you think for this fact even Pele is not the best player in football history because Pele spent his football career only at Santos for sure playing in different league is not reason for some one to be is the best and when we consider this fact even ibrahimovic is the best than CR7 because he played many league than CR7

Ferguson was ronaldos former coach and mentor ..it's like guardiola or valverde praising Messi 😂😂😂 actually his statement is utter nonsense ..Ronaldo is a box player , he needs world class players around to create and feed him ..Messi can both score and create !!!

I am a cr7 fan, will go wherever he goes but this time Messi is something else. He is on his own world. undeniably the best.

And maybe their stats. It’s becoming clearer and clearer Messi is a better goal scorer and more well rounded as he has more assists.
