MESSI AND RONALDO: PAUL SCHOLES DECLARES WHO IS BETTER

Messi and Ronaldo controversy has forced legendary footballer, Paul Scholes to declare his choice on who is the better football player.

The 45-year-old Manchester United legend who shared the pitch with both Messi and Ronaldo also played alongside Ronaldo during the superstar’s brilliant six years at the Old Trafford.

However, the former England international rates Barcelona captain Lionel Messi above Christiano Ronaldo and many other football greats like Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Andrea Pirlo and Xavi.

Scholes said Messi is better that many other great footballers of the era. “I think about the great players with whom I have shared a pitch: Eric Cantona, Zinedine Zidane, Pirlo, Xavi, Cristiano Ronaldo and the greatest of them all is Messi,” Scholes wrote.

Scholes, who is regarded as one of the best midfielders of all time, played four times against Messi in his brilliant career. He spent his entire professional playing career with Manchester United, for whom he scored over 150 goals in more than 700 appearances between 1993 and 2013.

His brilliant verdict on the Messi and Ronaldo controversy would go a long way in ending the conversation.

He particularly holds fond memories of his encounter with the Argentine during the second leg of a Champions League semi-final match against Barcelona at Old Trafford in 2008.

Scholes revealed that he had fouled Messi but was lucky to have escaped the referee’s axe in a very crucial match, and Messi too never made a fuss of the encounter.

KING CR7 THE GREAT

thats his opinion bt its too funny that its coming from a legend in man.u dt have shared dressing room with cr7, knows cr7 more than you and still rates messi ahead while you dts jus watching cr7 on t.v is thinking otherwise...

Cr7 is like trump... he is the one people love to hate...but can't do without him...he is exactly what almost every man wants to b... they hate him on the outside , but love him on the inside like trump... most people are scared of saying the truth because of sentiments... they feel supporting ronaldo or trump automatically means they are arrogant... but still, Ronaldo is the most followed human being on Instagram.... just like trump won the elections... if there is a hidden vote between the 2, even barca president and Argentina fa president will secretly vote Ronaldo... messi will b surprised like hilary in 2016... most people are always scared of saying the truth
