Nope, it�s not a sudden dose of modesty for Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. Instead it�s his ever-expanding Brazilian namesake who has bestowed the honour upon Barcelona�s Lionel Messi.
In an interview with CNN World Sport, the two-time World Cup winner ďż˝ who played for both Real and Barca ďż˝ overlooked national rivalries to say he thought Messi was the better player.
Ronaldo said: �Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo without a doubt are the best players today. I give a preference to Messi, because he�s a player who fascinates us more, who shows more creativity. Even though he�s from Argentina, which has a big rivalry with Brazil! But he�s a player I admire a lot. �In fact, both of them. But I think Messi is a little above Cristiano Ronaldo.�
