In case you didn’t know…

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the football landscape in the last decade, with the pair winning the Ballon d’Or award five times apiece. Both players have, therefore, often divided opinion among fans when it comes to picking the best player in this generation.

Indeed, while some prefer Messi, others also believe Ronaldo is the better player, as the debate continues to rumble on.

Although Vicente Del Bosque is yet to manager either player, the experienced coach has made his pick on which footballer is more talented.

The heart of the matter

Del Bosque described Ronaldo as an extraordinary goal scorer but believes Messi is more natural and has picked the Argentine as the superior player.

The former Real Madrid boss told Mundo Deportivo, as quoted by Goal:

Del Bosque was, however, quick to add that Real Madrid have missed Ronaldo since the Portuguese joined Juventus last summer.

What’s next?

Both Messi and Ronaldo will be in action over the weekend as Barcelona and Juventus take on Real Madrid and Napoli, respectively.
