The debate keeps raging on who the better player is between both superstars, and Pele, who is widely regarded as the best footballer ever, has spoken on the issue, saying he would choose Messi over Ronaldo but admits it is disappointing to pick from just the two players in an interview with SporTV.

Throughout their careers Barcelona's Messi has been compared to Real Madrid's Ronaldo.
Pele, who won the World Cup three times, told SporTV: “It's sad that you have only two players in the world to choose from.

“I would still stay with Messi. Scoring is important, no doubt, but if you do not have anyone to prepare, then the ball is not enough. For my team I prefer Messi.

“As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he's a great goalscorer.
“Ronaldo's been able to score goals, while you see Messi creating goals and directing the play, as well as scoring.
“Ronaldo's a great goalscorer but in terms of the complete player, there's no doubt that Messi is the best.”
That is Pele's view, but I still think Ronaldo is the most complete player, he's the king of Europe!
I'm sure you don't wanna meet with him in any finals .jpeg)
