#4 Angel di Maria
Former Manchester United man Angel Di Maria is another player who has the privilege to play close by Ronaldo and Messi.
The Argentine had seen Ronaldo at work amid his four-year spell at Real Madrid. He has additionally scoured shoulders with kinsman Lionel Messi in an Argentina shirt.
When asked to pick the better one among the two, Di Maria said in an interview to TyC Sports programme Líbero:
“Cristiano is an excellent player. Being around at the same time as Messi has made it much more difficult for him’
“There are no words to describe Leo. He will always surprise you. One year on and Messi is the best, another year goes by and he’s still the best; he’s a player from another planet – an extra-terrestrial”.
In another interview he had the following to say about Messi:
“One of the best in the world. Playing with him and being his friend is everything to me. Defending the national colours for Argentina with a player like him… words can’t describe it”.
About Ronaldo Di Maria said: “We shared many things together. He’s a wonderful person, very different from what you see on the pitch. He wants to win everything, score goals. It pains him when he doesn’t score and the team don’t win”.
