#2 Henrik Larsson
Swedish legend Henrik Larsson had the benefit of playing with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi over a considerable span of his footballing career.
The forward played with Ronaldo at Manchester United and Messi at Barcelona.
While the former Celtic man joined Old Trafford on loan from Helsingborg in 2007, he played close by Messi in Barcelona somewhere in the range of 2004 and 2006.
When the question of picking the greatest among Ronaldo vs Messi was asked, Larsson made it quite clear, he said:
“I don’t think there’s too much difference between the two of them because they are both great players.”
“Cristiano is unlucky to be playing at the same time as Messi. Ronaldo is a very good player, but Messi is even better.”
“Messi has won the Ballon d’Or in the past few years, four years in a row to be more precise.”
“He is from out of this world. He’s so good that it’s almost incredible. When you see him with the ball at his feet it’s hard to believe that anybody else could do the same. He’s a fantastic player to see.”
For the next opinion of the best pick between the two, by a player who has worked with both the contemporary football legends, move on to the next page!
