There are ultimately not that many of them to have played alongside both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi during their careers. This is for example the case of Gerard Piqué who first crossed paths with “CR7” when he played for Manchester United, before finding “la Pulga” for several years with FC Barcelona. In his capacity as a privileged witness, he was invited to decide between the two stars. And for him, there is no photo.
In an interview published on Saturday by Marcathe former Blaugrana central defender voted for Lionel Messi. And for him it’s simple, the eight-time Ballon d’Or and Cristiano Ronaldo are not from the same world. “Messi has always been different from the others. Cristiano is the best human, but Leo is an alien. He doesn’t belong on this planet. »
For Gerard Piqué, the two football monsters of the last two decades can therefore be separated without difficulty.
An unrivaled view
Now retired, the former Spanish La Roja player added a few words about Lionel Messi. “I saw him train every day doing incredible things. There will never be anyone with his quick thinking and the same determination again. He arrived at the age of thirteen, he played exactly the same way with the Barça youth team and in the first team. »
Consistency and regularity at a stratospheric level according to Piqué, which have therefore made Lionel Messi the number one player in the minds of many players and supporters.
