These are the madridistas that yes see to Messi like the best

In the last hours, and shortly after that Xavi Hernández ensured in an interview that only the followers of the Real Madrid see to Cristiano Ronaldo like the best of the world, "MD" has published an article that collects statements of ex footballers illustrate of the club merengue, in which said characters also plant to Leo Messi above the Portuguese player.

In spite of that some of them retractaron months or years afterwards -can that by the pressure of the fans of the Real Madrid or of the own club-, the true is that Zidane, Gave Stéfano, Iron or Raúl are some of the a lot of ex players illustrate that they have valued as it deserves to Leo Messi, always above a Christian Ronaldo that it does not arrive to the level of the Argentinian.

"Messi is the best of the world, his football is spectacular and does not have rival"

"Have the luck to have player with Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Cristiano... But Messi is very different. It does that all seem easy, until the impossible. You see him play and is as if it was in the street playing with friends. Incredible", explained Raúl González in an interview conceded to "Sports Illustrated" in 2015, that then seeded the controversy in the Real Madrid.

In April of 2011, Alfredo Gave Stéfano also there was elogiado to his compatriot: "Messi is the best of the world, his football is spectacular, besides is an example of professionalism, does not have rival", commented, although in 2013 changed his version in "Channel ", in full fight by the Balloon of Gold between Messi and Cristiano. "Messi is a big player, but does not arrive to the atura of Cristiano Ronaldo. So my vote by the Balloon of Gold would be for Cristiano... Always it is necessary to sweep for house, although it did not be to say it".

"To the football did him fault a player like Messi. It does not have the same"

This is what said Jorge Valdano in February of 2016 to "MD": "Messi is a genius, was born with a natural advantage. Ronaldo is a player that aspires evermore to perfection and in improving year after year. And the day that Messi sleeps Christian removes him the Balloon of Gold, training like a marine".

To José Antonio Camacho did not do him fault so many words: "What fails him to Christian is that it exists Messi", said the ex seleccionador Spanish, whereas Fernando Iron ensalzó -almost without wanting to- to Messi above Cristiano. "Competing against a player of the category of Messi, Cristiano has attained three Balloons of Gold", signalled does only some months.

But the assessment more mediática was the one of Zinedine Zidane in 2012, something of what a lot of agree but that anybody comments at present in the Real Madrid. "The Balloon of Gold has to be for Messi, is a player out of series, does not have the same although they want to compare it, since what does in the field of game does it simple. To the football did him fault a player like Messi", explained then the now technical merengue.
