You suspect that football fans will never reach an agreement over who was the better player out of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi - even after they’ve both long retired.This debate has been raging on for the best part of ten years now and we’re still no closer to reaching a firm conclusion.In fact, there seem to be more arguments now than ever before. After Ronaldo recently equalled Messi’s record of Ballon d’Or triumphs - they now have five each - there’s almost a 50/50 split when people are asked which of the two superstars is the best.We all have our own opinions, at the end of the day.But for those on the fence, Messi is probably a little easier to warm to because he doesn’t shout from the rooftops that he’s the world’s best footballer - unlike Cristiano.In an interview with France Football earlier this month, the 32-year-old not only told the world that he’s the best player on the planet. He also told us that, in his eyes, he’s the greatest footballer of all time.“I don’t see anyone better than me,” the modest Portugal international said. “No player does things that I cannot do myself, but I see things others can’t do.

“There’s no more complete player than me. I’m the best player in history — in the good and the bad moments.”

These comments were like a red rag to a bull for Barcelona supporters and those who prefer Messi.

Messi got the bragging rights in Saturday's Clasico

It was Messi who prevailed when Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-0 at the Bernabeu last Saturday.

The Argentina international scored Barça second goal of the match and provided an assist - even though he was only wearing one boot! - for Aleix Vidal to add gloss to the scoreline in stoppage time.
