Former Real Madrid and AC Milan star Kaka believes Lionel Messi is a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo.
This came as a surprise as the former Brazil international played with Ronaldo whilst at Los Blancos.
“I played with Cristiano and he’s really amazing, but I’ll go with Messi,” he said during a live Instagram Q&A, Goal.com reports.
“He’s a genius, a pure talent. The way he plays is incredible.”
Despite that, the former Milan maestro was no less effusive in his praise of the Juventus forward.
“Cristiano is a machine. It’s not just the way he’s strong, powerful and fast; he’s strong mentally.
“He always wants to win and play. To be the best. For me, that’s the most incredible thing he has.
“In the history of sport, they [Messi and Cristiano] are definitely in the top five. We are very lucky to have been able to see both of them.’
Amid the coronavirus crisis, Ronaldo has taken a pay cut of £3.45million, which, in line with the rest of his Juve team-mates, will help the Serie A giants save up to £100m from March until May.
Messi and his Barcelona team-mates have agreed a 70 per cent wage cut to help the club out during the difficult times.
