The following is not from another source, but my own writing.
Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo[change | change source]
Messi has stated that he does not hate Cristiano Ronaldo.[1] Don't get beefy in the talk page for this user page.
Intellect[change | change source]
I saw somewhere that with Messi, he is intelligent and passes to other players, while Cristiano Ronaldo likes to keep the ball and seem a bit selfish.[1]
Messi and Neymar[change | change source]
Messi and Neymar are magical together. Wherever there is Barcelona, there is Messi-Neymar magic. It's amazing to see them play in a world class team.
