Ronaldo could play for millwall, qpr, doncaster rovers or anyone and he'd score a hat-trick. i'm not sure messi could do it. ronaldo's got two feet, he's quick, he's good in the air and he's brave, though messi's brave too of course. i just think messi is a barcelona player.

Every time he plays, leo messi reminds me more of maradona, both left-footed and short, messi is the best player in the world, along with kaká and cristiano ronaldo. for us it is not a surprise. since he began to come and train with us and we knew we would go down this path. someday i will explain that i was at the birth of one of the footballing greats: leo messi.

I think the greatest real madrid player of all time is cristiano ronaldo followed by ferenc puskas. ronaldo equalled puskas’ great record of 242 goals in fewer games. he was also the fastest real madrid player to score 100 goals and holds the record for most goals scored for madrid in a season.

Ronaldo was my hero. i loved watching players like zidane, ronaldinho and rivaldo, but ronaldo was the best striker i've ever seen. he was so fast he could score from nothing and could shoot the ball better than anyone i've ever seen.

Critics have always questioned whether players like pele from the 50s could play today. lionel messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could di stefano, pele, maradona, cruyff because they are all great players. lionel messi without question fits into that category.

Messi is the best in the world. cristiano is a goalscorer. messi is more taltented, more complete, tactically and footballwise. cristiano isn't doing those runs anymore like at united. messi takes more part in the game, i'd always prefer him in my team.

Captain fantastic touches on that [division]. you meet this family that lives off the grid in the woods and you go, "oh, it's some kind of liberal utopian fantasy. the enemy is gonna be all these conservative types that they'll probably run into, and that's going to be the story."

Every donald trump person that i've talked to - everyone from every walk of life - has said pretty much the same thing. if trump has to work with democrats to get some of what he wants done, so be it. i haven't run into anybody... now, and this is purely anecdotal, and i don't talk to a lot of people.

We should not anticipate that every time countries come together that we are doing some revolutionary thing. instead of hitting home runs, sometimes we're going to hit singles.
