13 March, 2021
After both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were knocked out of your UEFA Champions League this week, the longstanding debate as to who the better player is between them has been raised again.
For the very first time in 15 years, neither of both superstars will be offering in the Champions League quarter-finals this year.
Their exits from your competition has taken up the Ronaldo-Messi debate once more, with former Real Madrid boss Fabio Capello heaping praise on the latter and how he played against Paris Saint-Germain this week.
"The Leo we saw against PSG is a good phenomenon that was simply stopped by Marquinhos and Keylor Navas," he told Sky Sport.
"Nonetheless, he's a distinctive footballer. He showed once again that he has something different players don't and that he is an absolute genius.
"Other players may win the Ballon d'Or - just like Cristiano Ronaldo - but Messi is going to be a genius due to the items he does with such quickness and quality that others can't also compute.
"He uses his feet like others make use of their hands.
"Against PSG, I saw an excellent Messi and an excellent Barcelona side."
