Ronaldo has named Lionel Messi as his favourite player to watch - but omitted Lionel Messi. Barcelona legend Messi and Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo have been battling it out to be named the world's best player over the last decade.

Messi currently has one more Ballon d’Or award (six) to his rival at present, that has seen football fans across the world enjoy debate over the pair.

But there’s no doubt in Brazil legend Ronaldo’s mind. "Messi, of course, he is number one, it is a talent that we will take 20 or 30 years to see something similar," Ronaldo said when asked to name his favourite five players to watch.
