Pedro Mendes, former Portuguese international who played for clubs such as FC Porto, Sporting and Tottenham, gave an interview to British website OLBG on Friday, in which he discussed the 'eternal' debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
"I think we have witnessed the two best players of all time, in this sport, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. For years and years, they have competed at the highest level and done fantastic things, on the pitch. Both are incredible", began by saying the former midfielder, aged 45.
"The debate always focuses on who you like the most as a player. For me, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most complete player, he proved that he could conquer La Liga, Premier League and Serie A, and was the top scorer in all of them. For me, that is very important", he continued.
"Between him and Messi, Ronaldo wins the battle. Messi, of course, is a fantastic player, technically, but we only saw him play outside of Spain for two years, in France, more towards the end of his career, and, now, in the MLS", he added.
For Pedro Mendes, we did not get to know how the Argentinian international "would do in England, in the Premier League, where football is more aggressive, with more tackles, and where Cristiano Ronaldo did fantastically well".
"In this debate, there is a lot of controversy and opinion, but Cristiano Ronaldo is a more complete player than Messi", he concluded.
