Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are seen as two of the greatest footballers to have played the game and a constant debate rages over who has been the better player over the years.

Barcelona star Pique admits he prefers Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo

Barcelona center-back Gerard Pique has voiced his views on the matter. The 33-year old admitted that he prefers his Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pique, who played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United, stated in an interview to BT Sport that both players were amazing.

However, the Spain international was effusive in his praise for his Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi.

Pique spent a short time playing with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United when the Portugal international was establishing himself as one of the best in the world. The center-back was appreciative of his former teammate as well, who went on to play for Barcelona’s arch-rivals, Real Madrid.

The Spaniard player ultimately concluded by opining that Lionel Messi was not human.

Barcelona have struggled in recent months. The problem was exacerbated in the summer when Lionel Messi announced his decision to leave the club. While a move failed to occur, the Argentine superstar has only one year left in his contract and can leave on a free transfer next summer.
