Former FC Barcelona midfielder makes his choice of the most debated comparison of football.
Former FC Barcelona midfielder makes his choice of the most debated comparison of football.

This discussion never stops, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still dominating the game and former Barcelona player Arthur told the media who are better. This year, none of them was the best, they could not be at Robert Lewandowski’s level in the Uefa Champions League.

The Brazilian midfielder evaluated that is much easier to play with Cristiano Ronaldo than with Lionel Messi. Apparently, the Portuguese is more accessible on the pitch as a teammate. He enjoys more playing at Juventus after he could not fit on FC Barcelona squad for a couple of years.

Was this the right decision? Arthur had all the qualities to play for the Spanish team, but the moment was not the same, he suffered Barcelona’s crisis and ended up in Italy. The main problem about the team is that is built up around Messi and that does not happen in Juventus because CR7 plays as a striker.

The physical capabilities of Ronaldo make him really easy to play with. Besides, Arthur claimed that Cristiano talks more during the game and he trains like an animal. Does that means that Messi is not a leader in FC Barcelona? Definitely, at least for the Brazilian.
