00:00Obviously, Rodri has faced both footballers, some of them, well, some of them.

00:06Cristiano Ronaldo in his best moment with Real Madrid, which we talked about before the air began.

00:11And Leo Messi, perhaps, not with Pep Guardiola, but also a good Leo Messi.

00:15Of course, Luis Enrique's, right? The one with the treble in 2015, with Neymar, with Suárez.

00:20Another type of Messi, but faced both.

00:22He had the opportunity to play against Cristiano, then against Cristiano of United, which was not the same.

00:26But he's right, the merit of what Cristiano has achieved.

00:29With a talent, perhaps, minor, and there they are, the five Ballon d'Or, the four Ballon d'Or, the two Dibs,

00:34and the four UEFA players of the year, which is obviously a good collection of titles.

00:38But Messi's is superior.

00:40Eight Ballon d'Or.

00:42It's crazy.

00:43Six Ballon d'Or, an MVP, right? Like the best player in the FIFA World Cup.

00:50Exactly.

00:51Three Dibs, and one for the UEFA player of the year.

00:56Fernando Ceballos, I know you're clear about it, and you're with Rodri.

00:59No, what I don't understand is why we put Cristiano Ronaldo in this conversation.

01:03If we're talking about the best footballer in history, there are three.

01:07Put them in any order you want, for me it's Messi, but there are three.

01:11Messi, Pelé, Maradona.

01:13It's over.

01:15Then Cristiano could be in the top 5 or top 10.

01:20But to talk about the best in history, there are three.

01:23Then, I insist, put them in any order you want.

01:25For me, it's Messi for the time he spent in the elite, for everything he won,

01:32but also for the time he spent in the elite, being the best in the world.

01:36So Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't helped Leo Messi at all,

01:40in terms of that Brazilian enthusiasm?

01:43Yes, but that's the difference.

01:46Messi sits with Pelé, Maradona, and nothing else.

01:50Cristiano could sit with Kroos, Beckenbauer, Di Stéfano,

01:56with those from the second table.
