Lionel Messi has been branded an “alien without emotions” by Paolo Di Canio, who insists Cristiano Ronaldo is the better player.
The Manchester United superstar has of course been in direct competition with Messi for over a decade, with the pair part of a constant debate over who is the greater player. Both players regularly went head to head during their time in Spain, although both have now left Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
Having made their exits from La Liga though, they have endured differing fortunes this season. While Ronaldo has continued his remarkable scoring feats at Old Trafford, Messi has struggled since joining Paris Saint-Germain.
