When Wayne Rooney compared Cristiano Ronaldo and PSG superstar Lionel Messi
Rooney was Ronaldo's partner in attack when the two played together for Manchester United. However, in a chat with The Times in 2020, the former Everton attacker picked current PSG superstar Lionel Messi over the Portuguese.
Rooney justified his pick, stating that Ronaldo is more lethal as a finisher. However, he claimed Messi has a greater impact on the game and said (via Mirror):
"Despite my friendship with Cristiano, I'd go for Messi. Ronaldo is ruthless in the box, a killer. But Messi will torture you before he kills you, With Messi, you just get the impression he is having more fun."
"Those two have completely changed the game in terms of goal-scoring numbers, and I don't think they'll ever be matched."
Rooney and Ronaldo's current relationship is nowhere near where it used to be and the Englishman has criticized Ronaldo publicly in recent times.
The Portuguese didn't take that well and had some choice words for Rooney in the recent interview with Piers Morgan. Ronaldo said of his former teammate:
"I don’t know why he criticizes me so badly... probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at a high level. I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true...”
