FOOTBALL: Messi is more intelligent than C. Ronaldo - Xavi insinuates

Ex- Barca skipper Xavi claims his former team-mate is the better player as while Ronaldo can match anybody physically, the Argie’s football brain sets him apart.

He said: “Ronaldo is a goalscorer, and Messi is also a goalscorer.

“However, Messi is a much better team player than Ronaldo. I think Messi is the best footballer in the world.

“In football, there are two important elements — fitness and intelligence.

“Ronaldo is very fit but Messi has both the fitness as well as the intelligence, so simply put, he is better.”
