“For obvious reasons you know I played against him when he was at PSG and I was at Manchester City in my first season, so it was a pleasure just to be on the same pitch as him. Messi or Ronaldo? Messi."

The Englishman said he was glad to be on the same pitch as the Argentine star, whom he preferred above his Portuguese rival.

Both players have won multiple trophies and are among the best to have ever played the beautiful game.
