Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Ghana International, Kevin-Prince Boateng, has come up with his side of the debate on who is the greatest footballer of all times between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

The Messi vs Ronaldo debate has raged for years and there seems to be no answer for it yet.<\/p>\n

Boateng pointed out that while Ronaldo dominates the world, Messi is not from this planet.<\/p>\n

He said that young footballers, who want to be great in their career should emulate Cristiano.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor young people who are football players, Ronaldo should be the best in the world,\u201d he told SPOX.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is the best example to look at because he trains to the fullest and has talent. He works like a madman, he is passionate with everything he does and about football.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always wants to be the best. He always wants to be first in everything, so, for a player who is just starting, the one to look at should be him because he is perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boateng then goes on to say Messi \u2018transcends\u2019 the world with his ability and is \u2018above everything else.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cRonaldo makes all of this happen in this world, but only in this world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn what transcends this world, the best is Messi, because he is incredible, he does things that nobody can do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not see him in this world. Ronaldo dominates this world and Messi is above everything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Messi and Ronaldo shocked football fans last summer when both superstars suddenly left their respective clubs to take up new challenges.<\/p>\n

While Messi dumped Barcelona over financial issues, Ronaldo departed Juventus and made a shocking return to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo has since settled at Old Trafford, scoring 8 times after 19 Premier League match days.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese is currently the number 8 scorer in the Premier League so far with a conversion rate for shots to goals of 42.86.<\/p>\n
