Carvajal gives brilliant answer to end Messi-Ronaldo debate

"Messi or Cristiano? They're on the same level," Dani Carvajal said in a podcast.

"I don't prefer one over the other. They're different. Messi can go down to receive the ball and create an attack, contribute to the build-up and create more football.

"Cristiano is a monster at scoring goals, attacking the area and finishing," the defender concluded.

The age-long debate on who is better between Ronaldo and Messi has continued despite both players being well in the twilight of their careers and leaving Europe.

However, it is without question both Ronaldo and Messi have etched their name in the ancient walls of football folklore forever. It was perfectly alright to see them both as being on the same level.
