The 37 year old Mumbai City FC marquee believes that the Portuguese superstar has fallen behind little Argentine when it comes to individual skill.
The former Manchester united player believes that Crisatiano Ronaldo is a perfect striker, but the Argentine is a mix of all, he can score the goals and also create chances for others and when it comes to individual skill the Catalan man is far ahead of him.
On the next week this year Ballon d’Or results will be out and yet again everyone is still in doubt in this year who will take the crown ?their eternal conflict is on again.{Ronaldo &Messi}.
Last six year the prestigious award has been shared between these two incredible players as the little argentine won it four times and the portuguess superstar has won it for two times, in 2007 the Brazilian midfielder Kaka won the trophy and for now then the trophy has gone on those two’s hand.
In this year Ronaldo is the favorite to win the Ballon d’Or award because in this year he led his country to the first ever Uefa Euro trophy and won the champions league with his club but Forlan thinks the as a whole he is not as good as Messi ,so he will face a tough competition this time also from the Argentine.
“There is one part of his game that I wish he would not have changed,” he wrote in The National.
“When I played with him and in his first years at Real Madrid, he used to go past players for fun, like Messi. Now he is more of a finisher, a killer in front of goal.
“Messi has that too, but he also has the ability to go past two or three players and change a game.”
