Gerard Pique, a Barcelona's defender has admitted that Ronaldo is better than his striker mate, Lionel Messi.
Pique and Ronaldo were used to play together with Manchester United few years ago, and at that time, he knew Ronaldo very well.
"The advantage during battles with Real Madrid is that I know all the tricks from Cristiano Ronaldo" said Pique in the new edition of Voetbal International. "In Manchester I was on the training ground every day in front of him. All this knowledge makes you understand that as a footballer, Cristiano is so complete."
"Actually, he's more complete than Lionel Messi. He's fast, has a good shot and is strong in the air. Everyone calls Cristiano arrogant, but he's not. I've known him as friendly and humorous person. Yes, he has trouble in some levels, but he's a good boy, "said the 23-year-old Pique.
It's very rare for Barcelona's player to praise Ronaldo more than their icon, Messi. But it's good to hear one of them speaking the truth.
Hmmm....I wonder on how Messi is going to react hearing his statement.
