DBasia.news – Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp recently admitted he prefered Barcelona star, Lionel Messi over Juventus mainstay striker, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi vs Ronaldo is considered the greatest rivalry in football history. Over the past decade both footballers have dominated Ballon D’Or awards.

Klopp also spoke up on the matter. According to him, Ronaldo is a phenomenal player. But Messi is still above the Portuguese player.

“But Messi has physical requirements that are much shorter from birth. If you can describe yourself as a perfect player, it will have Ronaldo’s height, he can jump and run very fast. And what is added to it is his total attitude, he is truly perfect and professional, nothing is better. “

“And on the other hand there is a little Messi who makes everything look very simple. And because of that I like him maybe a little more as a player on the field. But Cristiano is also a truly extraordinary player.”

“Because it’s challenging, but what they both have is that they have left their footprints for a while. There are also some young players who have the same potential, but to do that during this period of time is extraordinary, “he concluded.

In total Messi and Ronaldo have met 35 times at the club and national team level. La Pulga won 16 wins and scored 22 goals, ahead of Ronaldo, who collected ten wins and 19 goals.
