November 18th German legend Matthaus recently answered the "classic question" in football-Messi or Ronaldo? He also talked about his relationship with Maradona.
Matthaus said: "Diego is the best player of our generation, of course, he is second only to me! We have a football friendship. We were like Messi and Ronaldo now. This competition made them great players. Diego and I were rivals on the court, and we fought for our respective teams and countries. Diego made me stronger, and vice versa. We have a relationship of mutual achievement.
"Messi or Ronaldo? I am a fan of Messi because I like his style. I don't want to say Messi is better than Ronaldo because their styles are different. Ronaldo is more powerful and physically stronger; Messi plays smarter.
"If the brilliance of Ronaldo lies in the moments of inspiration, then the brilliance of Messi is endless. Because of this, I prefer Messi. In the past 15 years, Messi has had a greater impact on football. If I have the opportunity to play alongside one of them, then I will definitely choose the Argentine master."
