Jose Mourinho and the answer to which Ronaldo or Messi is greater?

Ronaldo Nazario and Cristiano Ronaldo: Who is better?

During the late 2000s, lasting until the early 2020s, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi created one of the greatest confrontations in football history. In particular, the time the two of them faced each other while playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona almost became a legendary period.

With a series of miracles that both sides have established, there have been many debates about who is the greatest player in history between Ronaldo and Messi. This controversy seems to have ended with Messi's World Cup win in 2022, but some of Ronaldo's loyal fans still have their own views.

For coach Jose Mourinho, he chose both when asked about who is the best player. The Portuguese strategist had a time as an opponent of both Ronaldo and Messi, and also led CR7 in the confrontation with the Argentine superstar.

He said: "It's both fortunate and unfortunate that they are in the same generation. They are lucky because they can compete with each other, look at each other in a positive way and use the other person as a driving force for their own development. If there is only one of them, that person will easily have 10 Golden Boots and will probably lose motivation.

They have set very high standards for the definition of greatness. There are next generation players who are facing pressure, as well as the motivation to rise up like Neymar, Mbappe, Griezmann. It's sad that the era of confrontation between Ronaldo and Messi will not last forever."

Jose Mourinho's statement when comparing Ronaldo and Messi

Although he always recognizes the great legacy of both Ronaldo and Messi, Jose Mourinho himself also has his own views on who is considered the most talented person he has ever seen in his entire career. That is Ronaldo (Brazil), the player called "Alien".

"Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have a great career, and they have maintained that greatness for more than 15 years. But if we seriously consider talent and skill, I think no one can surpass Ronaldo ( Brazil).

When I saw him (Ronaldo) play in Barcelona, I had to admit that he was the best person I had ever seen. Unfortunately, Ronaldo's career was marred by persistent injuries and was unable to maintain his peak. But what that 19-year-old boy did, it was an amazing thing."
