23-year-old
Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey has expressed his opinion on the
age-long Ronaldo-Messi debate. He told ESPN: "I think he [Messi] has
been at one club for too long.
"The
big difference between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi is Cristiano Ronaldo has
done great things in different teams and that's what makes him great.
"Obviously
they are two great players but Ronaldo will always have that upper hand."
Bailey
believes Messi is more talented but votes Ronaldo as being more successful.
"I
believe Messi is more talented when it comes to [pure] talent than
Cristiano," Bailey explained.
"But
when it comes to more success, I would give that to Ronaldo 100 times."
36-year-old
Ronaldo has won the Champions League 5 times, and Messi - four. But Messi
has won more league campaigns on the other hand: 10 La Liga triumphs compared
to Ronaldo's seven league titles.
In
terms of Ballon d'Or awards, Messi has six and Ronaldo, five.
