Former Liverpool, Tottenham and Stoke striker Peter Crouch said in an interview with the 'Daily Mail' that Cristiano Ronaldo, during his team at Man Utd, responded to teammates who said to him that Messi was better. "Yes, but Messi is not as handsome."

Cristiano Ronaldo's future is still unknown. Despite the fact he is looking closer to staying at Juventus for another season, nothing can be ruled out with the Portuguese footballer. 

Aside from that, Peter Crouch spoke about the Portuguese in an interview with the 'Daily Mail'. Despite having never been with Ronaldo in a dressing room, the lean striker had teammates who did and told him things about Ronaldo. 

"I had a conversation with the United player and I always asked them how Ronaldo was. They explained to me that they always mocked him by saying that Messi was better. But Cristiano replied 'Yes, but Messi isn't as handsome'. The truth is that he boasted about being much more handsome than the Argentine", Crouch revealed. 

During the time CR7 was at Man Utd was when the Portuguese's battle with Messi began. The fight to be considered the best player in the world still continues as of today.
