'Cristiano dominates this world, but Messi is better than everyone'

Messi, due to his failures in the most important competitions this season, namely the World Cup and Champions League, is not on the list of nominees for 'the Best' prize that Fifa gives the bets player of the season, but for attacking midfielder Boateng there is no debate as to who is better.

In comments made to 'SporX', the Sassuolo player complimented Ronaldo, who he names as the best example for young players who are setting out in football.

''For those who are starting in the game, CR7 should be their main role model. He has talent and always trains to the maximum. He works like mad and football is his passion. He will always be the best of all,'' he said of the Juventus striker.

However when pressed on who he would choose, Boateng said without doubt it would be Messi ''In this world Ronaldo is the best, but if there is anyone super human it is Messi.''

''He's unbelievable, he does things that no other player knows how to do. We say that Ronldo dominates this world, but Messi is better than anyone or anything else.''
