'I'd pick Messi over Ronaldo'

"I'd go with Messi. Ronaldo has been sensationally good, profesional and a remarkable goal machine for years. But Messi, in my opinion, is the more complete player," said the German national team coach in an interview with 'Bild' when asked who he'd like most in the 'Mannschaft.'

Joachim Low then went on to expand on his decision: "Messi is a great team player. Every season, for the last 10 years, he's given between 30 and 40 assists and scored around 50 goals. His style of football is spectacular too."

Although Germany ultimately edged Argentina in the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil, Low didn't forget the ability of Barcelona's maestro: "He's capable of leaving eight or nine player in his path and his goals always stick in your memory."

Furthermore, the German decided to offer a few words on Liverpool's 'Egyptian King,' Mohamed Salah: "He's not only a great goalscorer but a really good player too. Liverpool and Klopp have a lot to thank Salah for, he's had an exceptional year. This year there are very few players who have made the difference on as many occasions as Salah."
