"Ronaldo has excelled in 3 leagues and Messi has huffed and puffed in France"

Leo Messi is now fully adapted to Ligue 1 and it is showing this season. Gone is the Argentine's version of last season, when he was far from his best form.

Meanwhile, Cristiano is experiencing the worst season of his career in his second consecutive year at Manchester United. Coach Ten Hag is not counting on him and his role has dropped to the bench. Graeme Souness weighed in on the debate of who is better.

The Liverpool legend spoke to 'TalkSport' about the Argentinian and the Portuguese, but the former Scotland midfielder made it clear he prefers the PSG attacker: "I've always gone for Messi. Those two are the two best in history. I played against Maradona, but longevity comes into it".

"Ronaldo has excelled in the big leagues. Messi has huffed and puffed in France and obviously he's done in Spain and the Champions League. But Cristiano's done it in three leagues now. Spain, Italy and England, whereas Messi, OK he's having a good year this year, but he's only really done it in Spain," he said.
