Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman said he refused to compare his captain Lionel Messi to Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo and pointed to the need to enjoy their match on Tuesday night. And that in the press conference before facing Juventus.
“It’s great that the players have been on top of the world for a long time,” Koman said.
“They are the best players in the world in my opinion, in the last 10 to 15 years, they have been successful for so long, which is incredible,” he said.
“They are different, but they have incredible statistics in terms of goals, hat-trick and winning individual and collective titles,” he added.
“It’s not nice to say who is the best between them, because they are both wonderful.”
“I like them both because they gave us many wonderful evenings full of goals and titles, so we hope we can enjoy their presence tomorrow night,” he said.
Barcelona are preparing to face Juventus on the last day of the Champions League group stage on Tuesday night at 10pm.
Barcelona and Juventus have qualified for round 16 of the Champions League, as Barcelona leads the group with 15 points, followed by Juventus with 12 points, against one point for Dynamo Kiev and the same for Frenkvarrozi.
This is the first meeting between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, since their first outing for Juventus in the summer of 2018.
