 Wayne Rooney claims that Lionel Messi is a step above the "incredible" Cristiano Ronaldo, as the Barcelona icon Will hurt you until he destroys you. Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo tormented the defenses throughout their tenure as partners on an impressive Manchester United side until Portugal entered Real Madrid in 2009.

 Both enjoyed a total of five seasons together at Old Trafford, a spell that won three Premier League championships and the Champions League at 2007-8, a achievement that secured Ronaldo's first Ballon d'Or.

Ronaldo and Messi went on to win the prize an unprecedented 11 times between them, with Luka Modric the only other player to win the prize since 2007.

 Yet ex-England captain finds Messi, holder of the Ballon d'Or on six occasions, to be a move beyond his pal and ex-team-mate and the greatest on the world.

 The skipper of Derby County wrote in his Sunday Times column that Ronaldo wasn't as focused on scoring as we began to play together, but you could see that what he desired was to be the greatest player in the world.

 He worked and worked and started to deliver. Cristiano has been an outstanding performer, and he and Messi are undoubtedly the greatest two stars the game has ever had.

 Yet in light of my relationship with Cristiano, I should have gone to Messi. It's for the same cause that I liked seeing Xavi and Paul: the various stuff in Messi's game.

 He went on to clarify that he thinks Messi's innate ability gives him the advantage over Cristiano, which he also points out as dangerous in front of the net.

 I was thinking about calm, so I can't recall watching Messi strike as he struck the ball as strongly as he could. He only rolls them in, makes it so quick, he said.
Ronaldo is ruthless in the case, a killer. Yet Messi is going to torment you until he destroys you. For Messi, you just get the feeling that he's having more fun.
They've totally changed the landscape in terms of goal score statistics, so I don't believe they're ever going to be compared.

 Rooney's Derby County was in 12th position in the Championship before the competition was postponed owing to the coronavirus epidemic, but the Rams are now within touching reach of the play-offs, behind Preston by only five points with nine games to go.
