"Cristiano is a great player, but those who say he's better than Messi don't know anything about soccer or are saying it in bad faith," he told Corriere dello Sport.
So, what makes Messi so special? According to Van Basten, it's his uniqueness.
)
"He's impossible to imitate and impossible to repeat. A player like him appears every 50 or 100 years."
Van Basten, a three-time Ballon d'Or winner himself, knows a thing or two about soccer genius.
With 282 goals in 379 matches for Ajax and AC Milan, he's a legend of the sport. And let's not forget his impressive tally of 34 goals in 73 appearances for the Netherlands!
For many, Messi's World Cup win has tipped the scales in his favor. But, as we all know, this debate is far from over. In fact, it's a discussion that will likely continue for years to come. Where do you stand on the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate?
