Neymar: I'd rather have Messi's left foot than Ronaldo's right
Barcelona star Neymar would rather have Lionel Messi's left leg than Cristiano Ronaldo's right.
Neymar has joked he would rather have Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi's left leg than Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo's right.
In a lighthearted exchange with UOL's Mauro Beting, Neymar tackled several subjects including, unsurprisingly, the long-standing debate surrounding Messi and Ronaldo..
"I'd take Messi's left foot, with all due respect to Cristiano, because my right foot is pretty handy too," Neymar said, via Marca.
Asked who he would rather beat between Real Madrid and Manchester City, said: "I prefer beating Real Madrid to Manchester City."
Neymar was also asked to compare teammate Messi to Brazilian great Pele — a player the 24-year-old himself has been compared to countless times — but said it was a hard judgment to make.
"Unfortunately I never saw Pele play," he said. "What I know of him is through my grandfather, my dad's dad, who used to talk to me and tell me about how he played. It's a difficult question for me, because I've seen Messi play and have had the chance to play alongside him. They're both geniuses, though."
