Ferran Torres chooses Ronaldo over Messi: Well, it is very rare that a Barcelona star praises Cristiano Ronaldo considering their long rivalry with Real Madrid, where Ronaldo has made history. But one of their current stars has said that he would rather choose Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol than his club legend, Lionel Messi.
Ferran Torres chooses Ronaldo over Messi.
“For me, Cristiano is a leader, an idol, because to compete and take the Ballon d’Or away from the best player in history has incredible merit.”
“I think Leo [is the best]. What Leo [Lionel Messi] has done, I have not seen anyone do. I haven’t seen Maradona or Pelé, there was even Ronaldinho when I was very young, but Messi, to be there for 20 years, every year scoring 50 goals and 50 assists is crazy.”
He said that he had looked up to Ronaldo in his childhood. He had chosen Ronaldo over Messi and David Villa.
“From an early age I had two main references, one when I was very small and he arrived at Valencia and that was David Villa. Villa and David Silva the duo that took Valencia to such great heights.”
“But for me, Cristiano above all is a great reference not just because of the way he plays his football but also because of the way he carries himself away from football. It is worthy of admiration and I would like to follow his steps.”
