Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra believes that after winning the world title, Argentine star Lionel Messi can no longer be compared with his legendary compatriot Diego Maradona and Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo.
Patrice Evra- After winning the world title, Messi will no longer live in the shadow of Maradona. Argentine fans will never forget Maradona, but right now the best player in the world for them is Leo. I cannot say that Messi is the best, and I cannot say that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best. I want people to stop these arguments, because everyone has their own opinion.
We are all different. Some might say that Messi is the best because he won the world title. Others will define Ronaldo as the best because he won the European Championship. It's difficult, but after winning the world title, Messi will be among the best - the greatest players of all times and peoples in the eyes of people, because this is the most valuable trophy, "said Evra.
