Cristiano Ronaldo, but said the Real Madrid star's
problem was how good Lionel Messi is.
Ronaldo and Barca maestro Messi are regularly
compared and always in the discussion over the
greatest players of all-time.
Xavi, a former team-mate of Messi's at Camp Nou,
said Ronaldo deserved credit, but feels the
Portuguese attacker is behind the Argentinian.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is a born scorer, a spectacular
footballer," he told A Bola TV.
"The problem is that there is Messi, who for me is
the best player in history.
"That is the only problem that Cristiano Ronaldo
has, but he is a player who scores and continues to
mark an era."
Ronaldo's Madrid are in Champions League action
on Tuesday, hosting rivals Atletico in the first leg of
their semi-final.
Meanwhile, the battle between Barca and Madrid
for LaLiga glory is set to go down to the wire, with
the former on top but having played a game more.
