“For me, Messi is the best in the world. I haven’t seen anyone with this level of talent, but Cristiano was indeed a machine that worked insanely every day,” Pique explained. “In terms of work ethic, I haven’t seen anyone prepare as he did; he wanted to be the best. But in terms of talent, Messi is better. I rank Messi as the best player in the world, and Cristiano comes second with a very slight difference. They are the best players in history.”
