Romario tips Messi ahead of Ronaldo

Dubai: Romario has tipped Lionel Messi ahead of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo for even more greatness should the Argentinean genius continue with his current progress in football.

"Both Messi and Ronaldo are big players in the modern game, but it is Messi's ability to just continue scoring goals that puts him ahead of Ronaldo," he said. Romario is best remembered for his ability in finding the back of the net. The legendary Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona have described him either as "genius of the goal area" or an "incredible finisher".
