Pele: Lionel Messi is more complete than Cristiano Ronaldo
The Brazilian feels the Argentine is better than the Portuguese
"There's no doubt that Messi is the best," Pele told SporTV
When it came to choosing between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, football legend Pele was clear on who his favourite is.
The Brazilian went for the Barcelona star, saying that Messi is "more complete" than his Portuguese rival.
In quotes made to television channel SporTv in his native Brazil, Pele assured that "Messi's been the most stable in the last 10 years. As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he's a great goalscorer."
He added: "Ronaldo's been able to score goals, while you see Messi creating goals and directing the play, as well as scoring.
"Ronaldo's a great goalscorer but in terms of the complete player, there's no doubt that Messi is the best."
Pele previosuly spoke about Ronaldo in September, when he challenged him to "score more than 1283 goals" in reference to how many he had scored in his own career.
