The clash between Real Madrid and PSG is drawing closer and defender Thiago Silva spoke to Le10Sport about Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he will face in the European clash.

Silva said something the Madrid forward will not like. "It's harder to defend againt Leo Messi than Cristiano Ronaldo," he said. 

"Cristiano deserved to win everything he's won in his career. This year is a bit harder for him but it's not over yet. He could still win the next Ballon d'Or."

"The little difference between them is thar Messi, with the ball, one on one, or even against two, is difficult to stop."

To avoid diplomatic problems he added: "They are both players who incredible things, like Neymar, for example."
