The FIFA president says they are both very different players and true greats

He highlighted the fact that Ronaldo is currently the holder of FIFA's The Best award

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has spoken about the duel between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He tried to be diplomatic in his interview with Football Talks. 

"I think there are big differences between Cristiano and Messi," he said. "They have different styles, they are physically different and are two incredible footballers. One year one is a bit better, the next year it's the other and it has been like that for the last 10 years. It has been great competition. Officially Cristiano is recognised as the best by FIFA," he said.

The Argentine has 41 goals this season and is having a fine season, putting himself in a good position to take that FIFA award off Ronaldo in January.
