Messi is people's player, Ronaldo is European prototype: Trezeguet

On being asked to choose between Argentina captain Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, former French striker David Trezeguet said, "I've always had a soft spot for Messi." "A player a lot more natural, the people's player. Cristiano is a European prototype, an example," Trezeguet added. Messi has scored six goals in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026.
