Capello: Messi is the number 1 in football

Lionel Messi is the only genius in football, according to former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello, who also commended Cristiano Ronaldo for his influence in Juventus.

Barcelona’s superstar, Messi, and Juventus striker Ronaldo have won five-time “Golden Ball” and the debate on which of these two is better does not stop.

When asked about Messi in Laureus in Monaco, Capello, who had won two La Liga titles during his time in Real Madrid, said only Messi could be considered a genius in football.

“Leo Messi is not just a football player, he is a genius and is the only genius in the world of football. He has not won many titles with Argentina, but that’s because he does not do all the work, “Capello said.

Capello also had good words for Cristiano after his transfer to Juventus, where he has been brilliant since his first season in Serie A.

After being transferred to 112 million euros during the last summer’s transfer, Ronaldo is the best scorer in Serie A, with 19 goals in 22 appearances for the Italian champion.

“Cristiano has awakened many Juventus players. His transfer to the club has appealed to everyone in the club to improve. It is clear that he wants to win the Champions League title with Juventus, “said the Italian.
