Modric is spectacular, but Messi has no comparison with Luka or anyone.
I love Messi with the ball at his feet: he scores goals and does all the rest, too. But Cristiano's numbers can't be ignored. It's a cruel comparison. Both of them deserve respect.
What's the problem that people have here in Spain with Maradona and Messi? They spend the whole day comparing them.
When I was in Germany I never played like this, so defensive - almost a left-back, but that is good for me because defensive work was something I missed in Germany.
English football is very physical, much more so than Spanish football - I felt it in the first match.
I really like Neymar too, but I really like Messi.
I don't wish that I was playing football. I love baseball, and the way I play is like it's my last day ever playing it. I do like football, but you've got to respect that it's not like baseball.
In England, footballers are respected more, the game is more noble, there's less cheating. Every Spaniard who goes loves it - and comes back a better player. If I had ever left, it would have been to England.
The best player to compare to Aguero is Romario.
You cannot play the position Kroos plays in defensive midfield besides Luka Modric better than he does.
Cristiano is unlucky to be playing in the same era as Messi. Ronaldo is a very good player, but Messi is even better.
I don't think Gladbach are on the same level as Arsenal.
I don't see too many differences between Serie A and the Premier League. Both are unpredictable leagues, where anything can happen.
Kirk Cousins has played much better at the quarterback position than Robert Griffin III has.
Lionel Messi reminds me of George Best, the way he would run with the ball tight to his foot.
You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.
They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different
They (Leeds United) used to be a bit like Arsenal, winning by one goal to nil or even less.
Ronaldo has been compared to the incomparable George Best
German football is very different to football in South America.
Nowadays, Messi is better than Ronaldinho. He is the best footballer in the world right now. And I'm not the only who says so. Everyone who has seen him play says so too.
I think a pitcher in baseball is the most relatable position to a specialist in football, because you get a limited opportunity to prove your worth to the team.
The caliber of play in professional football compared to college is better and everybody knows it. They don't realize how much better. What a giant leap forward in the ability of talent level, the speed, and even the grasp of what you are trying to do. There is no other distractions before the players.
Comparing Isco to Zidane isn't ridiculous. He is very close to Zidane in terms of ability, they have a lot of similarities. Zidane is obviously in a better position to judge, and he said Isco isn't there yet but could come close in the future.
Messi is top but Maradona is another world.
