Thiago Silva backs Messi as best in the world
By Boluwatife Ezekiel Olaleye
Paris Saint-Germain’s Thiago Silva has backed Lionel Messi as the best player in the world
‘It’s harder to defend against Lionel Messi than Cristiano Ronaldo,’ Silva said according to Spanish news outlet Sport. ‘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.’
Ronaldo will be keen to prove Silva wrong though when the pair meet in the Champions League last 16 in a fortnight’s time. The PSG defender, though, was insistent Messi has the edge.
‘The little difference between them is that Messi, with the ball, one on one, or even against two, is difficult to stop.’
