Di Maria said, “Ultimately, the best player is the one who has won the most Ballon d’Or awards, and Messi has already won 8 (Ronaldo has 5). So, for me, Messi is better.”

In addition, Di Maria also said, “Over the past few years, no matter where they play, both of them have pushed the development of football.”

“They continue to make the world talk about them, and now they are playing in the United States and Saudi Arabia. Their competition helped develop La Liga, made everyone fall in love with football, even those not very interested in it. With Messi, Americans began rediscovering football.”
