Ronaldo: I am Greater than Messi

Cristiano Ronaldo has said that even though Messi 'has knockabouts with Jesus', he is a greater player. He was half-joking though!

Speaking ahead of teh all-important Classico, Ronaldo was asking who was the greatest player out of him and Messi.

"The greatest? Well, I am the greatest in terms of height, weight and strength! Messi is going through one of the best perids of his career, and is obviously a fantastic player. I am doing well myself, and am very happy. I am sure that the years I spend here with Real Madrid are going to be good ones.

"Both teams have the same number of points in the table, and if we want to win the championship, we have to win this match to get an advantage for the title. There are still many games left, and every single oneof themis as important, not just this one, which is a special match of course - its the classico."
