Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Balague caught up with the world No 1 behind the scenes at the Madrid Open to get the lowdown on his favourite football memories and players, as well as his tennis life.

Murray lifts the lid on the fledgling football career that was scuppered by injuries, remembers his childhood days watching Hibernian and turns his hands to table football, as well as showing off his keep-uppy skills.

The Scot also mounts a staunch defence of Arsenal's Mesut Ozil, picks his ultimate XI and wades into the big debate of who's better: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?

"It's such a difficult question," Murray says. "They're so difficult to separate. How do you pick between them as players? But if I had to watch one..."

In a candid interview, the star also opens up about his rise to the top of the tennis game and the challenges he faced after finally triumphing at Wimbledon.
