Better

Ronaldo won the prestigious individual award in 2008, when he contributed an incredible 42 goals to United's Champions League and Premier League double season. Since then, Lionel Messi has dominated the individual prizes. But, whilst Evra is not dismissing Messi's ability, he is adamant Ronaldo is better. "Ronny is an incredible player, the best in the world," he said. "He is better than Messi. "It is not because he is my friend or that I played with him but he has everything. "Messi is unbelievable but Ronaldo does it on his own. In Madrid he has to score the goals and create them. At Barcelona, Messi has Xavi and Iniesta."
