Lineker: Messi Better Than Ronaldo

Former England star Gary Lineker says Lionel Messi is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Lineker, who spent three years at Messi's Barcelona, scoring 42 goals in 103 games, said the Argentina international's teamwork put him ahead of his Portuguese rival. �For me Messi is a gift from the footballing gods," the 53-year-old wrote on his blog, Blahzil. "He�s just such a phenomenal talent, a player that doesn�t only best people but memorises them and produces magical moments, scores a multitude of goals and he�s always an honest player.
