Pelé says he would choose Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo if he had a team

Even though Pelé is a bit senile these days, the man is still the King of Football and certainly one of the greatest to ever play the game. And whenever he has some commentary on a football topic, people still listen.

This time, he decided to comment on Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. Pelé was asked to choose between Messi and Ronaldo (I know, new thing, right?), and his response was... PERFECT!

"It's not about who I like more between them. Every time people ask me I tell them that you just can't compare them. Ronaldo is more direct, is a pure scorer. Messi scores a whole lot of goals but he can also create a ton for others. If I was managing a team, both of them would be very important but if I had to choose only one, it would be Messi."

HELL YEAH, KING. HELL YEAH.

What about Neymar?

"Neymar is still getting to their level. He doesn't have the same experience that Messi and Ronaldo have, but he is in a great situation. We sometimes forget about how easy it is to play with someone like Iniesta, and how great it is to learn from a great team with great footballers. It will be a great school for him."
