Barcelona superstar Neymar says he would rather have team-mate Lionel Messi’s left leg than Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo’s right.
Speaking with UOL’s Mauro Beting, Neymar touched on several subjects including, of course, football’s greatest debate surrounding Messi and Ronaldo.
But the Brazil captain cheekily suggested he would rather Messi’s left leg than Ronaldo’s right.
“I’d take Messi’s left foot, with all due respect to Cristiano, because my right foot is pretty handy too,” Neymar said, via Marca.
Furthermore, when asked who he would rather beat between Real Madrid and Manchester City, he said: “I prefer beating Real Madrid to Manchester City.”

However, the 24-year-old fell short of deciding who is the better player between five-time ballon d’Or winner Messi and Brazilian great Pele – a player the 24-year-old himself has been compared to countless times.
“Unfortunately I never saw Pele play,” he said,
“What I know of him is through my grandfather, my dad’s dad, who used to talk to me and tell me about how he played. It’s a difficult question for me, because I’ve seen Messi play and have had the chance to play alongside him. They’re both geniuses, though.”
The Brazil international also said he preferred the Champions League to South America’s Copa Libertadores.
“The Libertadores is sensational but the Champions League… The first time I heard the anthem was a really special feeling.
“It’s like being in a video game; it’s living the dream of every child. That’s why I’m picking the Champions League.”
