In a conversation with the journalist of the edition of Sport24, Blatter recalled the case when he compared Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in favor of the Argentine, calling Leo the best player in the world.

According to Josef, this was a speech before Oxford students who forced him to make a choice, although he himself considers Messi and Ronaldo to be the same in class.

At the same time, remembering this case and his words of praise for Messi, Blatter said:.

"As for Messi ... But this does not apply to today's Messi. Now he is some sort of sleeper and has grown a beard, like an old man ... ", the former head of FIFA.

Earlier, Lionel Messi said that he does not want to finish his career in the national team and did not win the World Cup.
