Nigerian
international Austin 'Jay-Jay' Okocha has said that Real Madrid forward Cristiano
Ronaldo is unfortunate to be of the same generation as Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

The former
Paris St-Germain superstar said: "I have to be diplomatic here, especially as I’ve a lot of
Portuguese friends, but I tend to lean towards Messi. He’s a more natural
talent. Ronaldo is a fantastic player, one of the best I’ve ever seen, but he’s
been a bit unfortunate to be of the same generation as Messi. Consequently,
they have to share the limelight."
The Nigerian
noted that the player who he most resembles currently is Paris St-Germain's
record signing, Neymar.

The Nigerian
believes Neymar will soon be the best in the world, saying
""Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football for a decade and,
given the nature of football, at a certain point the baton will have to pass to
someone else. I think Neymar has a great chance of filling that role."
