Brazil legend Pele says Lionel Messi has outshone Cristiano Ronaldo as "best in the world" over the past decade. Argentina and Barcelona star Messi has won four Ballon d'Or titles compared to three won by the Real Madrid and Portugal player Ronaldo. "At the moment people always try to compare Ronaldo with Messi [but] it's a different style," the three-time World Cup winner told the BBC's Sportsweek. The 74-year-old added: "They are two great players, but in the past 10 years the best in the world was Messi." This clip is from Sportsweek, Sunday 22 March 2015.
