I was better than Messi and Ronaldo - Brazil legend


Brazil legend Romario has claimed that he was better than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of scoring goals.

The 1994 world cup winner said he was better than the Argentine and his Portuguese nemesis in the penalty area.

The former Barcelona forward said neither Messi nor Cristiano can break his goal record.


"It's true that Messi and Ronaldo have different characteristics to mine and that they are the best players in the world today," Romario said at a lunch of his new book, as reported by Marca.

"They are the best in the world along with Neymar. They have both won titles and the ballon d'or, but modesty speaking, I was better than them in the Penalty area.

"They will never reach the number of goals that I scored, and I'll beat them by twice the amount."

The Brazilian, who also played for Valencia, PSV Eindhoven, Vasco Da Gama, Al-sadd and Adelaide united, scored 929 official goals, according to FIFA .
