Chicarito: Ronaldo is better than Messi

New Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez has stepped into the widely talked about debate of who is better; Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?

The Mexican, who has joined on a season long loan deal from Manchester United, has told press in his homeland that he thinks the Real Madrid number seven is better, not the Barcelona number ten.

Speaking to ‘El Chiringuito’, the striker known as Chicarito said ““Cristiano is better without a doubt.

“You’d have to be mad not to think that because he is the best. Messi is good, but he is behind.

Hernandez, who spent four years at Old Trafford after signing from Chivas Guadalajara, also thinks that he will be a success, at the club he says is the biggest in the world, saying I played at Chivas, the best team in Mexico. I played at Manchester United, the best team in England.

“And now, I will play with Real Madrid, the best team in the world. I can only see the glass half full. Here the doubts are something you have to come to terms with. Only Madrid have 10 European Cups and some dare to argue about which is the best club in the world.”
