Ballon d'Or winner and Manchester City star Rodri believes Lionel Messi has more talent than Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two icons dominated football for more than a decade on both the individual and team levels.
Many consider their rivalry the most tense and entertaining throughout the history of the game.
Rodri said on El Hormiguero: "Messi is the best, I have no doubt about that. Cristiano is equal to him in many aspects, but he does not have the innate talent that Leo has. For us players, facing them was a revealing experience.
"Messi was lethal wherever he was on the pitch. He only had to touch the ball to know that something was going to happen. That's the difference that makes him unique."
Rodri claimed the 2024 Ballon d'Or title for the first time after his key role in Spain's Euro 2024 title win.
