The Argentine star Ángel Di María had an opportunity that all players on the planet would envy.

Throughout his career, the world champion has competed against the most famous footballers of all time – both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

However, when faced with the eternal question of which player is better, the Argentine did not hesitate:

"The discussions should be dictated by the 'Ballon d'Or' trophy – Lionel has won it eighteen times (C. Ronaldo has won it five times – author's note).

So, I see a significant difference between these two players.”
