Buffon: Messi is more complete than ‘killer’ Ronaldo

Italian star Buffon praised both Madrid’s Ronaldo and Barcelona’s Messi, though he signed out the latest. Juventus captain called  Ronaldo a “killer” in his own right but Messi is more complete player for him. Both are five-time Ballon d’Or winners and are regarded as greatest players of all time. They are two completely different players," veteran goalkeeper Buffon told reporters on Thursday. "Messi is more complete, because he starts deeper, has more technical quality and a vision of the game that is worthy more of a trequartista than a finisher. "Cristiano Ronaldo, perhaps because he is a little older, has become a killer in the penalty area. Compared to how he was before, Ronaldo preserves his energy more, so he no longer goes out to the flank for a nutmeg or trick-shot, but with one ball into the box he can create a goal," Buffon said.
