“Who do I prefer? If I have to make a team, if I have to score goals, Cristiano. Really, only to score goals.

"But if I need a player, a playmaker, who can score goals and make assists, I take Messi every day.”

While some still believe Ronaldo to be the superior player, there seems to be an acceptance that Messi has created some distance between the two thanks to his World Cup triumph in Qatar.

Pogba has not played professional football since September 2023 after being found guilty of doping by the Italian Anti-Doping National Tribunal.

However, his four-year ban has been reduced to 18 months, meaning he can come back in 2025.
