PARIS: Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller has unveiled his take on the long-stuck conundrum over the undisputed one on the football pitch. Müller was meeting the press after Bayern victory over PSG in the champions league. He said it is very difficult to face Ronaldo on the pitch rather than going against Lionel Messi.

Müller's discernment was based on the Portugal icon's time at Santiago Bernabeu. He said Ronaldo was a nightmare at Madrid and the results of that time saw Real Madrid ousting Bayern most of the time from the UEFA champions league. One celebrated semi-final match also saw the Madrid team beating the Bayern side with Cristiano Ronaldo taking a hat trick to his pockets. Müller said whenever it was Messi, his team had an easy run. The stats also ring true to Müller's claim as Barcelona fell short of securing the win against Bayern most of the time.

Amidst all the bragging talks, Messi has had a glittering run through the year with the little wizard taking Argentina to world cup glory in Qatar. The Ballon d'Or will be announced soon and as far as the trophies count, Lionel Messi is far ahead by a thousand miles and a half.
