"For the good of football, please don't compare him [Messi] to Juve's Number 7 (Ronaldo) again," he wrote on Instagram account. Mario also said that one can never get better of Lionel Messi. During a conversation with one of the football sites, he said that he would pick Lionel Messi over Ronaldo especially because he has played with both of them. He also emphasised on Messi's performance in the Champions League 2018-19 against Liverpool where the six-time Ballon d'Or award winner had scored a couple of goals in the match.
"In terms of quality, Messi is better than everyone. I'm convinced that if you ask a defender if they would rather play against Messi or Ronaldo, they would have no doubts," he said during the interview. Balotelli looks to have a fall out with his current club Brescia.
