Al-Nassr striker Anderson Talisca has opted to choose teammate Cristiano Ronaldo over his long-term rival Lionel Messi.

Talisca said Ronaldo has the gift of God, adding that the former Manchester United forward is a monster in football.

Speaking on the Out of the Game podcast, Anderson Talisca was quoted as saying, “I am more Cristiano Ronaldo than Messi. Where he got to and where he is—of course, he has the gift of God, but he is a monster.

“He works hard and is very dedicated. He worked for what he is today.”

Talisca and Ronaldo have been two of Al-Nassr’s best players during the recently concluded 2022–2023 season.
