Pelé has come out and labelled Leo Messi the “best player” of the last decade. “A lot of people compare Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but they’re different types of players. They’re both fantastic, though”, the Brazilian legend added.

The three-time World Cup winner also ruled out the idea of him replacing Sepp Blatter at the helm of FIFA. “No, I have no intention of running for the post of FIFA president”, ‘O Rei’ stated.
