Brazil legend Pelé says Lionel Messi has outshone Cristiano Ronaldo as “best in the world" over the past decade.

Argentina and Barcelona star Messi, 27, edges Real Madrid and Portugal"s Ronaldo, 30, 4-3 in Ballon d"Or wins. Pelé was quoted in BBC: “At the moment people always try to compare Ronaldo with Messi [but] it"s a different style. They are two great players, but in the past 10 years the best in the world was Messi. Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, George Best – they were the same level as Messi. We had in Brazil Zico, Rivaldo. They don"t have the experience of playing abroad. They don"t have players who have played in Africa, Japan or South America. This is one of the reasons why, when we have a big competitions, the players have a problem. But no doubt the level of football in England is one of the best in the world."
