Former Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has waded into the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi argument.
The two legendary players were expected to clash for one last time, but Ronaldo failed to feature for Al-Nassr in their game against Inter Miami due to injury.
Despite the absence of the former Real Madrid forward, Brazilian winger Anderson Talisca inspired the Saudi giants to an emphatic victory over the Major League Soccer side.
Agyemang Badu, who faced Ronaldo in the Serie A during his time in Italy, believes the Portuguese forward is a complete player than his long-time rival, Messi.

"I will pick Ronaldo ahead of Messi. I think he is complete, it's not about the laurels but he is complete because both his legs are good, and he is good in the air. The only deficiency in his play is maybe his passing," he told UTV.
"Messi is excellent, he scores goals, his composure is good, but he is not good in the air and his right foot is also not so good," he added. "And that is why I will choose Ronaldo over him."
Agyemang Badu retired from international football in 2020 after almost a decade with the Black Stars, as reported by Ghana Web.
The ex-Udinese star spent most of his career in Italy before later moving to China.
