Drury feels Cristiano Ronaldo can compete against Olympic athletes and is brilliant at his game. The 54-year-old has still picked Lionel Messi over the Manchester United forward due to the magic he can create on the pitch.

Speaking in an interview with Nana Aba Anamoah (via the Sport Bible), Drury said:

Peter Drury also stated that Cristiano Ronaldo is an incredible athlete while Lionel Messi looks like a boy perfoming at the highest level.

Cristiano Ronaldo has had a better start to the new season compared to Lionel Messi

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi moved clubs earlier this summer. Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Juventus to rejoin Manchester United while Lionel Messi signed for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.

It is safe to say that Ronaldo has made a better start to the new season compared to Lionel Messi. The 36-year-old forward has settled nicely at Old Trafford and has already scored nine goals in 12 appearances for the Red Devils. These included important last-minute goals against the likes of Atalanta and Villarreal in the Champions League.

Lionel Messi, on the other hand, has struggled to settle into his new surroundings at PSG. The former Barcelona superstar is yet to score a league goal for his new club so far this season.

However, Messi has scored three goals in the Champions League, including a brace against RB Leipzig.
