Manchester City ace Carlos Tevez says former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney is on a par with Barcelona star Lionel Messi. Tevez relegates Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo to third rung in his list of the world's best.
"OK let me think Wayne Rooney is the best in the world. It was a privilege to play with him, I will always feel that way towards him. When we played together with Cristiano, the three of us, this was a great moment in my career," Tevez told the Daily Mail.
Rooney is better than Messi?
"In his position, Rooney is the best. Messi is the No 1 in his position. He is too much, right now. The ball sticks to his feet, who can take it from him?
But you can only pick one of them.
"It's my interview, I want to pick both of them. It's my dream selection. OK, I play Rooney and Messi, with Tevez, of course. In a 4-3-3. We would score some goals together, eh?"
No Ronaldo?
"Well, we can't all play in the same team, can we?"
