A former Paris Saint-Germain manager, who coached Lionel Messi in France, has caused a stir with recent comments he made about Cristiano Ronaldo.

Al Nassr stormed to a 4-3 win over Al Duhail in the AFC Champions League earlier this week, a match in which Ronaldo scored two incredible goals with his weaker foot.
His first was a long-range effort from outside the box into the top corner in the 61st minute, and his second was a wonderfully struck first-time volley in the opposition box 20 minutes later.
Qatar-based side Al Duhail are coached by former PSG head coach Christophe Galtier, who departed the French giants at the end of last season following yet another disappointing European campaign for the Ligue 1 club, who are still searching for their maiden UEFA Champions League title.
In Paris, Galtier worked with seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi, whom he often praised after games, but recently said that Ronaldo "is still the best player in the world".
"When you face Ronaldo, there isn't much you can do," he said, according to Goal.
"He scored two beautiful goals. I'm at a loss for words to describe him.
"What he did is extraordinary for a 38-year-old. He's still the best player in the world."
Ronaldo has been in fine form for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League this season, having scored 11 goals in his opening nine appearances.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has also been a consistent performer for Portugal, despite losing his place in the starting XI at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
