At a after Cristiano Ronaldo equalled Lionel Messi's then-record of five Ballon d'Ors, Zidane favored the former Real Madrid forward: "There have been many players who have made history at this club. But nobody has done what he has -- the statistics speak for that. What he has done is impressive. So I think yes [he is the best in history]." Zidane, who was the recipient of the prestigious Ballon d'Or in 1998, was also asked if he felt Ronaldo was better than him. He replied with a smile: "I was clearly better. If I have to choose, I choose myself. But seriously, you know I think Cristiano is much better, although I had a good career. "There are no more words to define him. What he does every day, every game, is phenomenal. He has made history at this club, and keeps doing that, and I hope it will continue until he retires here."

Having worked with Cristiano Ronaldo before during his glittering stint with Real Madrid, it will be interesting to see what Zidane has to say about Messi if they end up working together next season. But it remains to be seen whether that is a real possibility, especially after Zidane's advisor silenced the rumors: “All these rumors circulating are unfounded. To date, I am the only person admitted to represent and advise Zinedine Zidane.""Neither Zinedine Zidane nor I have been contacted directly by the PSG owner.
