Former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney named the main difference between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi on the pitch.
Talksport quotes Rooney as saying:
Cristiano Ronaldo, his mindset is goals. He doesn't care about anything else, it's goals, that's all he wants. Whereas you look at Messi, he wants to play a bit more.
Last Saturday, February 17, Ronaldo scored his 714th goal at the club level in the match of Al-Nassr with Al Fateh and surpassed Messi by this indicator.
