Raheem Sterling closely studies Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in his efforts to become one of the world's best players.
Sterling scored the equalizer and match winner in the Champions League on Tuesday, while also setting up David Silva's opener with a back-heel pass.
“It’s definitely one of my best nights in football. I said to myself if I could get on the scoresheet and we top the group I’d definitely put it down as my best moment in football so far,” Sterling said.
“I look at the biggest players in the world and try to see what they’ve all got. I don’t like to compare myself with people. I try to learn as much as I can from everyone around me. Definitely Messi and Ronaldo. They basically just set their lives to play football.
“I know that’s obvious, they should, but they just take it so seriously. They’ve got massive self-belief and know they’re the best players in the world. That’s what makes them unique and so special.”
Sterling played the match on his 21st birthday.
