Diego Simeone clarified his remark that he would prefer having Ronaldo over Messi on his side.

Simeone said that Ronaldo would be better on a limited team due to his ability to finish chances.

Messi would be better on a team that focuses on playing elaborate football.

"What I consider is that in a team with fewer solutions, Ronaldo is a better fit because he provides many solutions. For a team which focuses on football, Messi is much better...Cristiano can decide a game in a different way, he doesn't need ten attacks. He scored two headers against us and we were out...Lionel, in an attacking team always plays better. The other [Ronaldo] can win a game in two actions, he simplifies the situations. Messi is mesmerising because he plays elaborate football. Leo plays in a team that compliments all of his talent. He always ends up finding solutions," said Simeone.
