​​Gerard Pique has ended the GOAT debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo with an epic answer. 

Pique has had the luxury of playing with both Messi and Ronaldo in his illustrious career. 

He was briefly teammates with the Portugal international at Manchester United and enjoyed a prolific spell with the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner at Barcelona.

So, Pique has a pretty good say on the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate having seen the pair of footballing legends up close and personal. 

And he offered an incredibly diplomatic response to football's age-old question, saying Messi is not human which makes Ronaldo the best of the humans. 

On Messi vs. Ronaldo, the Spanish defender told BT Sport via the Mirror: "I think that they are both amazing.​

"We are talking about two of the best players, not just in the world but the history of this sport.

"I always said that Messi has some talent that no one has. I mean, he has the ball and his speed controlling the ball.

"The ball doesn't go two metres far from his foot, it's always there. It's impossible to catch him, this talent I didn't see from anyone

"Cristiano Ronaldo is such a different player, they are very different. He is tall, strong, he's really complete. He can do anything.

"He can do goals with the head, free-kicks, penalties, take one on one."

Pique added:​ "But for me it's like Messi is not human but Cristiano is the best of the humans."​

That brilliantly sums up the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo, with the Paris Saint-Germain superstar often delivering goals and assists out of this world.
