I think PSG brought him in to win the Champions League. For me I think it was all about the environment. It's not just him making this decision, it's his family around him making this decision and when you look at the North-west of England, you have to look at the climate, the weather, the food. 'You have to look at the whole environment, you have to look at the family. For now, let's get back to Messi and PSG and why Messi chose France over possibly England. But this is not a comparison of Ronaldo and Messi. He (Messi) has only done it in LaLiga.' Mark Seagraves, who made 42 appearances for Manchester City from 1987 to 1990 further said on TOI Sportscast. So far in 12 league games played for PSG this season, Messi has scored 1 goal from 12 shots on target and has had 5 assists.Ĭristiano Ronaldo (AFP Photo) 'That's why I have always gone with Ronaldo in terms of who I think is the better of the two, because Ronaldo has done it in Serie A, Premier League, LaLiga and Messi hasn't. And even with the team that he has, it's a team of Galacticos isn't it - with the players that they have around him and that's the only question mark I have with Messi.' Mark Seagraves, a football pundit, who has played for clubs like Manchester City and Bolton Wanderers in the past, said on TOI Sportscast on December 22, 2021. He hasn't been the same force that he was when he played for Barcelona, so that again leaves a little bit of a question mark in my mind that - if you are going to the French league, you've got to be tearing it up and he hasn't.

Now, Messi has gone to probably the third or fourth highest technical league in terms of Ligue 1 and he hasn't pulled any trees up just now. And I would have loved to see him in the Premier League because Ronaldo has done it in the Premier League.

This clause that he had, there were only one or two clubs in the world that could have got him and one of them was PSG and the other one was Manchester City.

He made Barcelone an awful lot of money and Barcelona made him an awful lot of money also, so, it was a bitter little twist at the end. 'I didn't think he did his legacy any favours in terms of how he behaved.
