Both Ronaldo and Messi made switches ahead of the current campaign, with the former leaving Juventus for Manchester and the latter finding a new home in Paris.
However, things haven’t been going on smoothly for both megastars as they have had to endure some barren runs this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently had to endure his biggest goal drought in over a decade, while Lionel Messi has only found the back of the net for PSG twice in Ligue 1.
Speaking on a media call, Hutchinson was asked who amongst Messi and Ronaldo was having the better season. The former Liverpool player said that the Portuguese forward edged past Lionel Messi.
Hutchinson explained the reason behind his assessment as he feels Ronaldo is the main reason why Manchester United are still in the Champions League.
The football pundit continued by saying that fans are used to seeing Lionel Messi score more than 30 goals, and his tally this season has been poor. He concluded by saying that comparing the two modern-day greats, Cristiano Ronaldo is in better form at the moment.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be crucial for Manchester United and PSG in the Champions League
While they have had indifferent seasons, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will be crucial for Manchester United and PSG in the Champions League.
Ronaldo already has six goals in five matches for the Red Devils in Europe’s premier competition and will play a major role in his side getting a result away to Atletico Madrid.
While his form in Ligue 1 hasn’t been great, Messi has been massive for PSG in the Champions League as he has racked up five goals in six appearances.
If the French club is to lift their first Champions League crown, the Argentine forward will have to be in top form.
