Former Juventus and Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has dismissed Cristiano Ronaldo standing in the game.
For many, the Al-Nassr striker is the greatest football has seen.
But Capello said at Laureus Awards: "Messi, Pelé, Maradona and Ronaldo the Phenomenon can be defined as such.
"I don't consider Cristiano Ronaldo among them.
"CR7 is a great player, he won titles and the Ballon d'Or, but he wasn't as great as Messi. Ronaldo is a great scorer and can do everything, but he's not a genius."
