Is Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on same level? Sir Alex Ferguson view


They may have been usurped from the top of the La Liga scoring charts, but the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate continues to rage.
And now former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has given his insight on what makes his ex-charge Ronaldo the pick of the pair, as he spoke as a guest at 'An Evening with Rory McIlroy in Dublin.
“It’s interesting to me that we hear so much about two players these days: Ronaldo and Messi ,” the Scot said alongside the former World No.1 golfer.

“Now don’t get me wrong, Messi is a fantastic player, it’s like he’s wearing slippers when he controls the ball. But here, for me, is the difference. Messi is a Barcelona player.
“But Ronaldo could play for Stockport County and score a hat-trick. He has everything. He can shoot with both feet, head the ball, he’s as brave as a lion, and here’s something else people overlook."

This season was the first time since 2009 that neither Messi or Ronaldo claimed the Pichichi Trophy, as Luis Suarez topped the goalscoring charts with 40 goals, five more than the Real Madrid man and 14 ahead of his Barca team-mate Messi.

Ferguson also believes it is the Portuguese's work rate was what separated him from his peers.
“During my time at Manchester United I was lucky enough to have a lot of people who put in countless extra hours to get better. Gary Neville turned himself from an average footballer into a wonderful one because of his work ethic, as did David Beckham. But Ronaldo used to completely exhaust himself, and still does. He just wanted to be the best in the world.”

Dazzling: Kim Kardashian wears £24million worth of diamonds in Cannes

Mum-of-two Kim got flashy at the French film festival and made her entrance in style - wearing a modest £24million worth of diamonds at the De Grisogono event at the Hotel Du Cap.
Kim posted a video to Snapchat of her haul (OK, they were borrowed, but it would be rude not to at least pretend for a bit), saying: “No big deal but this pink diamond is $28million, this is $5million in yellow, and this white is $3million.”

She also posted an Instagram photo of her jewellery fitting, writing: “Wow! I thought I'd seen it all but this is the biggest diamond I have ever seen. Massive 404 carats at de Grisogono! @degrisogono”.
When Kim’s flabbergasted by how expensive something is then you know it’s SERIOUSLY flash.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and son's ex-girlfriend Miley Cyrus reunite


Arnold Schwarzenegger and his son Patrick's ex-girlfriend Miley Cyrus reunited at the NBC Universal Upfront Showcase in New York City on Monday, May 16. Instead of having an awkward encounter, the two seemed to be in good spirits.

Miley rocked a pink furry jacket atop a wolf-printed T-shirt and floral black-and-white pants. She sported minimal makeup with nude lipstick and messy bang. Meanwhile, the "Terminator Genisys" star opted for a dapper look wearing a navy blue suit.

The pair looked happy as they posed for some selfies. The "We Can't Stop" hitmaker also appeared in Arnold's Snapchat video. In the clip, the two giggled and Arnold couldn't help gushing about Miley. "I'm here with a great, great entertainer. One of the greatest in the world. Eat your heart out," Arnold said. Miley also quipped, "Yeah! Eat your heart out.
As previously reported, Miley ended her relationship with Patrick Schwarzenegger back on April 22 last year after five months of dating. The two called it quits after Patrick was photographed with a bikini-clad girl in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Responding to the rumor, Patrick wrote on Twitter, "OMG. It's one of my best friend's girlfriend...Would NEVER do anything against my GF (sic)."

Months after the split, Arnold described Patrick and Miley's relationship as a "wonderful experience" for his son. "She was a wonderful person. She has her career side where she has to be a little bit out there because she grew up in a music family," Arnold told Howard Stern in July 2015. "So what? It didn't bother me. Patrick had a wonderful experience, a great relationship, and then the whole thing eventually fell apart."
