This type of debate will never be resolved unless one of them wins the World Cup at which point there's a nice, arbitrary difference between them. You'd think the one more likely to be able to do that is Messi.
I always seem to alternate between the two depending on which one I saw last. They always just seem to raise the bar between themselves. Both are ludicrous players, miles ahead of anyone else.
I hope at some point I get the chance to watch one/both of them before they retire.
Anthony fucking Le Tallec indeed.
