Vincent Aboubakar, whose contract was terminated by Saudi club Al Nassr after signing Cristiano Ronaldo, took a dig at the Portuguese superstar, comparing him with Lionel Messi.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Aboubakar told NTV Spor, "I always thought that Messi was better than Ronaldo, but after I had practice with him, I knew I was right."

Aboubakar mutually ended his contract with the club since only 8 foreign players can be registered by a Saudi club at a time.

And in order to register CR7, the club had to release an existing foreign player, which in this case was Aboubakar, who will get compensation in return.
