Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas has described his fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo and rival Lionel Messi as extraterrestrial.

Speaking ahead of Ballon d'Or award set to hold on Monday, December 2, Villas-Boas believes Ronaldo "should be appreciated", having left "the best team in the world" for a move to Juventus last year.

He said: "It's difficult... I am Portuguese so of course I support Ronaldo more.

"Cristiano took a risk by leaving the best team in the world, with more title in the world. That kind of risk should be appreciated. Playing in Italy and scoring goals is difficult.

"Messi is still in his club, Barcelona, which is a big club. He is able to make the difference.

"But I am more for Cristiano because I'm Portuguese. Both of them are exceptional, it's difficult to choose. It [Ballon d'Or] will become a competition between them."
