Barcelona star Lionel Messi has heaped praise on Real Madrid rivals Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo ahead of the weekend's El Clasico.
Messi had nothing but positive words for both Real identities just days away from the first of four El Clasicos.
"Cristiano has ambition and goals. Wherever he is he always is adapting and working," said Messi.
"Mourinho is the perfect coach for Real Madrid. People can say what they want, but for better or worse, as a coach he is a winner."
