Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez says fans should forget comparisons and just enjoy seeing Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona star Lionel Messi on the same pitch together this Wednesday night.

Diplomatically, Tevez refuses to split them, although it is clear the winner of their personal duel stands an excellent chance of lifting the European Cup on Wednesday night.

"Everybody considers them to be the best football players in the world," said Tevez.

"Some people will say Messi is the best and some people will say Ronaldo is the best. For me, they are both as special as each other.

"To have them both on the same pitch should be great entertainment for the fans."
