Former Real Madrid and Inter Milan star Wesley Sneijder insists he would've been one of the greats of the game - if he had applied himself.

Speaking with Gianlucadimarzio.com, Sneijder says he has no career regrets.

"I could have become like (Lionel) Messi or (Cristiano) Ronaldo. I simply didn't feel like it," said Sneijder.

"As a footballer, I enjoyed my life, maybe I had a glass for dinner. Leo and Cristiano are different, they have made many sacrifices.

"And that's fine with me: my career, despite this, was still amazing."
