THE stage is set for Lionel Messi and Wayne Rooney to make Saturday's Champions League final an all-time classic.
As a manager, it's almost impossible to decide who you would have in your team IF you could buy only one of them.
But it's the kind of dilemma I would love to have as we are dealing with two of the game's best-ever players.
They look totally different yet are surprisingly similar.
Both can open up a defence with one turn of a boot and each is a great passer of the ball, even though they play different styles.
A mate of mine said to me the other day, after watching Messi destroy a team on his own, that the Argentine looks like the sort of bloke you'd find sitting in a bookies in the afternoon, smoking a fag and betting on horses.
He's a skinny runt who looks nothing like a modern-day footballer really.
He has funny little legs that move awkwardly when he runs and if he turned up at your club as a 16-year-old, you'd send him away with a pat on the head and tell him he'd no chance of making it.
