In terms of goalscoring and playmaking ability, both the legends had almost the same level of talent. Both showed their class in two different leagues, having La Liga in common.
In a recent incident, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken about the unacceptable behavior (booing) of some England fans during England’s 3-0 win over the Ivory Coast on Tuesday evening.
During the press conference on Thursday, Arteta said: “Obviously they have the freedom to express what they want but if you ask anyone related to football how you are going to get the best out of a player, obviously it is totally against any odds that the player is going to improve if he gets booed.
“That is something I think we would all agree: you want the best for your team, the best for your national team, obviously that is not going to help the player individually which is not going to help the team collectively.”
