Dynamo Kyiv coach Mircea Lucescu says Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo is very different to Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Dynamo will meet both superstars in the Champions League this week.

Lucescu said, “I've come across them many times, but my players haven't. They'll come across them soon. I have to explain what they're like.

“Messi is a short player who is exceptional in tight spaces because of his acceleration, self-confidence, dribbling and all that. Ronaldo is a different kind of player because he loves to score so much that he needs bigger spaces. He needs everyone's help, his team-mates' help.

“Messi can do a lot of things on his own. Ronaldo can work by himself in the penalty area or 20 metres from the area, but he tries to take advantage of the space created by others and he strikes. That's it: they're different, but they're both really strong players."
