Speaking to the Paraguayan press on the sidelines of a gala match held during the FIFA Congress, the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation responded to a question about the best player in the world.

The best are still active—Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo... We'll be seeing Messi at the Club World Cup... There are also some young talents making a name for themselves, like Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembélé... Let's hope they stay injury free.

A beautiful tribute from Samuel Eto'o to the two superstars who have dominated world football for more than two decades, collecting between them an astonishing 15 Ballon d'Or awards (9 for Lionel Messi and 6 for Cristiano Ronaldo).
