Barcelona's Messi: I'm not better than Robinho

Barcelona midfielder Lionel Messi insists he is not better than Real Madrid winger Robinho.

Asked about a poll in Marca which saw him come out on top, Messi said: "These are things that are for the fans. Things are going well for Robinho at Real Madrid and for me here. It does not mean anything to compare us because we are two different players."

"Robinho is a great player, exciting and with much quality. He has scored some very exciting goals."
