Bale vs Messi

Presumably there was not even a hint of bias involved when former Real Madrid midfielder Guti suggested Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are a better duo than Lionel Messi and Neymar, via Marca: "Ronaldo and Bale or Messi and Neymar? Ronaldo and Bale for me. They give you more options in games when things aren't going to plan. They're really fast." Maybe he's not noticed that Messi and Neymar are pretty quick and nifty with the ball at their feet, too? Regardless of that, though, it does open up an interesting debate following Barcelona and Madrid's marquee summer signings. Real Madrid's duo or the pair from Barca? The Europeans or the South Americans?
