Nun Says Messi Is 'Reflection of God's Perfection,' Blasts 'Arrogant' Ronaldo

Who does God prefer—Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? It isn't even a debate according to one high-profile nun in Spain.

Sister Lucia Caram told Sport, as per Star FM, that Messi is one of God's greatest ever creations.

"

For me the evidence for the existence of God is manifested in goodness and beauty, and when I see Messi play I see that.

One looks entranced, like by a beautiful painting or a sunset, when one faces Messi. I'm not saying he's God, but he's a reflection of God's perfection. He dazzles everyone.  

"

However, Sister Lucia does not see the same qualities in Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, quite the opposite in fact.

"

Is Messi an angel and Ronaldo the devil? Well Messi has the virtue of being a great player but he is also a good person. He is humble.

Cristiano plays football very well, but he has a very cocky and unfriendly attitude. He's not my greatest enemy, I think he plays very good football, but there is not harmony in him.

"

Quite strong words from a nun, but it all makes a bit more sense when you learn that Sister Lucia is from Argentina (despite being based in Spain for over 20 years) and is also a fan of Barcelona.

Hopefully Sport will redress the balance and get the thoughts of a Portuguese nun so we can clear this up once and for all.

Get thee to a nunnery!
