The Portuguese superstar's remarkable goal-scoring record means he cannot be criticized for being a selfish footballer, according to Wolfsburg's sporting director.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs considers Cristiano Ronaldo a more selfish player than Lionel Messi, but acknowledged his mentality benefits Real Madrid.
Ronaldo and Messi have split the Ballon d'Or for the past eight years, with the Argentine star winning five to the Madrid talisman's three.
The Portuguese forward has scored six more club goals in all competitions than Messi this season, but it is Barca which tops La Liga and faces Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final in May.
