Alexis Sanchez Says He Is On The Same Level With Messi And Ronaldo

 

Alexis Sanchez says he has reached a level where he can compete with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Sanchez joined Arsenal in 2014 from Barcelona, where he played alongside five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi in attack, and has since scored 30 goals in 68 Premier League appearances for the Gunners. 

Ronaldo, who has won two Champions League titles in the last three years with Real Madrid, captained Portugal to Euro 2016 success this summer and scored 54 goals in all competitions last season. However, Sanchez believes he has now got to a point where there is no one superior to him in football. 

He said “I have reached a level where I can compete with great players, I do not feel inferior to anybody. I liken my qualities to Messi and Ronaldo. I have the same abilities as them.” Arsenal have won just one of their opening three Premier League fixtures this season, with Sanchez opening his account for the campaign in the 3-1 victory at Watford last time out.
