Sane: Hazard is on the same level with Messi, Ronaldo

Manchester City forward Leroy Sane placed Chelsea star Eden Hazard in the level of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar, according to report.

Sane is not convinced that any Manchester City players and teammates are in the same rank with the top world footballers.

The German international is one of the best players in Manchester City and has helped Pep Guardiola’s men maintain the top of the Premier League this season, Sane is in his top form at the moment.

When asked if he was at the same level with Barcelona Star Lionel Messi, he humbly said only three players could answer yes to that question.

“No, I’m still far from being on their level. In the whole world, only a few players are,” Sane told German newspaper, Welt.

“Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and Hazard are on a level no one else can currently compete with. The achievements of Ozil and Cavani are incredible, too.

“I’m not that far yet. To be able to play with freedom, I mainly need fun. I don’t think and I don’t set specific goals for a game. I just let things happen. If I clear my mind, everything else just happens.”

Sane’s Manchester will be up against Cardiff City on Sunday in the FA Cup.
