I'd have been at Messi and Ronaldo's level if I was more committed - Sneijder

The Dutch veteran is adamant he could have pushed himself to be one of the very best in the game but has no regrets he didn't

Wesley Sneijder believes he could have been mentioned in the same breath as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo if he was more committed.

The 35-year-old retired as a player in August after hanging up his boots following a stint in Qatar with Al-Gharafa.

Across a decorated career that saw him play for Ajax, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Galatasaray and Nice, Sneijder won domestic titles with each and also lifted the Champions League in 2010.
