Messi and Ronaldo have won six Ballons d'Or between them in the past six years - the former emerging victorious four times and the latter twice - and are widely regarded as the two best players around in the game at the moment.
The Portugal star has already netted 15 goals in seven Primera Division appearances this term compared to the Barca man's seven, yet Suarez believes that it is the Argentine who is the better of the two, irrespective of their record in 2014-15.
"In my opinion Leo is better [than Ronaldo]," Suarez was quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.
"I train and play with Leo every day and he surprises me every day. He is unique. Everybody knows what he has brought to Barcelona, what kind of world-class player he is.
“For me he is the best player in the world for what he has already done and he's still so young."
Messi and Ronaldo are set to lock horns on Saturday when Madrid host Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Clasico could be Suarez's first official game in the Barca jersey after serving his four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
