Tuesday, March 12, 2024 - Brazilian football legend, Ronaldo has weighed in on the debate over who between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi deserves to be considered the greatest player of his generation.
Speaking exclusively to Mail Sport this
weekend, the two-time World Cup winner picked Messi when he was asked to choose
between the Argentine and Ronaldo.
It is not the first time the Brazilian has
endorsed Messi.
Back in October ahead of the Ballon d'Or
ceremony, Ronaldo said the former Barcelona and Paris
Saint-Germain star deserved the award after leading Argentina to lift the
World Cup in 2022.
'The Ballon d'Or should go to him [Lionel
Messi], without a doubt,' he said.
'What Messi did in the World Cup was
special. It reminded me of the campaigns of Pelé and Maradona.'
Messi duly picked up the Ballon d'Or for a record eighth
time, beating Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
