Newly signed Manchester united player Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that Lionel Messi as the greatest player he has faced in his playing career, Newspremises reports.


Ronaldo revealed this in an interview with former CNN host, Piers Morgan.

Over the international break, the 36-year-old became the men’s leading international goalscorer of all time, following his match-winning brace against Ireland.

The Ronaldo-Messi ‘GOAT’ debate will last for years, but the Portugal captain has the utmost respect for Messi’s talent.

Morgan wrote in the Mail on Sunday: “‘Who’s the greatest footballer you’ve ever played against?’ I asked Cristiano Ronaldo.

“It was 1am on the candlelit terrace of his favourite restaurant in Turin, Italy, where he was still playing for Juventus before his recent sensational decision to rejoin Manchester United.

It was time for the big question. ‘Messi,’ he replied, immediately and emphatically.

“Really?” I said, surprised that he would name his biggest rival.

“For sure. He is the best I’ve played against.”

The Fake GOAT confirms the Original GOAT

wahala...

Ronaldo is a goat no dispute in this but Messi is much better because he is a team player. Ronaldo prefer personal glory more than the group glory... Messi believes in the group and that with the group personal glories will come. That's why u will see Ronaldo winning top scorer atimes without winning the league.

BILLY-GOAT vs NANNY-GOAT

Mention me once this post enter promise land

No big deal here if Messi is asked same question I believe he will say Rinaldo too....

He can never forget the only true Goat that dribbled him and made him go down on his two knees.

The only true Goat that always defeats him from winning the Champions league. The few times he won the Champions league was because he was very lucky to not meet Messi on the way.

The wannabe ewu recognizes the GOAT.


Things we love to see


Sha, lemme know

Like for GOAT, Share for Crotone-man

Definitely, Messi should be the greatest he has ever played against, just like Ronaldo is the greatest that Messi has ever played against....they are top 2 and they don't play in the same team....

His minions will soon read a different meaning to it as we already know they are demented like the on thats above me that calls himself a unfemale dog

Same thing Messi would have said.........meanwhile, the other greats didn't play in their time so his response is accurate.
