For over a decade now, the argument/debate surrounding arguably the two of football greatest talents of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, on who’s the greatest amongst the duo has remained unresolved and unending, and doesn’t even look to do so in the nearest future.
Meanwhile, at one point or the other, each of them has had their glorious moments at different times, such that you may be forced to hastily take side at each of these times.
Well, in the midst of this unending argument and debate, popular and highly revered U.S based Nigerian investigative Journalist, activist and author, David Hundeyin has left tongue wagging once more with his choice of who should be crowned the best or greatest between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
While David shared a video clip of a goal by Lionel Messi for Inter Miami, MLS, USA, via his verified Twitter handle, appreciating the great talent in the former Barcelona star, and equally appreciating the fact that he personally witnessed the football era that birthed all these great talents. And almost immediately, someone quickly posed a question to him, seeking to have his personal opinion on who’s a better player between Messi and Ronaldo.
“David, we all know you are an honest guy. At least I know. Ronaldo or Messi? Be honest abeg,” @Nnakajude commented on the post in question.
In a seemingly quick response, David wrote, “I personally prefer CR7. Not because he’s a better footballer than Messi (I think they’re equal), but because I think his clutch moments and winning mentality are unmatched in the history of the professional game.”
Expectedly, the response from David triggered yet another set of mixed reactions, with Messi’s fans dragging the living day light out of members of the opposing camp, and vice versa. Meanwhile, as long as the round leather game exists and the world remains, the argument and debate between who’s the best, better or greatest amongst Ronaldo and Messi will never end. Take these words to the bank!
