The age-old debate of Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo has received another vote, this time from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
Both Messi and Ronaldo have dominated football for over a decade, collecting an astonishing amount of goals and trophies for club and country.
Even as they’ve moved on from Europe’s top leagues – Ronaldo to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and Messi to Inter Milan in MLS – their legacies remain undeniable. However, Arteta has a clear preference.
He recently declared Messi the “best player of all time,” a sentiment echoed by his three sons who idolize the Argentinian magician. This adds another layer to the ongoing discussion of who truly reigns supreme in the footballing world.
