Even after they stop playing football, the argument about who is the greatest player of all time will continue between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for years to come.
The majority of football fans across the world have long desired a final between Portugal and Argentina as that will help them end the debate on who is the greatest player between them.
Former Man United player, Cristiano Ronaldo was speaking in an interview which was reported on the official website of Sportbible.
When Lionel Messi won the FIFA World Cup, the question of who was the greatest player among them was put to him. The discussion will go on, according to the Portuguese international, regardless of the World Cup winner.
“Even if I win the World Cup that will continue. Some people like me more, some less. It’s like in life, some like blondes, some like brunettes. I have always had to show what I can do year after year. I would love to win this tournament. I am ambitious but if you tell me I won’t win any more tournaments I would still be happy given all I have won. In the history books, all other records will be there. But obviously, a World Cup on the shelf wouldn’t be bad. It would be a dream.”
In the tournament’s final match, Messi helped Argentina defeat France on penalties to win the Qatar 2022 World Cup, while Portugal was eliminated by Morocco in the quarterfinals.
