Manchester City and Spain midfielder Rodri, who was honored with the Ballon d’Or at a glamorous ceremony in Paris last month, has shared his thoughts on who he believes is the true GOAT of the game.
Rodri, who is currently recovering from knee surgery, discussed his views during an interview with Spanish TV program El Hormiguero on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Reflecting on the ongoing debate over who is the greatest player of all time, the Spaniard firmly believes in Messi’s superiority, while also offering a critical assessment of Ronaldo’s skills.
He said, “Lionel Messi is the greatest player of all time, without any doubt.
“Cristiano has managed to match Messi without innate talent. But those of us who have played against them can see the difference.”
The midfielder highlighted the different challenges of playing against the two football legends, pointing out that Messi was a more dominant force on the pitch.
He said, “With Cristiano, we didn’t want him to step into the box because he was lethal there.
“But with Messi, the danger was everywhere on the pitch.”
Rodri’s remarks have ignited a wide-ranging debate among fans, with many interpreting his statements as a critique of Ronaldo’s innate abilities.
