Debating the GOAT: Ronaldo vs Messi

Is the GOAT debate now over between Ronaldo and Messi?

If you want to say that the GOAT debate is

over now, because 41 year old Ronaldo is right at the end of his career

and Messi at the end of his career is better,

I think the debate happens in your prime. I don't think it happens when

one's almost retiring and the other one's getting close to it. I mean, Messi's

doing bloody brilliant, but I don't think the GOAT debate is decided by this.

I do have a preference because of Bias and Man United and Ronaldo played for us,

but the whole Messi Ronaldo debate is so boring.

It's like anybody with a brain knows that these are two of the

greatest players that will ever play the game and we were blessed to have them play

at the same time. Neither Messi nor Ronaldo would have hit the heights

they did if they didn't have the other one scoring a hat

trick the day before for Real Madrid or Barcelona. They literally pushed each other

for over a decade to levels they would never have achieved on their own. They would

have been great players, but if they had no one to push them, they

wouldn't have achieved. So I just almost feel

you don't get the best Messi if you don't have Ronaldo and you don't

get the best of Ronaldo if you don't have Messi. I see them as complementary.

You can choose who you prefer, but I see them as complementary.

I just enjoy the fact that they're still playing.
