Evra Urge Fans To End Tɦe Ongoing rival Between Ronaldo And Messι foɾ tɦe GOAT
Patrice Evra is no longer relishing the incessant debate from fans on who is the greatest of all time between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The former Manchester United defender, who was teammates with Ronaldo at Old Trafford, admits it is a difficult decision to make between the two footballing titans.
Evra believes that both Ronaldo and Messi have achieved remarkable feats in their respective careers, making it impossible to definitively crown one as the greatest of all time.
The former Manchester United Patrice Evra has now weighed in on the debate, asserting that the comparison is not equitable and urging fans to cease the comparison.
Evra, though, noted that Argentina’s triumph helped their captain come out of the shadow of the late great Diego Armando Maradona. In his exclusive for Betfair, the former full-back wrote:
“By winning the World Cup, now Messi won’t live in the shadow of Diego Armando Maradona. For the Argentina fans, they will never forget Maradona, but Messi is the one now, he’s the best player in the world for them.”He emphasized that it is difficult for him to choose between Messi and Ronaldo, both of whom have achieved international success with their respective countries. People will always have varying opinions on the matter, making it a highly contentious issue.
“I can’t say he’s the best, I can’t say Cristiano Ronaldo is the best. I want people to stop this debate because everyone should have their opinion and everyone is different no matter what you achieve or win.”
“People will say he’s the GOAT now that Messi has won the World Cup, but others will say Ronaldo, because he has won the Euros. So it’s difficult, but winning the World Cup Messi will be the GOAT in the eyes of people, because it’s the ultimate prize.”
Ronaldo and Messi had contrasting campaigns at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. While the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) attacker scored seven goals and provided three assists and lifted the trophy, Ronaldo scored only once as Portugal were knocked out by Morocco in the quarterfinals.
