Ex-Real Madrid Star Names Messi As GOAT Over Ronaldo

Former Real Madrid star Julio Baptista recently shared his thoughts on the age-old debate about who the greatest footballer of all time (GOAT) is.

In an interview with Oddspedia, Baptista leaned towards Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo.

He commended both players for their incredible talents but slightly favored Messi, citing their fierce rivalry in La Liga between Barcelona and Real Madrid as a testament to their greatness.

Baptista emphasized Messi’s genius, pointing to his eight Ballon d’Or wins as evidence of his exceptional skill.

In his words;

“Both Lionel and Cristiano Ronaldo are incredible players. But I would rate Messi slightly higher.”

“I think because they both played in the same league for Real Madrid and Barcelona, it created an incredible rivalry.”

“There was so much expectation of them and they have both delivered. Ronaldo is unbelievable but Messi is a genius, winning Ballon d’Or eight times says it all.”

“They are the best players of the last 20 years and probably in the history of football.”
