"I would vote for him 100 times!" Zidane settles the greatest of all time debate
Zinedine Zidane has delivered an unequivocal verdict on football's greatest individual debate.
Details: Legendary French midfielder and former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has left no room for doubt regarding his stance on Lionel Messi's legacy. Speaking about the Ballon d'Or and the debate over the greatest footballer in history, the 1998 world champion expressed unreserved admiration for the Argentine maestro.
"I would vote 100 times for Messi,"
Zidane stated boldly, dismissing any lingering arguments regarding the highest individual accolades in the game.
The former Los Blancos tactician went even further, directly questioning the footballing understanding of anyone who still doubts the Argentine's supremacy:
"If someone still has doubts about who the greatest footballer of all time is, then that person has no place in the football community."
It is worth noting that Lionel Messi remains the most decorated player in the history of the sport with eight Ballon d'Or awards to his name, while Zinedine Zidane himself claimed the prestigious honor back in 1998.
Reminder: Twenty years at the top! Messi sets a Ballon d'Or record that may never be broken
