The England legend made a choice between Messi and Ronaldo

Former England footballer,Gary Lineker,answered the “eternal” question who, in his opinion, is the best player in the world in recent years - Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi or Al-Nasr forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the Briton, he chooses the side of the Argentine footballer.

"Messi is now certainly considered the greatest player of all time. There are people who compare him to Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of performance. But in my opinion, no one can match Messi in the way they delight us with their performances," Lineker said in a BBC interview.

It is reasonable to remind that Messi moved to the American club in the summer of 2023 as a free agent, signing an agreement until 2025. Last season, the captain of the Argentina national team played 14 matches for Inter Miami, in which he scored 11 goals and provided 5 assists.

On October 30, the awards ceremony based on the results of the last season took place. Predictably, the Golden Ball was awarded to Lionel Messi. For him, this was already the seventh similar award in his career.
