Son Heung-min doesn’t hide it: Cristiano Ronaldo is his lifelong idol 🐐

The South Korean forward, now at Los Angeles FC, spoke about the eternal question that divides the football world and was sincere to the very end. He said that the Portuguese player, at 41 years old, still plays as if he were 20, and that his love and passion for the game have inspired him since he was a child.

But just when it seemed he was going to leave it at that, he let slip the phrase no one expected: “There are things you have to admit. Messi is the best of all time. I can’t deny it”. Not even years of affection could overcome the numbers and history 🐐⚽
