Messi or Ronaldo? One of the questions that to this day divides the world.
And Romário, the former Brazilian player famous for stirring up a fuss every time he makes an appearance, has just given his verdict on the matter.
“Were you better than Cristiano Ronaldo?”, they asked him.
“Yes”, he said, making it clear that he was below Messi, but better than Ronaldo.
He was then asked why he believed the Portuguese was below the Argentine, to which Romário replied:
“Because Messi, in my opinion, is a guy who was born with that gift. It’s innate, he… Everything he has, he already had from the moment he was born. Cristiano became one of the greatest in the world over the course of his career. In other words, his professionalism made him become who he is. But technically, for example, no, you can’t even compare them”.
