Messi or Cristiano: Brazil legend Ronaldo makes his pick

The unending debate on who is the greatest player of all time (GOAT) rages on even after Lionel Messi won the last edition of the FIFA World Cup, the only accolade that was missing in the Argentine's trophy cabinet.

Many fans believe that the former Barcelona megastar's heroics in Qatar should put the GOAT debate to bed, but it turns out not to be the narrative.

In a recent interview, former Barcelona and Real Madrid striker Ronaldo Luís Nazário picked the Inter Miami star ahead of the Al Nassr captain when asked to choose between the two greatest players of this era.

Messi and Ronaldo have dominated world football over the past 15 years winning 13 Ballon d'Or awards between them - 8 awards for Argentine and 5 for the Portuguese.

Predicting the 2024 Euros to be hosted by Germany in his interview with Mail Sport, the Brazilian legend tipped the Spanish national team to win the title.

Spain last won the Euros in 2012 after dispatching current title holder Italy 4-0 in the grand finale.
