Former teammate compares Ronaldo with Messi

Chiesa when playing alongside Ronaldo.

Chiesa shared: “I played with Cristiano Ronaldo and it was a great experience. Both Ronaldo and Leo Messi are the best players in football history. But if I had to choose one, I would say Messi is the greatest player."

Chiesa's views once again sparked an already heated debate in the football community about who deserves the GOAT title. Ronaldo has repeatedly claimed to be the best player of all time, but many of his teammates and stars who have faced him have special respect for Messi.

Chiesa's statement came just days after Ronaldo's interview with journalist Piers Morgan. Here, CR7 also talked about the comparison between him and Messi: "I don't agree [that Messi is better]. I don't want to be humble."

Chiesa played alongside Ronaldo at Juventus. After CR7 left in 2021, Chiesa also said goodbye to the Serie A club in the summer of 2024 to join Liverpool. This season, the Italian striker scored 2 goals in 11 appearances in all competitions.

The debate about the GOAT between Messi and Ronaldo seems to last for many more years, as both have renewed their contracts with their respective clubs. Although they are no longer in their prime, these two superstars are still irreplaceable pillars.

Ronaldo jumps up and down to celebrate his goal. Striker Cristiano Ronaldo had a funny celebration after scoring a double against Al Fayha in round 7 of the Saudi Pro League in the early morning of November 2.
