'Ronaldo talks a lot about Messi, he's only second'

Nicolas Pepe heated up the Messi - Ronaldo debate again when he expressed his frank opinion that CR7 is behind Leo, not even on the same level.

The Messi, Ronaldo debate never ends.

While many football stars chose to play it safe, Pepe made a metaphorical comparison that stirred up public opinion. In a recent interview, Pepe commented that Ronaldo was always obsessed with Messi, and that unintentionally exposed his position in the GOAT race (greatest player of all time - PV).

"Cristiano does a lot of interviews and often mentions Messi. And that shows he is number 2," said Pepe. The former Arsenal star also gave an example from the famous Dragon Ball Z series: "Ronaldo is like Vegeta, always talking about Goku. Messi is like Goku, quiet, but always on top."

Pepe even asserted that Messi is a player "no one on earth can look straight in the eye", meaning that no one has reached the same level of football. According to him, arguing based on statistics alone is misleading, because watching football in the true sense will see Leo on a completely different level.

Pepe also shockingly argued that Ronaldo is on the same level as Neymar, but still far behind Messi. "Messi slaps everyone in the face. He belongs to another world . There will never be a second Messi," Pepe emphasized. When asked if Neymar could be on par with Messi, Pepe immediately denied: "No, no. Messi slapped Neymar twice."

The bold comments immediately attracted attention. In a debate that has lasted more than a decade between two of modern football's greatest superstars, Pepe's views will likely continue to fuel an already heated debate.
