Ronaldo fans still don't understand one basic thing: your favourite player doesn't necessarily have to be the best.
And these players are the perfect examples:
Son Heung-Min: Ronaldo is my idol, Messi is the GOAT.
Lamine Yamal: Neymar is my idol, but Messi is the GOAT.
Kylian Mbappé: Ronaldo was his idol growing up, yet he called Messi the best.
Erling Haaland: Ronaldo was his childhood idol, yet he called Messi the best ever.
Yan Diomande: Ronaldo is my idol, Messi is the best.
You can idolize someone and still recognize who the greatest is.
🚨🗣️ Mario Balotelli on Messi vs. CR7:
“I have huge respect for Ronaldo, but Messi is another thing. If you ask anyone who has played against or with both of them, believe me, they’ll tell you Messi is just on a completely different level!” 🇦🇷🐐
