🚨🎙️ John Terry: “Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?”
Eden Hazard:
“I played for Real Madrid, so if I say Messi, they’ll kill me! 😅 But I have to say Messi.
It’s almost 50-50, but for me, the way Messi plays is superior. I wasn’t a player like Messi, but my style was always closer to his than Cristiano’s.
That’s why I choose Messi.”
🚨 Back in 2022, Pep Guardiola reportedly faced a choice between Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips when strengthening Manchester City's midfield.
The City boss is said to have chosen Phillips, believing the Leeds United midfielder offered a superior passing range and was more effective at scanning the pitch and reading the game.
It's a decision that looks very different in hindsight.
