Former Bayern Munich and Chelsea legend, Arjen Robben has rated Argentina international Lionel Messi above Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo as he dived into the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) debate.
Over the years, there has been an endless debate about who is the GOAT between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Even though the two players are in the twilight of their respective careers and no longer playing in Europe, the debate has remained a constant part of football discussions.
Many believe that since Messi has won everything in the world of football, including the FIFA World Cup, which Ronaldo has yet to win, he should be crowned the GOAT of football. But Ronaldo’s fans won’t give up on the debate that easily.
Recently, Arjen Robben, who was one of the best wingers of his generation, was forced into the discussion when he appeared on TOUZANI’s YouTube channel.
In his response to the debate, Robben emphasized Messi’s style, highlighting that the Argentine star doesn’t rely on tricks but instead executes his plays with remarkable speed and precision.
He said, “You mentioned a few really big names who are very good at it. When I talk about it with the guys. The best. The best. He is truly the absolute, absolute, absolute best; I always ask, ‘Does he use tricks?’
“And then the answer is no. Messi, of course, doesn’t have tricks up his sleeve. He just does everything quickly. He has control, speed, agility.”
