Mascherano Picks Messi Over Ronaldo as the Greatest Footballer in History
Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano has firmly backed Lionel Messi as the greatest footballer of all time, placing him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the long-standing GOAT debate.
Messi and Ronaldo have dominated football for nearly two decades, setting records and pushing each other to new heights. While Messi now plays in the MLS with Inter Miami, Ronaldo continues his career in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr.
Despite both players nearing the end of their careers, their rivalry remains as intense as ever. When asked to choose between the two during a press conference, Mascherano didn’t hesitate.
“You don’t even need to ask,” he said. “Messi is the greatest player in history. There will never be another like him—it’s impossible. He has spent 20 years at the top, scoring and performing. Even if you put him in defence, he’d be the best defender. I’ve seen it myself.”
Mascherano, who played alongside Messi for years, made it clear that in his eyes, there’s no debate.
Nigerian footballer, Ademola Lookman speaks on Nigeria’s Bronze from the Afcon game.
It can be recalled that the country won the medal after their victory against Egypt.
Lookman stated during an interview “Everyone wanted to win the gold medal. We came for the trophy, but it didn’t happen.”
“We leave the tournament with the bronze medal, and that is enough.”
Moroccan player Brahim Díaz speaks after his missed penalty that resulted in the country’s defeat to Senegal.
The player expressed how sad he was about the missed penalty and blames himself. “My soul hurts. I dreamed of this title because of all the love you guys have given me, every message and every act of support that made me feel like I wasn’t alone.”
“I gave my all, with my heart leading the way. I messed up yesterday, and I’m fully responsible for it. I’m really sorry for what happened.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
