Frank Lampard Declares Messi and Ronaldo Equal in Greatness
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has expressed his belief that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are on equal footing in the realm of football greatness.
In a recent interview with Diario AS, the former midfielder emphasized that neither player should be considered superior to the other.
Lampard, who faced both superstars during his career, acknowledged their extraordinary talents and contributions to the sport.
He noted that he has played against Ronaldo numerous times, particularly during the latter’s tenure at Manchester United, while also facing Messi in several memorable matches between Chelsea and Barcelona.
When discussing Messi, Lampard remarked, “For me individually, in terms of talent, he is probably the greatest ever in my opinion.”
However, he also praised Ronaldo for his impressive work ethic, dedication, and remarkable goal-scoring record.
“What he has done in terms of self-improvement, numbers, and hunger means they are just there together,” Lampard stated.
The football icon stressed the importance of respecting both players equally, stating, “It’s not fair to try and put one above the other.
They’ve been the most amazing players.” With such high praise, Lampard joins the many who recognize the unique talents and achievements of both Messi and Ronaldo as they continue to shape the landscape of football history.
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf speaks on recent league matches and names two clubs that can really challenge Arsenal this season, Manchester City and Chelsea.
During a recent interview when speaking about Arsenal, he shared “They are still the big favourites [for the title], but they will have to prove it. They lost four points against Sunderland and Chelsea. Manchester City are back, Chelsea are still there.”
“We will have the winter period, which will start very soon, so let’s see,” he said.
