“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.

“Ademola Lookman arrived with great enthusiasm and desire to keep growing. We need him to add defensive work to what he already gives us offensively, because he has that ability,” he then added.
“He’s shown it with the Nigeria national team, and we need him in that role.”
Former football legend Paul Merson states that Mohammad Salah is the greatest winger of all time.
While also praising Bukayo Saka for being the winger in form right now.
