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.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
