Obafemi Martins Picks Ronaldo Over Messi as His Greatest of All Time
Former Super Eagles star Obafemi Martins has picked Cristiano Ronaldo as his Greatest of All Time ahead of Lionel Messi.
Speaking on the Football Fans Tribe podcast, the former Newcastle and Inter Milan striker described Ronaldo as a machine, praising his ability to keep scoring goals despite his age.
Martins said, “I would choose Ronaldo. He’s a machine. He’s still playing and scoring goals. Playing in so many different countries is really hard.”
He also spoke about Messi’s calm personality, saying, “People love Messi because he is calm and doesn’t seem arrogant. But sometimes, as a footballer, you need a little arrogance to push yourself.”
During his career, Martins went head-to-head with both legends four times. He faced Messi when Rubin Kazan clashed with Barcelona in the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League group stage and played against Ronaldo during his time at Newcastle United in the Premier League.
