John Terry Picks Messi in the Ronaldo-Messi GOAT Debate
In the ongoing debate over who holds the title of the greatest footballer of all time (GOAT) between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, former Chelsea legend John Terry has weighed in with his preference.
Having shared the football pitch with both Ronaldo and Messi during their illustrious careers, Terry seems to lean towards Messi in the GOAT discussion. Terry expressed his admiration for Messi’s skill by commenting on a UEFA post showcasing one of Messi’s remarkable goals for Barcelona against Manchester United in 2009.
The featured goal, dating back to Messi’s time with Barcelona under Pep Guardiola, depicts the Argentine star executing a stunning header with a sideways leap. Messi’s prowess with the ball proved insurmountable for the Manchester United goalkeeper, resulting in a 2-0 victory for Barcelona, with Samuel Eto’o contributing the opening goal in the 10th minute.
Terry’s endorsement of Messi’s greatness adds another layer to the enduring debate surrounding these two football icons. The discussion continues among fans, critics, and former players, each contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the legacy of Ronaldo and Messi in the world of football.
