Piers Morgan's interview with Cristiano Ronaldo on ITV on Tuesday night was well received but, having called the Juventus forward the greatest ever, Morgan has now had to do some backtracking about Lionel Messi.
Some people are team Ronaldo, others are team Messi and in a shock to everyone it seems that Good Morning Britain presenter Morgan likes to play both sides.
Before the interview Morgan recently took to Twitter to say that Juventus forward Ronaldo was 'indisputably' the greatest of all time.
However the 54-year-old (really he's that young?!) was caught out by a very eagle-eyed Twitter user. 'BecksFCB' found a tweet from 2012, which has now been deleted, calling Messi the GOAT.
It's fine for one to change their opinion of course but Morgan, as is his way, doesn't help himself by saying in the post about the Barca legend that 'any future debate is superfluous' and, you know, deleting the original post just to save face isn't a great look either- although it feels very on-brand for him.
It's been difficult to separate the two forwards as they've both grown to be arguably the best two players of all time, and at very least are in the conversation.
Between them they have won pretty much everything in the game, including five Ballon d'Ors each, and broken a ridiculous amount of records.
By the end of their careers we might be closer to working it out but it's likely just to come down to a matter of preference anyway.
It's also okay to change that preference, just don't pretend that you never had your original opinion and certainly don't make it sound like yours is the only one that matters, because you don't half look like a buffoon when you do that, just ask Piers.

allfootball is typically a barca media and if cr7 can still battle with messi fans here on allfootball then it's very clear cr7 is the goat.

How did we even get to this point were CR7 is been compared to Messi almost on the same level?its really a privilege for Cr7 and his fans.If not of mario Gotze 112min goal in the 2014 WC we could’ve not been having this same discussion.I support Messi becoz he is a genius who doesn’t hv luck.If u look at his carrier each time Barca has won the CL,they dominated football that year and mostly won other trophies like La Liga or Copa.On the other hand,the years were Barca has been eliminated from the CL if u noticed they lost just that single match all season.RM on the other hand has been winning their recent CL trophies through either luck,cheating.etc.look at the yrs were they won the treble,they didn’t impress in La Liga and it’s jst the CL that saves them not to have a blank season.Coming back to my point,This season Messi played his best football ever but u see the guy always don’t hv luck on his side,that’s why becoz of a single loss he can’t get the ballon he deserves.Cr7 on the other hand gets most of his trophies from the hard work of his teammates,that’s why I said before that his carrier has been full of luck rather than actual contribution.In 2014 CL final,he was lost,Ramos saved him,in 2016 griezman was the front runner for the ballon d’or all season,but in the last minute jst becoz RM won the CL and Portugal won the Euro wch Cr7 didn’t even participate,he was giving the ballon d’or.He (Cr7) is a goal machine,far from that he is a mediocre player who is so blinded by the love his fans give him to think he is the best.His greatest assets in his carrier has been his body looks,that’s what has brought him more fame and media attention.Thats why he always talks about « my number speaks for themselves ».KDB doesn’t hv numbers but he is regarded today as one of the best players,same as hazard,Neymar.etc.Even that those numbers he solely base Messi is still better than him.ex been he has jst 4 golden boots to Messi 6.To conclude I will beg on Cr7 fans to stop fooling him,coz u guys are the one that’s making him think he is so talented,and when he looks at his social media followers wch is so massive he things it’s becoz he is so great in the pitch.70% of his followers on social media are women who knw nothing abt soccer.They are there to see his nice looks.

CR, it is the best, but G.higuain is not a CR toy, I watched live live ATM vs juvintus last night, I tingo many opportunities for the ball to be washed off, the police deservedly fit C. C. tingo in chelsea, he continued to play there, if I were a club administrator, I didn't want G.higuain, so he could get rid of juvintus, G.higuain was not able to use it, I was so furious about G.higuain's toys, right at the beginning of the beginning, though not without owning the goal, but G.higuain does not require victory but defeat, G.higuain should not be joined by CR team ... he just joins the name C. Ronaldo as the world's best player ...

C. Ronaldo is the best, but G.higuain is the one who destroyed the toy C.Rolando, I watched the live broadcast of ATM vs juvintus, last night, I saw a lot of opportunities for the ball to be spared from higuan. you can't use it, you see his toys when he lent chelalsea chelsea, he kept on dying toys there, if I'm a club manager, I don't want G.higuain, so he can get rid of juvintus, G.higuain is not able to use, I am very angry G. Higuain, should be the beginning of the beginning of the period, although not without his own goal, but G. Higuain did not need the victory but defeat, G. Higuain should not be joined by CR team ... he only joined the name C. Ronaldo as the world's best player ...
