Argentina player Ángel Di María recently gave an interview to Infobae, in which he discussed the comparison between his two teammates, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
What do you think about Cristiano calling himself the GOAT?
Di Maria: “It doesn’t surprise me. I played with him at Real Madrid for 4 years. He’s always been like this, striving to be the best. But unfortunately for him he was born in the wrong generation, because there was another chosen one.
“The final reality is there in the numbers, one has 8 Ballon d’Ors, the other 5, it’s quite a difference. Then there is Messi who won the World Cup which makes a huge difference, and another 2 Copa América’s as well.”
“For me there is no doubt, Lionel Messi is the best footballer in history.”

Di Maria...of course Messi is your country Man...what you say is what you supposed to said... if another player from Portugal then they asked him who is the best player in history football...of course he'll also choose Cristiano Ronaldo... So your choice is not surprising...but deep down in your mind you know very well that Ronaldo is the complete player and the goat 🐐

Achievement is not only the world cup nor the Ballo ndor but these two are incomparable Messi won the Ballon ndor 8, CR 7 won it 5 times , Messi won the copper America 1 and CR7 won the Europe 1 , Messi won world cup and CR7 hasn't but you can't say CR7 isn't the best just because he hasn't won it but has scored more goals than Messi. all in all the Biggest debate between these two gaints it's not the achievements but it's about the the fan base or the soccer fraternity to compare these two. Like others said Angel Di maria played with CR7 of which Di maria won the copper America and the world cup but he was not recognize to be the best does it mean that Angel Di maria isn't a good player? the answer no but we can compare to CR7 nor Messi the reason it's very simple.its all about different opinions between the two. as for me am the idol of CR7 but as for some they will definitely am the idol of Messi so that's how it goes at times nothing like CR7 was born in the wrong error

stop being delutional. Him he said with proves of numbers and facts whereas you are just speaking with the fantasy in your head. for your information there's no day Bernado Silva would say cr7 is better than Messi
