MADRID: The debate over who is the greatest footballer of all time — Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi — continues to divide fans as both legends near the end of their illustrious careers.
Portugal captain Ronaldo recently ventured into content creation on YouTube, launching his channel "UR - Cristiano", which has already amassed an impressive 72.1 million subscribers, proving his enduring popularity both on and off the pitch.
Ronaldo's entry into YouTube gained immediate traction, particularly through his collaboration with renowned content creator Mr. Beast.
In one of their videos, they featured a series of unique challenges, including attempting to save Ronaldo's penalty kicks.
The most talked-about moment occurred when Mr. Beast's associate, Nolan Hansen, jokingly claimed that Ronaldo was not the greatest of all time (GOAT) and that Messi was far superior.
Ronaldo responded with hearty laughter, playfully retorting, "Who says Messi is better than me?"
The clip quickly went viral on social media, sparking a wave of reactions from fans of both players.
While many viewed the exchange as light-hearted banter, it reignited the age-old debate over the supremacy of these two footballing icons.
Ronaldo now plays for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, while Lionel Messi is with David Beckham's Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. - Agencies
