AC Milan and Netherlands legend Marco van
Basten has given his no-nonsense opinion on the Ronaldo-Messi 'GOAT'
comparison. Both players clearly stand out but fans tend to consider one better
than the other. Messi is a six-time Ballon d'Or winner, an award Ronaldo has
won a remarkable five times. Both veterans are having a fine season. Ronaldo
has scored 25 goals for Juventus across all competitions, and Messi, 23. Of the
23, Messi has scored 18 in 20 La Liga appearances. Ronaldo has scored 21 goals
in 21 Serie A appearances.
Van Baten
told Corriere della Sera, "Cristiano
Ronaldo is a great player, but those who
claim that he is better than Messi don't understand anything about
football or say it in bad faith.
"Messi is unique, inimitable and unrepeatable.
"Players like him appear every 50 or 100 years.
"As a child he fell into
the pot of football genius."
