I would have Messi than Ronaldo - Asamoah Gyan settles GOAT debate

Published on: 18 January 2023

Ghana football legend, Asamoah Gyan, has insisted he would pick Lionel Messi in his team than Cristiano Ronaldo.

The two players have dominated European football for the past decade.

Gyan, a former Black Stars captain speaking in an interview said Messi is naturally gifted while Ronaldo could perform well without training.

"For me, I feel Messi is gifted. You need Messi in your team more than Ronaldo. I admire Ronaldo because of his hard work. He has really worked hard to get to where he is. He is someone who can't go two days without training because he would feel he can't play anymore but Messi can sit for two weeks and do a little shake-up and will still perform. So there is that difference," he told Dan Kwaku Yeboah TV.

He further stated why he would rather have Messi on his team than Ronaldo.

"I think Messi will be better in my team because he can take five players out easily," he explained.

They both have won every trophy available and set numerous records throughout their careers. The only trophy separating the two is the World Cup.

Messi completed the set with the World Cup trophy when he led Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
