According to him, there have been many greats like Diego Maradona, Alfredo Di Stefano and Johann Cruyff, who have played the game.

“There have been so many wonderful players… Maradona, Di Stéfano, Cruyff.. I don’t know.”

There was speculation prior to the World Cup in Qatar that whosoever wins the trophy between  Lionel Messi and Ronaldo would put the  GOAT debate to bed.

However, Messi reached the finals and won the trophy, he also finished as tournament’s Most Valuable Player, (MVP)

But some football fanatics are still of the belief that Messi is not the greatest of all time despite winning the World Cup.
