No debate has divided football fans in the last decade like Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi.

The two are, without a doubt, two of the greatest footballers to grace the pitch, and it is hard to separate them.

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford gave his take years ago before he shared the field with Ronaldo.

Many felt the debate was settled when Messi won the 2022 World Cup, but that doesn't seem to be the case for Ronaldo fans. The Portuguese star has won everything but the World Cup.

Messi has won more Ballon d'Ors than the Al-Nassr superstar but has fewer goals. In 2018, Rashford said Messi is the GOAT.

“Some of the stuff that he does is unbelievable,” he said via Sportbible. “I’m a big fan of [Cristiano] Ronaldo as well, but I think Messi is the greatest ever.”

During the 2022 World Cup, after Ronaldo's unceremonious exit from Man United, Rashford hailed the former Real Madrid star.

"He's obviously one of my idols and someone I've always looked up to," he said via SuperSport. "So to have the opportunity to play with him is unbelievable and I'll take that with me and it's something that I can keep with me forever.

Ronaldo is 39 and hinted he could keep going, but it is unclear if he will play at the 2026 World Cup.

Bale picks between Ronaldo and Messi

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported that Real Madrid legend Gareth Bale has weighed in on the long-standing GOAT debate between Messi and Ronaldo.

Bale was recently asked to list his top five attacking players, and his choice between Messi and Ronaldo was particularly notable.

Buffon comments on GOAT debate

In another report, TUKO.co.ke reported that legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon made his pick in the GOAT debate.

The World Cup winner said both players are different, adding that Messi is complete while Ronaldo has the killer instinct.
