Julio Baptista, a forward for Arsenal, has ranked Cristiano Ronaldo above Lionel Messi as the best football player of all time.
According to Baptista, Ronaldo has always been the greatest of all time, surpassing even Messi, his enduring opponent.
According to the former attacking midfielder for Sevilla, the Portuguese king of goals had a more challenging career but still had a lot of success.
The former Real Madrid player also asserted that the Portuguese superstar outperformed the Argentine in terms of leagues.
“If I had to choose, I think I would have to take into account the fact that it was harder for Cristiano,” he told FootballItalia, as reported by Desporto AO Minuto.
“At Manchester United, he won the Champions League, which was a little more challenging, and was voted the best player in the world.”
Cristiano played in a variety of locations, but Messi was always surrounded by talented players. Therefore, in my opinion, Cristiano’s actions were more difficult than Messi’s.
“Ronaldo’s resume is more varied, and I believe we should recognize that and award him as the greatest of all time.”
While Ronaldo, a former player for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, has scored 32 goals and supplied four assists in 35 matches this season, Messi has scored eight goals and contributed three assists in ten games for Inter Miami.
