When someone talks about the debate of who is the best player in history, it is impossible that two names are not mentioned: Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Little by little this debate has come to an end due to the age of both players and a clear differentiating factor: the number of Ballon d'Or wins. The former Real Madrid star came to tie the Argentine on five, although the Inter Miami player finally distanced himself from the Portuguese after winning three more, including the eighth he lifted on Monday night.
No doubt many people asked what the Al Nassr player thought about Messi, who for some people was not a deserving winner of the award due to Haaland's historic season, having lifted the prize once again.
Finally, the Portugal international surprised everyone by commenting on an instagram post by the newspaper 'As' in which one of its journalists, Tomas Roncero, seriously criticised Messi and called it unfair that he had been crowned the best in the world. However, the Portuguese gave his opinion in an ironic and tense way: four laughing emojis.
