Soccer lovers are evident in the rivalry between the two superstars that have existed in the arena, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. While their fans argue for their icon’s supremacy in the sport, it would be difficult to decide who is the GOAT of football as both have over 650 goals. But bodybuilding legend Ronnie Coleman has a choice to make.

The King with eight Mr. Olympia titles is known for his terrific bodybuilding career and saddening health condition. However, Coleman never complains about his fate and keeps his fans updated about his life after retirement. He recently interacted with his fans for a question-and-answer session and confessed his favorite soccer player.

Ronnie Coleman chooses Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi

Ronnie Coleman is the bodybuilding beast who acquired the status of GOAT with his 8 Mr. O. titles. The retired bodybuilder often interacts with fans, and his recent Q&A session brought out a different side of the bodybuilder. From eating 33 pizza slices to his favorite soccer player, Coleman’s new video gave his fans a glimpse of his personal life.

A fan asked, “Messi or Ronaldo?” Coleman said, “That’s a good question.” The King opted for Ronaldo and said, “Since I’m not that messy, I’m gonna go with Ronaldo.” He further explained his choice: “Every now and then I’ll see my name online, and it’ll have Ronaldo, and that kind of looks like Ronaldo. That’s another reason why I like Ronaldo. It kind of reminds me of me.“

So this reflects that Coleman doesn’t suggest the on-field supremacy of the soccer superstars but adds why he resonates with Ronaldo and not Messi, who is the highest-paid athlete on American soil.

Lionel Messi’s recent collaboration

Football fans are thrilled to witness the announcement of Lionel Messi playing for Inter Miami. The deal makes Messi the highest-paid athlete to exist in the country.

To bring Messi on board, Inter Miami owner David Beckham curated a distinct contract that has a substantial salary, Apple and Adidas profit-sharing agreement. While the other teams were frustrated about the deals, fans celebrated their idol’s landmark decision.
