KSI claims the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate would end after the FIFA World Cup

The 29-year-old seems to favor the Argentine superstar Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo. But like every other LM 10 fan, he couldn’t solidify his answer to this debate as Messi never won a World Cup. But Argentina winning against Croatia and moving to finals have gotten Olatunji closer to proving Messi is the best.

One of the key figures behind Argentina’s great run in the World Cup is Messi. The Barcelona legend has taken his nation to the finals and is only a match away from lifting the World Cup. Meanwhile, his greatest rival Ronaldo saw the exit after a crushing defeat against Morocco in the quarter-finals.

Fans, as usual, had mixed reactions to Olatunji’s claim

Fans were divided in the comments section of this tweet from KSI. The Messi fans claimed the Argentine has already proved his worth long ago. Meanwhile, Ronaldo fans hailed the Portuguese superstar as the “Greatest of All Time” in the comments, as he dominated in different soccer leagues. Let’s look at some reactions.
