When it comes to soccer, everyone holds a different opinion and defends their favorite player. Regardless, fans’ love for the game always remains the same, just with different jerseys. The most controversial topic in soccer history is who’s the better player: Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
This is a debate that will never have a favorable answer. There are many statistics that favor each of them. However, the victor always depends on what a fan compares with. With both the maestros in their final years as professional athletes, it is never late to accept the fact that the two of them have completely changed the face of soccer with their talent and hard work, and a comparison is not always necessary.
However, Messi and Ronaldo have indeed raised the bar. With their accomplishments being deemed unachievable, there are rarely any players who can dethrone them. But there are definitely a select few who can be a threat. Interestingly, a famous Twitch Streamer, xQc, might have broken some fans’ hearts by ending the long debate of Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mbappé has established an enormous fanbase all thanks to his amazing performance and soccer talent. Furthermore, he won the FIFA World Cup 2018 and the UEFA Nations League 2020/21 playing for France. On top of that, he also beat Lionel Messi’s record by becoming the youngest player to reach 30 Champions League goals.
On the other hand, Erling Haaland is a goalscoring machine who is breaking records left and right. While Mbappe is breaking Ronaldo and Messi’s records, Haaland is taking it a step further by breaking the Frenchman’s records. Although he cannot match the 24-year-old forward’s trophy cabinet, he can surely challenge his goal records. Interestingly, it looks like xQc is also one of those who already believe these rising talents to surpass the GOATs.
During the latest live stream, fans asked xQc about his opinion of Ronaldo being better than Messi. While the question was favoring Messi, xQc shocked everyone by saying, “If you think either of them is the best, then you’re also a fu*king moron.” Adding more to the surprise, xQc favored Mbappé and Haaland. This left the viewers shocked and in a state of frenzy. Felix’s response was, ” Mbappé better + L, Haaland better + L. ”
Well, both Mbappé and Haaland have amused the soccer community with their phenomenal performance. Moreover, they are also claimed to be the rising soccer stars that may overshadow Ronaldo and Messi in the future. However, saying that Mbappé and Haaland have already reached the level of Messi and Ronaldo is a bit of an overstatement as these two have only started their careers.
