Alejandro Garnacho Breaks Silence on the GOAT Debate Between Cristiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi

His brilliant gameplay aside, Manchester United‘s Alejandro Garnacho has always turned heads for his stance on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Garnacho grew up idolizing CR7. He recently emulated his idol with an acrobatic goal followed by his iconic celebration. Meanwhile, the 19-year-old, hailing from Argentina, also has the utmost respect for Messi. He uses the ‘goat’ emoji in his posts, praising the veteran’s exploits. That’s what makes his stance on the GOAT debate quite unclear. Yet again, Garnacho has given his two cents on it. But is there any clarity this time?

Compatriots do not entertain his appreciation of CR7. Likewise, his massive praises on Messi have not gone well with the Portugal captain’s fans. Hence, the youngster now seemed to have resorted to diplomacy while making the choice.

Garnacho boldly claimed greatness for both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi!

On a recent stream, viral content creator and Cristiano Ronaldo fanatic, IShowSpeed asked Alejandro Garnacho to choose between Messi and Ronaldo. “They both great bro, they both great,” the winger claimed. From the looks of it, the 19-year-old wanted to play it safe with such an answer. Perhaps he might be quite exhausted with the vitriol that comes from his GOAT stance from the fanbase. However, IShowSpeed was visibly unhappy with Garnacho’s wise move. Seeing the influencer’s gesture, Garnacho didn’t sit quiet but started questioning him.

He asked why Speed thought the Al Nassr captain was better than the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner. The streamer replied that CR7 consistently delivers spectacular performances, but Lionel Messi falls short of doing so. Anyhow, Garnacho’s conversation with IShowSpeed won’t attract infamy. But that was not the case during the last few times the Manchester United teen spoke anything about the two icons.

Times when Alejandro Garnacho stirred controversy with his take

Alejandro Garnacho has had the privilege of playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo during his first season in the senior team. After CR7 once powered the Red Devils to victory, the Argentine took to social media and called the former, ‘greatest of all time.’ This did not sit well with his compatriot Sergio Aguero. The Manchester City legend said Garnacho took this stance because he has never played with Leo Messi. Besides, Rio Ferdinand’s son had claimed that Lionel Messi unfollowed the 19-year-old after he imitated CR7’s celebration.

Anyhow, the Manchester United starlet’s latest shouldn’t attract any sour reactions.
