Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are currently in the final stages of their careers. Both have enjoyed over a decade-long rivalry and have garnered significant fame and glory. While La Pulga is currently living his difficult days with PSG, CR7 is playing on the outskirts of Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr.

Despite their geographical and domestic level differences, both are still compared with each other. And who is the GOAT among them has always been a hot discussion. The soccer world has been engaged in this famous debate for quite some time, but there’s no definite answer to it. However, many have chosen their GOAT accordingly. And it seems another player has joined team Ronaldo.

Bukayo Saka snubs Lionel Messi for Cristiano Ronaldo

Arsenal and Premier League superstar Bukayo Saka has made his decision between Ronaldo and Messi. The English superstar has expressed his love for the Portuguese superstar. The striker has revealed how the CR7’s tantalizing performances have made an impact on his soccer journey.

“The older I got, the more I fell in love with football,” Saka told in a feature interview on Arsenal’s official website. “I played a lot but watched a lot of football too. I used to love Cristiano Ronaldo. A lot of other kids my age used to love watching him as well. The different things he could do on the pitch, his skills. The way he took free kicks too, I think a lot of us used to try to emulate that.”

Indeed, his heartfelt words must have brought a smile to Ronaldo’s face. As for Messi, he may have started having second thoughts about Arsenal’s interest. The Gunners are exploring the possibility of signing the 35-year-old playmaker as his contract is set to expire with PSG.

Moreover, Mikel Arteta’s side is also hoping to rectify the mistake they made with Ronaldo. The 38-year-old had a chance to play at the Emirates, according to a shocking claim by Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan made a huge claim about CR7

After leaving Manchester United on bitter terms, Ronaldo actively sought potential clubs that could accommodate him. Surprisingly, among those clubs were his former club’s rivals, Arsenal. This came after the renowned journalist Piers Morgan, a fan of both Ronaldo and Arsenal, made claims that the striker was keen on joining Arsenal. But it was ultimately the Gunners who declined the opportunity.

Morgan even tweeted that Arsenal could have won the league if they had signed the 38-year-old superstar. “Mock all you like, but if we’d signed Ronaldo when he left Utd, until the end of the season – as he was keen to do btw – we would have won the League. He knows how to win major trophies, and how to score goals when it really matters,” he wrote.
