Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar Jr. are era-defining players. While Messi seems to have steered clear with his World Cup win, 7 Ballon d’Or trophies, and MLS move; CR7 and Neymar have reignited their rivalry thanks to their move to Saudi. While it’s hard to pick between those two talented players, the job has been made easy thanks to the duo’s rival.
Recently, Al-Fayhaa’s defensive midfielder made a media appearance, where he was asked to pick between CR7 and Neymar. While his pick of CR7 wasn’t shocking, what intrigued fans was the reason behind choosing the Portuguese, with many linking it with the 5x Ballon d’Or winner’s lie detector test results.

Earlier today, Bosnian defensive midfielder and Al-Fayhaa star Gojko Cimirot was part of a feature video where the 30-year-old was asked to choose between two options. One of the questions presented to the Bosnian was to choose one between Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Unsurprisingly, the 30-year-old chose CR7. The reason behind the pick, however, was the talking point as Cimirot chose the statistical route to reach his conclusion.
As per the Bosnian, the five-time Ballon d’Or has achieved every major laurel in soccer, “Ronaldo, because he achieved everything in football,” said Cimirot justifying his pick.

While many might agree with Cimirot’s statement, one simply cannot overlook the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo still hasn’t won the World Cup.
This major missing from CR7’s cabinet is the reason why many rank him lower than Messi. However, the 5-time Ballon d’Or doesn’t feel the miss as he ranks his 5 Champions League trophies above it.
