“Thanks to the Fall-Out” – Cristiano Ronaldo Fanatic Piers Morgan Divulges Why CR7 Has an “Edge” Over Lionel Messi After World Record Transfer

It is often debated that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the two best soccer players in the world. This debate has been going on for almost two decades now, and the world is still split between these two. But one person who is not in a dilemma is sports journalist Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan is a well-known Cristiano Ronaldo fanatic. He has vouched for the Portuguese star on several occasions and has even indulged in a few interviews with Ronaldo. It is one of these controversial interviews that led to Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United back in November.

This led to Ronaldo signing with Al Nassr in a record-breaking $200 million deal. Morgan believes that the Portuguese star has an “edge” over the Argentine rival. Despite Lionel Messi playing for one of the biggest clubs, PSG, and winning a World Cup, Piers morgan still believes Ronaldo is better than Messi.

Piers Morgan’s statement on Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi

Morgan’s belief stems from a few key factors. First, Morgan believes that the controversial interview Ronaldo gave was a boon for the star. In an interview with Tatler Morgan stated, “Thanks to the fall-out from our interview, Ronaldo signed the biggest transfer deal in football history, and is now the world’s highest-paid athlete, at the age of 37”.

Second, Morgan believes Cristiano Ronaldo is better because he is following his ideology of not staying in his comfort zone. “He’s also doing what he’s done throughout his career, and which for me gives him the edge over Messi, and that’s challenge himself in a new country, and new league, at a time when football in the Middle East is really taking off, as we saw at the Qatar World Cup where Morocco reached the semi-finals and Saudi Arabia beat the eventual winners, Messi’s Argentina,” Morgan said.

Piers Morgan’s belief that Ronaldo is superior to Lionel Messi is based on the following factors: Ronaldo’s willingness to take on new challenges. And also the fact that soccer is experiencing growth in countries like Saudi Arabia should not be underestimated. It’s undeniable that there’s some bias in these statements. As he is known to have a good relationship with Ronaldo and has been critical of Lionel Messi on multiple occasions.
