“I’d Rather Chew on Wood Than Watch Him”: Angry Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi Superfans Clash in Heated Argument

Football is nothing without the fans as they form the bane of an industry that is perhaps one of the largest in the world. The star power of superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is proof of the widespread control football has over the minds of the fans.

Ronaldo and Messi are two of the greatest players of all time, and their fans have fought for years to prove who is the better player of the two. Champions League goals, international trophies, dribbling, passing, nothing gets ignored in the debate, and every argument is different, and SportBIBLE tried to get two people to give theirs.

The Cristiano Ronaldo fan explains why he prefers the Portuguese forward

The Instagram page posted a video on their account where a Messi fan and a Ronaldo fan sat down to argue about who is the better player. The Ronaldo fan called both Messi and Ronaldo the greatest players of all time and said that Ronaldo’s international performances and UCL wins will matter more in the future.

“I’m categorically certain it’s Cristiano, because of some of the things that he has done in the Champions  League and Internationally. He (Lionel Messi) has done great things, but the things Cristiano has done are gonna be talked about more in the future, and what he’s done for his team and where he’s dragged them,” the fan said.

The Lionel Messi fan responds

The Messi fan was taken aback and disagreed. He called Ronaldo the second-best goalscorer of all time but said that he would rather torture himself than watch Ronaldo play. Moreover, the Messi fan also added that he would rather watch Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva play rather than watch Cristiano Ronaldo.

“He’s the second-best goalscorer ever, behind Lionel Messi. He’s a ridiculous goalscorer, but as a player, I’d rather chew on wood than watch him play. He’s abysmal to watch. I’d rather watch someone like Bernardo Silva than him. He excites me, gets me out of my chair,” the Messi fan replied.

Things got more heated when the Ronaldo fan claimed that Ronaldo was as good of a dribbler as Messi ever was, and things unraveled from thereon. Reaching a conclusion in this debate is one of the hardest things to do, as fans rarely change their opinion, and these two fans stuck to their guns too.
