Ronaldo called Messi the greatest footballer of all time
Lionel Messi, the striker and captain of the Argentine national team, who is one of the top three scorers in the history of the FIFA World Cup, is the greatest player in history. This was announced on June 17 by the two-time world football champion in the Brazilian national team, Ronaldo.
"Every time Messi enters the field, the rest becomes historical and elegant. It's time for the world to stop hiding and accept the fact that he is the greatest player of all time," Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo quoted him as saying.
Accordingly, Ronaldo commented on the hat-trick scored by Messi in the match against Algeria, which allowed the Argentine to overtake him in the list of top scorers at the World Championships and catch up with German player Miroslav Klose — now both have 16 goals.
Ronaldo noted that records are created in order to be beaten and acknowledged that the Argentine national team holds the title of the reigning champion of the tournament.
The national team of Argentina defeated the team of Algeria. The game ended 3-0. Messi scored all the goals in the 17th, 60th and 76th minutes. The distinguished captain of the winners began to cry after his first goal in the current World Cup. Speaking to journalist Fabrizio Romano after the match, he explained that he had gone through several difficult days before the event.
Messi, for whom football, by his own admission, has been a passion since childhood, expressed gratitude to the delegation and his teammates, who were always there for him and helped him.
