Arjen Robben, a former Chelsea winger, has picked Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo in the Greatest player Of All Time (GOAT) debate.
According to Robben, Messi doesn’t use tricks, adding that the Argentina international does everything on the pitch of play quickly.
Messi and Ronaldo are widely regarded as two of the best players in the history of football.
The pair have won 13 Ballon d’Or awards among themselves.
Addressing the debate on the TOUZANI YouTube channel, Robben said (via Mirror):
“You mentioned a few really big names who are very good at it. When I talk about it with the guys. The best ever. The best. Truly the absolute absolute absolute best ever, I always ask ‘does he use tricks?’
“And then the answer is no. Messi of course, he doesn’t have tricks up his sleeve. He just does everything quickly. He has control, speed, agility.”
