Lionel Messi is the ONLY G.O.A.T in World Football, the other one is now a sheep and the heated debate as to who is the best must end. Fans of Cristiano Ronaldo must now be humble enough to say, we do not have what it takes to contest Messi any longer.
However, if Cristiano Ronaldo and his fans are still dreaming of being part of the G.O.A.Ts in town, they must first win the World Cup then the two players can be deemed to be nearly equal. Remember when that all people had against Messi was his lack of an international legacy.
Messi has been decorated with all the trophies the world football soccer star will want to win. Maradona didn’t win Copa America, Pele didn’t win European titles, Ronaldo didn’t win UCL, Cryuff didn’t win the World Cup, Cristiano didn’t win the World Cup but the legend and the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T) Lionel Messi won it all.
This still feels unreal.

Lionel Messi is the ONLY GOAT in World Football
The Argentine number 10 shirt is now the heaviest shirt in football now after Messi won the FIFA World Cup.
Interesting information from Barcelona FC fans is that they are calling on the team to do everything to bring back Messi and are ready to contribute to raising the needed funds to buy him back.
