Messi is better than Ronaldo -Etebo

Nigeria midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo has joined in the on-going debate on who he thinks is the better player between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Bearing his mind on what has become one of football’s topical issues, Etebo said both players have proved their worth based on the number of individual accolades they have earned. However, he believes that Messi who plays for Barcelona remains ahead of Ronaldo.

“They are both top players but I must tell you the truth, you can imagine that in 10 years it’s been both of them staying consistent for that long. I don’t think it has ever happened before in football

These two rivals are so good and untouchable but I’m going to go for Lionel Messi as the better of the two.”

While with La Liga side Las Palmas before they were relegated last season, Etebo was privileged to play against Messi and also at 2018 the FIFA World Cup in Russia when Argentina defeated Nigeria in the group stage 2-1.

He never played against Ronaldo when he was in Real Madrid before joining Juventus this season but had kind words for the Portuguese player who single-handedly won the European Championship for his country in 2016.

“Ronaldo is a very hardworking player that shows you that with dedication to what you do you can reach the top of your craft. I honestly admire him as well but Messi is just magical,” he told footballlive.ng.
