Former player of Chelsea and Real Madrid, Eden Hazard, shared his opinion on the debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the title of the best modern footballer.
Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023, while Ronaldo has been playing for Al-Nassr since last year.
former captain of the Belgium national team told the Daily Mail:
For me, Messi is the one. Messi is the one, if you talk about football. But then people have different opinions. Ronaldo is the GOAT to score goals, to bring trophies to the team. This guy is... wow. Look at him now, he's 39. He is going to score goals until 50, believe me, 50! But my style of playing is Messi. But for me, the greatest is Zidane.
Previously, Hazard stated that he doesn't consider Ronaldo superior to himself in terms of talent. Axel Witsel expressed the opinion that Eden ended his career because the last two years have been hard on him.
