Legendary former goalkeeper Hugo Orlando Gatti has weighed in on the debate about who is better – Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. The 80-year-old veteran chose the Portuguese star and explained his reasoning.
Gatti told Mundo Deportivo, as reported by La Nacion:
Hugo Orlando Gatti
Cristiano, limited as he is, is a phenomenon. But limited is better than Messi. He is limited because he doesn't have Messi's skills, but he has played in the best teams in the world. Where has Messi played? In Barça and the Argentine national team. Messi didn't push himself to play in other teams, in other countries, even though he had opportunities.
Currently, Messi plays for American club Inter Miami, while Ronaldo continues his career at Saudi club Al-Nassr.
Earlier, there were reports that Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho tried to convince Ronaldo to join the Istanbul club. However, Mourinho himself denied these rumors.
