Sergio Aguero, Lionel Messi’s best friend, in a recent interview, reportedly insisted Cristiano Ronaldo‘s goals are “pure luck”. He said it while explaining why he feels his compatriot Lionel Messi is a better goal-scorer than the Portuguese.
Messi found the net in Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-0 win over Nice in Ligue 1, which saw him go past Ronaldo’s tally of 701 club goals in Europe. According to reports, Aguero called into question the quality of Ronaldo’s goals haul in comparison to Messi. He believes that the Portuguese often benefitted from a huge slice of good fortune.
Aguero said while backing fellow Argentine Messi over Ronaldo: “Look where Ronaldo scores the goals from. Come on. All free-kick goals and pure luck. Messi’s are all at the angle, incredible. But what does Ronaldo do? Goalkeeper’s fault. I think Raul has better goals, Karim Benzema I think he has better ones.”
Aguero and Messi share an incredible bond of friendship off the pitch. The World Cup winner is the godfather to Aguero’s son, Benjamin. And it is believed that the striker chose to join Barcelona from Manchester City in 2021 so that he could share the same dressing room with the legend. However, Messi left for PSG in the same summer, which prevented Aguero from fulfilling his wish.
Messi will be back in action for PSG against Lens on Saturday. While Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr face Al-Hilal on Tuesday in the Saudi Pro League.
