Lionel Messi is arguably one of the best footballers in the history of the sport. Despite being 37, the Argentine is still a level above the rest in nearly every aspect of the game. Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold on the other hand, is one of, if not the best right backs in the modern game. In a recent interview, the Englishman named Messi as the best player he’s ever faced.
It is interesting to note that Alexander-Arnold has come up against Cristiano Ronaldo on multiple occasions during the latter’s second stint with Manchester United. Surprisingly, the Portuguese failed to score on both occasions, with him losing his cool on one occasion as he kicked the ball off of Curtis Jones who had fallen over.
Messi. Just the best.
Trent Alexander-Arnold said in a podcast
Trent Alexander-Arnold is currently on international duty with The Three Lions and will most likely be included in the squad to face Greece and Finland. The Englishman recently made headlines when he was surprised by Real Madrid man Jude Bellingham on his birthday. The player turned 26 on the 7th of October.
Arjen Robben names clear winner in Lionel Messi – Cristiano Ronaldo debate
Netherlands legend and former Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid star Arjen Robben recently opened up about his stance on the GOAT debate. Even though the player was clear as to who his favorite was, the left-footed magician also showered ample praise on the winner of the debate.
Speaking of the duo’s victories and achievements throughout their respective careers, Robben questioned whether Messi had to use ‘tricks’ to become the best.
Truly, the absolute absolute best ever. I always ask does he use tricks? The answer is no. Messi of course, he doesn’t have tricks, he just does everything quickly.
Arjen Robben told TOUZANI on YouTube
The former winger named Messi’s agility, speed and control as his best assets and the things that separate him from the rest. Lionel Messi currently plies his trade at Inter Miami in the MLS while Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. Messi recently won the Supporters’ Shield with Miami after beating Columbus Crew in the title decider.
