Manchester United and England legend David Beckham has weighed in on the Lionel Messi versus Cristiano Ronaldo debate. Beckham believes that the Barcelona and Argentina star is the greatest player in the world.
Beckham, who came up against Messi during his brief stint at Paris Saint-Germain, insists it is ‘impossible’ that any player comes close to matching the Argentine’s talented player.
The former Real Madrid star, now the president of Inter Miami, enjoyed a trophy-laden career of his own – having won the Premier League, Champions League and La Liga, among a host of others.
It would be recalled that both Messi and Ronaldo have been leading at the forefront for over a decade in Europe, and hold a sensational 11 Ballon d’Ors between them. Beckham was even rumoured to have approached Messi with a view to a sensational switch for his newly-founded MLS team.
The New Diplomat reports that the former England captain was hopeful of securing a number of elite players for his club, with Messi seen as the ultimate statement.
