The battle of the GOAT is actually between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and it all started when these superstars were playing in the Spanish La Liga.

Fans of these two players will always engage in serious debate over who is the biggest and greatest between them.

Messi has won seven Ballon d'Or award, while Cristiano Ronaldo is having five.

PSG reluctant to grant Messi’s request

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Paris Saint-Germain rejected Lionel Messi's request to parade the World Cup trophy at the Parc Des Princes.

Reports indicate that PSG are concerned about the possible feelings the ceremony could evoke in Kylian Mbappe. Messi inspired Argentina to beat Mbappe's France in the World Cup final on December 18.

Both PSG forwards starred, with Mbappe's hat-trick proving not to be enough to win back-to-back world titles.

Messi scored twice but finished behind Mbappe in the Golden Boot rankings. However, he was awarded the Golden Ball award.

The veteran has requested to parade the trophy in Paris when he comes back from his mini-holiday.

The club is wary of granting this request in the same country beaten to win the World Cup, plus how Mbappe could feel about the whole spectacle.
