Ighalo Ignores Messi, Mbappe, Names One Player As the Real GOAT

• Odion Ighalo says a fellow Saudi Pro League star Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT
• The Portuguese veteran recently joined Al-Nassr in a deal with many millions
• Ighalo welcomed Ronaldo to the league by hailing him as the greatest of all time

Nigerian international, Odion Ighalo has stated that Portuguese legend, Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time.

The superstar recently dumped Manchester United to move to Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia, where he will be playing in the Saudi Pro League with Ighalo, who joined Al-Hilal last summer.

A selected team from the capital of Riyadh hosted Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain recently, but Ighalo missed out on pairing with Ronaldo in the attack due to injury.

Ronaldo scored a brace in the encounter and Messi was also on the scoresheet, in a highly-entertaining encounter which ended 5-4 in favour of the Parisians.
