Their unparalleled dominance is evidenced by an astounding total of 12 Ballon d'Or awards shared between them, with Messi alone securing the prestigious honour an impressive seven times, per GOAL.

While some fans have opted to admire the duo's accomplishments with equal admiration, the majority have engaged in an ongoing debate, endlessly comparing and contrasting them to determine who deserves the title of the greatest of all time (GOAT).

Inter Miami picks Ronaldo as GOAT

Amidst the ongoing debate, a social media post by Lionel Messi's new club, Inter Miami, has resurfaced, reigniting discussions.

The post reacted to the meeting between American football star Tom Brady and Cristiano Ronaldo at the iconic Old Trafford, the home grounds of Premier League side Manchester United.

Inter Miami chimed in the comment section, using two GOAT emojis to express admiration for the greatness of both sporting icons. However, this action has sparked renewed discourse surrounding the greatest of all time, with some suggesting that Messi's new club has already considered his archrival as the ultimate GOAT.

Messi speaks on GOAT debate

In a related publication, Sports Brief reported that Lionel Messi has revealed his position on the unending debate on who is the Greatest Footballer of All Time (GOAT) between himself and his age-old adversary Cristiano Ronaldo.

The extent of their domination over the last decade has made the "Greatest Of All Time" argument almost exclusively revolve around the rivalry between the mercurial Argentine playmaker and the Portuguese sensation.

After many expert opinions and fan discussions on the GOAT debate, the 35-year-old, who picked up his second Laureus Sportsman of the Year Award in Paris, finally weighed in on the debate.
