Trying to settle the football GOAT debate is no easy task.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have both had stellar careers, but most footballers have a preference over who they think has achieved more.

Georgia Stanway is not like most footballers. The England women's star recently weighed in on the GOAT debate, but opted to choose neither of the players.

The midfielder, who is currently on duty with the Lionesses at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, participated in a quiz in which she was asked to pick between certain players.

When the question came to choosing between the Portuguese and Argentinian superstars, Stanway was lost for words at first. The English star then opted for the safer option by not choosing neither of them.

The attacking midfielder also picked Erling Haaland over Kylian Mbappe, Andres Iniesta over Luka Modric, and Ronaldinho over Neymar Junior.

While she couldn’t settle the GOAT debate, Stanway will be hoping to help England to achieve GOAT status in New Zealand and Australia.

The Lionesses will take on Colombia in the quarter-finals of the tournament, looking to take one step closer to greatness. The English can emulate the Germans who were European and World Champions at the same time.

Zidane weighs in on debate

Zinedine Zidane is one of football's all-time greats, but he also knows a player who is better than him.

The former French legend once weighed in on the 'GOAT and his comments have recently resurfaced.

Asked to choose between Messi or Ronaldo, Zizou explained who he felt was better, per Sports Brief.

Ancelotti rejects Messi as GOAT

Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has refused to acknowledge Messi as the best player of all time, Sports Brief also reported.

The Argentine captain is thought to have put the debate to rest after he led his country to World Cup glory in Qatar last year.

However, the Los Blancos manager instead mentioned three other players he thinks are better than the 35-year-old forward.
