Al Hilal superstar Michael has inadvertently delved into the never-ending debate on who is the greatest of all time between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Fans, pundits, and even footballers have often been divided on the best player between the duo.

Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the football scene for years, with the pair winning multiple titles and individual honours to cement their places in football's history books.

To put their dominance and longevity into perspective, the two have won an incredible 13 Ballon d'Or awards between them, with Messi carting home the prize eight times.

Al Hilal star makes headlines with Ronaldo's Siu

On Monday night, Michael hinted at who he admires between Ronaldo and Messi by doing the former's iconic Siu celebration.

SPORTbible reported that the Brazilian football star brutally mocked Messi by pulling off the celebration in front of the Argentine during their international friendly match against Inter Miami.

But speaking after the clash, the 27-year-old appeared to suggest that Messi is actually better than Ronaldo.

"I thank all those involved in the Riyadh Season Cup, which allowed us to face the best player in the world, Lionel Messi," he said via Sportskeeda.

"I am not worth anything in front of Messi, so I should not be compared to him. I am a big admirer of Messi and I love him very much," he added.

Aleksander Mitrovic opened the scoring for Al Hilal during the tie before Abdullah Al Hamdsn doubled the advantage shortly after.

However, Luis Suarez halved the deficit in the 37th minute before Michael restored Al Hilal's two-goal advantage in the 44th minute.

Messi's silence on FIFA awards speaks volumes

Elsewhere, Sports Brief also reported on Messi's failure to publicly accept his FIFA Best Awards.

The Argentine tends to share his wins on social media, but after beating Haaland to the 2023 award, his silence was as deafening as the nature of the awards.
