Ronaldo vs Messi: Angel Di Maria Tells CR7 Fanboy Garnacho To Snub Ronaldo and ‘Copy’ Messi

• Alejandro Garnacho has been advised to 'learn' from Argentine maestro Lionel Messi
• However, Angel Di Maria believes Garnacho can celebrate like Cristiano Ronaldo
• Despite hailing from Argentina, the Man United star prefers CR7 as his GOAT

Angel Di Maria has conveyed a thoughtful message to Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, subtly offering insights into the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate and where he might align himself.

Having played alongside both Ronaldo and Messi, Di Maria encourages Garnacho to extract valuable lessons from these football legends.

Garnacho boldly expresses his admiration for the Portuguese superstar, frequently mimicking CR7's iconic 'Siuu' celebration and proudly donning his branded underwear.

This allegiance adds intrigue, considering Garnacho's roots in Argentina, the same nation as Ronaldo's eternal rival, Lionel Messi.

Despite his Argentine background, the 18-year-old wonderkid openly identifies as a dedicated Cristiano Ronaldo fan.

While Garnacho's unwavering support for the Al-Nassr captain occasionally faces criticism from Messi enthusiasts, Angel Di Maria, Garnacho's compatriot and former teammate of CR7 at Real Madrid, offers guidance to the young talent.

Di Maria suggests that while Alejandro can embrace Ronaldo's celebrations, he should also glean valuable football lessons from Messi.

“If I was Garnacho, the only thing I wouldn't do is celebrate like Cristiano Ronaldo. I would do what Messi does,” he advised as quoted by the The Nassr Zone.

Di Maria slams Messi critic

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Angel Di Maria responded on Instagram, rebuffing Lothar Matthaus for his remarks questioning Lionel Messi's deserving of his eighth Ballon d'Or win.

As Messi's teammate in the national squad, Di Maria countered the legendary German player's critique of the Ballon d'Or decision.

Matthaus, known for his admiration of the 36-year-old, suggested that Erling Haaland should have received the Golden Ball instead of the Argentine maestro.
