Not Ronaldo and Messi, the best players are these two: Rooney

With the end of the World Cup in Qatar, the debate about whether Ronaldo or Messi is better has been active again. Who is the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in football is an age-old question.

One section highlights the name of Argentine legend Lionel Messi, who won the World Cup in Qatar, while the other section highlights the name of Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo. But now former England player Wayne Rooney has given his opinion on the matter.

Rooney said that Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe are better players than Messi and Ronaldo. Meanwhile, Rooney added that Messi and Ronaldo are two unique football players.

Meanwhile, Haaland and Mbappé have been outstanding in the last few seasons. Haaland, 22, scored 110 goals in 108 appearances for Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, while Mbappe, 24, scored 190 goals in 237 appearances for PSG.

Argentina’s FIFA World Cup champion Super Striker Lionel Messi is said to be returning to Paris Saint-Germain in early January. Pictures of Messi celebrating Christmas with his family after returning to Argentina from Qatar were circulated on social media.

Messi, a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner and Copa America and Finalsima winner, still had the desire to lift the world crown for his country.

Meanwhile, just before the Qatar World Cup, superstar Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United. The star’s departure from United came after an interview with the famous journalist and news anchor Piers Morgan.

During the interview, Ronaldo revealed that coach Erik ten Haag and several other officials were trying to get him fired. He also claimed during the interview that he felt cheated by the club.

A later report said the player, who became a free agent after leaving United, will sign a contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Nasser in early January.

According to the report, Cristiano will stay at the club until June 2025. There were earlier reports that Ronaldo would consider offers from European clubs or Al Nasser himself.

Al Nasser has made an offer of 200 million dollars a year to the star. Ronaldo can also become the coach of the team if his contract as a player expires.
