Former Nigeria captain, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha has given his opinion in the debate over who is the greatest footballer of all time, GOAT, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi and Ronaldo’s rivalry has dominated football conversations for almost two decades.

The two players have shared 13 Ballon d’Or awards between them, with Messi taking home eight of that number.

In a recent interview with Pulse Fun Facts, Okocha picked the Argentina captain over Ronaldo.

Okocha said, “They are both GOATs but my personal GOAT is Messi because he looks more natural to me.”

Both Messi and Ronaldo have been left out of this year’s nominations for the Ballon d’Or, in what could spell the end of an era.
