The perpetual debate over who is the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) in football continues to captivate fans as long as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo grace the pitch. Despite goals, trophies, and awards, the discussion persists, and with Messi winning The FIFA Best Awards 2023 in the men’s category, Ronaldo’s response has been eagerly anticipated.
Responding to Messi’s accolade, Ronaldo took to Instagram, sharing an image of himself with a motivational caption: “Back for more!”
The Portuguese football maestro had an exceptional 2023, scoring a record 54 goals for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, outshining competitors like Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, and Erling Haaland to claim the title of the highest men’s goalscorer of the year at 38 years old.
As the footballing icons prepare to face off in a friendly game between Al-Nassr and Inter Miami in the Riyadh Cup on February 1, the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo continues to add intrigue to the beautiful game.
