Being the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) sure feels good for that individual but for his fans, it is more than exciting and joyous. Ronaldo and Messi are currently considered to be the greatest footballers of this generation. Both are quick, have a rare talent to score goals, and a quick receptive mind to change the direction of the ball to their will and deceive even the best of the best defenders. Following FCB’s 2-0 triumph at the Allianz Stadium, they tweeted on Twitter that Juventus allies had the opportunity to see ‘the genuine GOAT’ in real life, with Messi’s amazing performance without Ronaldo who was governed out of the game in the wake of testing positive for Covid.
In response, Juventus responded to them with a tweet that said they will prove their true self to them at Camp Nou where Ronaldo will face Messi head-on and their claim proved to be absolutely definite as Ronaldo scored 2 penalties and overwhelmed Barcelona at 13th minute and 52nd minute. Barcelona’s game without their past key players such as Neymar, Suarez left a tough job in hands of Messi. Messi did take a few shots at the Juventus goalkeeper, Buffon, but he blocked every one of them.
This encounter has yet again put Ronaldo’s name on top and all his fans have already concluded that he is the real GOAT. It will take another magical performance by Messi against Ronaldo to make Messi and his fans to believe that he is the GOAT. Currently, all of Messi’s supporters are rooting for him to get a chance to score against Ronaldo and retake his place as the GOAT. So who gets to be the real GOAT, is up to us to debate.
