The debate about who is the best footballer in the world is perhaps one of the oldest discussions in sport, current in almost all times but with different protagonists. In this one, for example, the leading role of Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who with their talent and discipline have made some of the most important clubs in Europe shine. Sports models to follow that day after day continue to add successes and followers, while fueling their long rivalry for the football crown.
Perhaps the most glorious period of this superstar duo was when Ronaldo was at Real Madrid and Leo Messi at Barcelona.. In these teams, they converged with some of the most important footballers of today and managed to turn the Spanish classic into one of the highest grossing matches in history. Now, with CR7 being 37 years old and Messi at 34, they are on their way to immortalizing themselves as legends and continuing to break records on the pitch.
Beyond the preference for one of the two, the truth is that the world celebrates and respects the trajectory of each one. The evidence of this is the tribute that Twitter recently paid to Cristiano Ronaldo (and later to Messi) after enabling the appearance of a drawing of a goat next to the hashtag that bears his name.
The history of why this is really simple and goes back to the translation of the word “cabra” in English (Goat), which is actually used as the acronym for: “Greatest of All Time” or “the best of all time” in Spanish. However, it is also a phrase that generates debate among football fans since, each one on their own, considers that this characteristic is perfect for CR7 or Leo.
