Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has weighed in on the long-running Messi vs Ronaldo debate, refusing to pick one over the other.
Speaking during a recent social media video session, the Galatasaray forward was asked to rank Argentina captain Lionel Messi and Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo. Instead of choosing a single player, Osimhen said both deserve the top spot.
“I don’t do no Messi and Ronaldo ranking,” Osimhen said. “Why can’t we put them together as number one? For me, Messi and Ronaldo are number one on my ranking.”
