N’Golo Kante Chooses Messi Over Ronaldo in GOAT Debate

N’Golo Kante, former Chelsea star, has weighed in on the enduring debate about who reigns supreme in football: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.

In a recent interview, Kante was asked to share his thoughts on who he considers the best player between the Portuguese and the Argentine legends. This debate, reminiscent of the Maradona vs. Pele rivalry, has persisted for years with both Ronaldo and Messi pushing each other to new heights.

Messi’s triumphs, including his victory at the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America with Argentina, have swayed many fans in his favor. These successes might boost his chances of securing a record-extending 9th Ballon d’Or.

Kante, now playing for Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, originally voiced his opinion on this topic in 2016 while with Leicester City. He picked Messi as the greatest of all time (GOAT) between the two football superstars.

Regardless of future outcomes, both Ronaldo and Messi will undoubtedly be remembered as two of the best players.
