FOr Luka Modric answering who is better, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, which is a real headache. That’s not without reason. That means putting two of the greatest players of recent times in the same bowl and choosing the one you think is the best.
The former Real Madrid star shared a dressing room with the Portuguese icon and learned first-hand how he is, how he thinks and how he acts. At the same time, he had to face the Argentine star, who had shown his quality in each other’s matches for several years.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s entrance turns tribute into viral moment
For this reason, when asked which is better, Modric prefers to answer in the best possible way. In short, it’s a celebration of both talented players who I was lucky enough to watch play at the same time.
Luka Modric lists his favorite between Messi and Ronaldo
In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, the 40-year-old Croatian was very diplomatic when asked to name his favorite player, after being asked which is better: the Lusitanian or the Pampas-born star.
That’s a question I don’t like. They marked an era. I’m more attached to Cristiano because we played together and he was my partner in Madrid. I also assure you that he is not only a great football player. he’s an incredible person. People don’t realize it, but he has a big heart that is always ready to help others. And he is a simple and ordinary man. As a man, I don’t know him (Messi), but there is no doubt that he is an extraordinary person. great as a player
The answer is not easy for everyone. Both have been great stars of recent years and have left their mark on the field of quality and talent. Modric reacted very maturely without taking sides.
Both players have won 13 Ballon d’Or awards, with Luka owning one himself, so it’s only natural that there would be a debate about greatness between them.
Messi has been given the name of the World Cup, something Ronaldo has not achieved. However, the latter is approaching 1,000 goals in his entire career with Arabia, while the former continues to spread his magic on the pitches of MLS.
Former Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos chooses whether he likes Messi or Ronaldo
For Modric, it was not easy to say which was better. In fact, he didn’t. Solomonically, he stood on both sides. However, it was Merengues’ midfielder, German Toni Kroos, who made the decision without hesitation.
For Kroos, the favorite to win the 2026 World Cup is Cristiano Ronaldo rather than Lionel Messi.
My favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco.
With less than six months to go until the opening whistle blows at Azteca Stadium, former players are naming their favorites for the title.
