Rio Ferdinand has disclosed that Lionel Messi unfollowed Alejandro Garnacho, a Manchester United star who is a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, on Instagram.
During a recent episode of “Vibe with Five,” the renowned defender talked about Garnacho’s goal from a bicycle kick against Everton. He then shared this fascinating story about the young United forward with the Daily Mail:
What appeals to me about him, you know? It doesn’t concern him. Garnacho informed me that Messi unfollowed him solely due to his open declaration of his affection for Ronaldo. He declares, “I’m a Ronaldo man,” without hesitation. Who is the greatest of all time? Ronaldo, even when he is a member of the Argentina team.”
Garnacho recently showed off his abilities against Everton with a fantastic overhead kick; this goal will surely make him a strong candidate for the Puskas Award.
He honored the Portuguese legend he publicly idolized by imitating Ronaldo’s famous Siuuu celebration after scoring. The rising prospect from Manchester United has never hidden his appreciation for Ronaldo.
He even wore Nike’s Ronaldo-inspired Vapor 15 Mercurial Dream Speed footwear throughout the game, according to Daily Mail. However, Lionel Messi’s subtly rude Instagram post appears to have sprung from this display of support for Ronaldo.
The problem is just one aspect of the ongoing discussion about who the real GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in football is. For more than a decade, players with extraordinary potential, Messi and Ronaldo, have dominated this discourse.
Premier League player Kevin De Bruyne is Mohamed Salah’s “dream teammate,” ranking him above Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Liverpool forward recently shared his adoration for De Bruyne.
One of the most dangerous strikers in the Premier League, Mohamed Salah, discussed his ideal teammate in an interview with Sky Sports this week.
He said (via Express):
“I’d select Kevin over Messi in the Premier League if I had to choose. I would rank Messi, Ronaldo, and Kevin in order of preference because he has vision and can probably find me anywhere with the ball. He’s a fantastic player, and City as a squad is excellent. However, I simply try to play my game and keep everyone else out of my mind.
In the midst of these honors, Salah’s professional future has recently been called into question. Potential choices include moving to the Saudi Pro League or signing with an MLS team, like as Inter Miami, where he might play alongside Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
The renowned Egyptian is hoping to finish out his current Liverpool contract in the interim.
