Dutch football legend Arjen Robben has weighed in on the ongoing debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, naming Messi as the greatest footballer of all time. According to Robben, Messi’s unmatched ability to control the game with speed and simplicity sets him apart from Ronaldo, who is known for his flashy style and powerful play.
In an interview on the TOUZANI YouTube channel, Robben praised Messi for not relying on tricks, saying, “Messi doesn’t have tricks up his sleeve; he just does everything quickly, with control and agility.” The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich star explained that Messi’s effectiveness on the pitch comes from his mastery of the fundamentals rather than showy maneuvers.
Both Messi and Ronaldo have achieved extraordinary success in their careers, with Messi winning 10 La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, and a World Cup with Argentina. Ronaldo has secured major titles in England, Spain, and Italy, as well as international glory with Portugal. The two have collected 13 Ballon d’Or awards combined, dominating the football world for nearly two decades.
While many fans and players continue to debate who is truly the best, Robben’s choice is clear: Messi’s unparalleled combination of speed, control, and simplicity earns him the title of the greatest footballer of all time.
