La Liga president, Javier Tebas has weighed in on the GOAT debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Tebas revealed that the Argentina captain comes first ahead of Ronaldo for him.
He spoke during a recent interview with Juan Jose Buscalia from DSports.
Both Messi and Ronaldo are widely regarded as two of the greatest footballers in history of the game.
The pair have won 13 Ballon d’Or awards among themselves and played against each other during their time in Spanish LaLiga with Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively.
“Lionel and Cristiano are the best two players in history, with Messi as first. Players are important but not essential for a competition,” Tebas said.
“Trying to repeat it for so long, because Messi and Cristiano have been at the highest level since they were 18, it will never happen again, the stars have aligned,” he further stated.
