In the discussion for the Greatest Player of All Time (GOAT), Arjen Robben chose Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo.
Robben thinks Messi completes everything on the pitch swiftly and doesn’t utilise any trickery. Both Messi and Ronaldo, who have combined for 13 Ballon d’Or achievements, are regarded as two of the greatest football players in history.
Robben claimed in a YouTube video that Messi doesn’t utilise trickery; instead, he completes tasks swiftly, skillfully, and with agility.
Most people agree that Messi and Ronaldo are two of the greatest football players ever.
Robben addressed the debate on the TOUZANI YouTube channel, as reported by Mirror. He said, “You mentioned a few really big names who are very good at it. When I talk about it with the guys. The best ever. The best. Truly the absolute absolute absolute best ever, I always ask ‘does he use tricks?’
“And then the answer is no. Messi of course, he doesn’t have tricks up his sleeve. He just does everything quickly. He has control, speed, agility.”
