Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's fans are often engaged in the debate of who is the better player between the duo. They are two of the greatest soccer players to have ever lived, and both have had careers full of unprecedented achievements.

They are in the final chapters of their respective careers. However, 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo remains impressive for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, and 37-year-old Lionel Messi is also producing spectacular numbers for MLS club Inter Miami.

Both superstars continue to captain their national teams as well. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now chimed in on the GOAT debate. In a recent interview with Sofascore, Romano was asked to chime in on the topic and he refused to make a comparison.

Like any sensible fan, Romano thinks both players are incredible and it's better for fans to enjoy the show as long as it lasts. He said:

I am not a big fan of comparisons, just enjoy them. When they retire, we’ll say we spent too much time asking ‘who is better, who is worse’. Why should people get angry about this? It’s like two beautiful pieces of art, enjoy them, not the negatives.
