The debate of whether Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest of all time (GOAT) has been raging for years. Both players have achieved incredible success in their respective careers, and each has a unique set of skills and abilities that make them both worthy of the title. But who is the true GOAT?
Messi is widely considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. He has won six Ballon d’Or awards, a record for any player, and has been named the FIFA World Player of the Year five times. He has also won a record 34 La Liga titles, 10 Copa del Rey titles, and four UEFA Champions League titles. He is the all-time leading scorer in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, and has scored more than 600 goals in his career.

He has also won 26 domestic titles, including five Premier League titles, four Serie A titles, and two La Liga titles. He is the all-time leading scorer in the UEFA Champions League and has scored more than 700 goals in his career.
