Former Spain coach, Vicente del Bosque, has stated that Argentina captain Lionel Messi is the greatest player of all time (GOAT), ahead of Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

He said he prefers the Paris Saint-Germain forward in the debate with Ronaldo.
Del Bosque told Radio Marca, “the best player I have ever seen is Messi. Between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, I will take Messi.
“Of all the players I’ve known in so many years in football, for me, Messi, for his consistency and his quality as a player, has been impressive.

He added, “I tried everything to get Messi to play for Spain. However, Lionel refused because of the love he has for his country
