Darwin Nunez once gave a hilarious reply when asked to choose between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the GOAT debate. He continued to name Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah instead of picking Messi or Ronaldo.
The Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi GOAT debate is the most dividing question in modern football. Both superstars have their cult of fans who back their favourite player all the way through.
Nunez, though, backed his attacking partner Salah instead. In a 2022 video, he was seen answering the question in a hilarious manner before approaching Salah, who was signing autographs for fans.

Nunez, 25, has been at Liverpool since 2022 and has registered 33 goals and 17 assists in 96 appearances across competitions. He has played 78 games alongside Salah, combining for 12 goals.
The Egyptian has been Liverpool's talisman since his 2017 move to Merseyside. He's a bonafide Anfield icon, contributing 211 goals and 89 assists in 349 appearances across competition.
Salah has won the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and other trophies with the Reds and is arguably one of their greatest players.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and more: Sergio Aguero's all-time XI
Speaking to GOAL, former Manchester City and Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero picked his all-time XI. He picked the legendary Gianluigi Buffon to be the goalkeeper.
Brazilian legends Roberto Carlos and Cafu took up the two full-back spots, while Virgil van Dijk and Fernando Hierro were named the two central defenders of the hypothetical team.
Eric Cantona and Xavi were named the two central midfielders with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi taking up the flanks. In attack, Aguero partnered Ronaldo Nazario alongside the late great Diego Maradona.
Aguero picking former teammate Messi and compatriot Maradona is not surprising. However, his acknowledgement of Ronaldo and former Manchester United icon Eric Cantona shows that despite being a Manchester City legend himself, Aguero recognises greatness irrespective of club affiliations.
