1) Cristiano Ronaldo
Trending
Football fans in the 21st century are divided into two halves. The first comprises those who believe that Lionel Messi is the best player of this century and generation and maybe of all time while the second half is made up of those who pledge their allegiance to Cristiano Ronaldo. While this endless debate rages on, it is worth your while to just sit back and appreciate just how much these two legends have influenced each other’s games.
It is a relationship very much akin to and on the same stature as Mozart and Salieri minus the antagonism, to Tesla and Edison minus the craziness, and to Pepsi and Coca-Cola minus the obvious dislike for each other. In other words, although these two priceless footballers are obviously not the best of friends but theirs is a relationship as healthy and clean as can be between two great rivals, not aimed at but ultimately resulting in greatly raising each other’s games.
Have we missed anybody who you think played an indispensable part in shaping Lionel Messi’s game? Let us know in the comments!
