"What colour is her World Cup?", "Will never recreate this" - Lionel Messi fans make big claims in incredible debate on Twitter involving Beyonce

Football fans have weighed in on a debate on who among Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Lionel Messi and American pop star Beyonce is more famous.

Twitter user Beyisover intriguingly asked their fans about which of the duo is better known worldwide. That has drawn interesting arguments from both sides, as fans have backed their respective personalities.

Messi has become one of, if not the greatest players of all time. The Argentine icon has scored 709 goals and provided 338 assists in 870 club football games. He has also bagged 102 goals and 56 assists in 174 international appearances for Argentina.

The PSG forward cemented his legacy by winning the FIFA World Cup with La Abiceleste last year. There were jubilant scenes in Buenos Aires as he and his teammates paraded the World Cup trophy in an open-top bus tour around the city.

Messi's name was chanted throughout the festivities as thousands of fans flocked to the streets of Buenos Aires. The Argentine has a massive following on social media, boasting 456 million Instagram followers.

However, Beyonce is regarded as one of the most successful songwriters in history. The Crazy in Love singer has sold over 200 million records worldwide. She also sold a further 60 million with her former girl band Destiny's Child. Billboard ranked the American 37th in their list of the greatest music artists of all time.

She also has a strong social media following, with 305 million followers on Instagram. However, football fans have made hilarious arguments about why Messi is more famous than the RNB singer. One Twitter user asked what colour the platinum-selling artist's World Cup trophy was:

"What colour is her World Cup?"

Another wondered if Beyonce would be able to recreate the admiration of Argentina fans towards Messi after he won the World Cup:

"Beyonce will never recreate this."
