Paul Pogba and IShowSpeed argue over Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on YouTube stream

Popular YouTube streamer IShowSpeed featured French footballer Paul Pogba on his stream on November 5, and the two started arguing about who is a better player: Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Anybody who follows IShowSpeed will know that he is a die-hard supporter of Cristiano Ronaldo, even getting a custom CR7 livery for his Lamborghini Huracan.

He has also been known to troll Messi on social media and naturally asked Pogba whether he prefers the Portuguese or the Argentine player.

A clip of Pogba telling him that Lionel Messi is "different" has gone viral on social media where the Juventus player can be heard comparing Messi to Ronaldo while hanging out with IShowSpeed:

"You love Cristiano, I like the style and everything. And some people love Messi because bro, bro! You see what he is doing, bro? Messi is different, you see what he is doing? Have you seen Messi? Bro, you think you can push him and stuff like that? How can a person like this, so small, can do this to people, right? You agree with me?"

IShowSpeed reluctantly refused to agree with Paul Pogba, and the footballer went on making a case for liking Messi:

"Because your heart is talking. Because you know the facts."

IShowSpeed then asked Paul Pogba if Messi had scored a free-kick from 40 yards like Cristiano Ronaldo, but Pogba refuted that line of questioning and said:

"No, Messi is not that kind of player. That's what I am saying. It depends. He doesn't need it. He scores freekicks, you know?"

Paul Pogba praises Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in the 2007/8 season while arguing with IShowSpeed about Messi

Before IShowSpeed had taken the footballer to the pitch, the two got into the Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate in the car as they livestreamed. In the clip, the YouTuber popped the question and Paul Pogba initially refused to answer claiming that it was a "bullsh**" comparison.

However, he did state that if he needed a pure goalscoring player on his team, he would pick Ronaldo. But, Pogba seemingly gave Messi the edge by stating that he is a playmaker who also scores goals, stating he would take the Argentine as his pick on "any day":

"If I have to make a team, if I need to score goals, I would take Cristiano. Only to score goals. (IShowSpeed claps) But if I need a playmaker who can score goals, make assists, bro, I'll take Messi any day!"

Later on in the stream, while having the debate, Pogba did concede that in the 2008 Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo showed one of the greatest football plays of all time:

"2007-2008, this is when they won the Champions League, alright? Cristiano, what he did on the pitch! There is no one player..."

IShowSpeed got really excited and egged Pogba on saying:

"Say it, say it, say it out of your mouth!"

The footballer proceeded to heap praises on Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in 2007/8, saying:

"There is no one player that did what he had done. What he has done in 2008, I don't think. That's crazy!"

IShowSpeed has been described as a Cristiano Ronaldo fanatic by his community for how obsessed the YouTuber is with the footballer. He recently garnered a lot of attention after smelling a CR7 Real Madrid jersey signed by Ronaldo.
