Kim Min-jae (27) teammate and Bayern Munich legend Thomas Mueller (34) recognized Lionel Messi (36, Inter Miami) as the best player in history, “GOAT (Greatest Of All Time).”
In an interview with Germany’s DAZN on the 24th, Mueller drew attention by answering, “For me, GOAT is Messi” when asked about the best player in history.
“He makes people say, ‘I go to the stadium because of his elegance,'” Mueller said as to why. At the same time, he said, “It’s very effective in scoring goals and winning records and titles.”
“Cristiano Ronaldo (38, Al-Nasr) is also a strong candidate in terms of records and titles,” he said. However, Messi is more unpredictable and elegant, he explained the reason.
The GOAT debate between Messi and Ronaldo has been a football issue for more than a decade. However, Messi won his seventh Ballon d’Or and led Argentina to victory at the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup, making it a GOAT that cannot be compared to Ronaldo.
Messi won the Riggs Cup on the 20th and won his 44th career trophy, making him the “world’s best trophy collector.” It beat Dani Alves (Brazil), the previous winner of the most (43) games.
Messi will lift his 45th trophy if Inter Miami wins against Houston Dynamo in the U.S. Open Cup final on September 28. 스포츠토토
Messi has collected 39 cups for clubs (Barcelona, PSG and Inter Miami). This includes 10 league victories and four UEFA Champions League victories. He also added five more in the Argentine national team uniform. In addition to winning the FIFA World Cup, there are also Olympic and Copa America championship cups.
Messi also has a splendid personal award experience. The Ballon d’Or, which goes to the best soccer player, has won seven awards so far. He has two differences with second-place Cristiano Ronaldo (38, Alnasr). He also won three FIFA Most Valuable Player Awards, three UEFA Player of the Year Awards, and six Spanish Primera Liga Most Valuable Player Awards.
