Christiano Ronaldo is the GOAT in my opinion. I know others may refer to Lionel Messi as the greatest footballer in the last decade. The debate has always been about Ronaldo and Messi, who is better. Kylian Mbappe is not even in the conversation, the likes of Mbappe, Vini, Haaland just came into the spotlight a few years ago.
Ronaldo is definitely the most popular player in the Saudi League right now, I wouldn’t say he’s the best though because of his age. There are younger talents in the league that may be playing really amazing football but do not have that exposure.
We all know Ronaldo is the real goat but others still like Messi but when you compare their talent Ronaldo is very much ahead of him, even at old age his still playing and scoring goals. Ronaldo played in three top Europe leagues before joining the Saudi pro league, and he was the best in those these at the time he was there.
At 40 Ronaldo is still competing witht the young generation every year, just like in the Uefa natonal league, where we have players like Mbappe and Harry kane and others top players, Ronaldo is still topping the top scorer chat, Even in the Saudi pro league is the top scorer this season, Messi is just in America having fun, he can't compete even when his playing in a weaker league. In years to come we can't have Goats like Ronaldo and Messi, the young players are not discipline and are not competing against each other as Ronaldo and Messi did.
