Best player ever – Ballon d’Or winner, Rodri picks between Messi, Ronaldo

Manchester City midfielder and 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, Rodri, has hailed Lionel Messi as the greatest player in the history of football. Despite clinching his first Ballon d’Or title last month, Rodri acknowledged Messi’s unmatched legacy, with the Argentine superstar holding a record eight Ballon d’Or titles — three more than Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr.

Speaking to El Hormiguero, Rodri said:

“Zero doubts. For me, Leo Messi is the best player ever.”

Rodri reflected on his experiences playing against Messi, emphasizing the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s unparalleled skill on the pitch.

“When he received the ball, you were thinking: there is danger coming,” Rodri shared. “When I faced him, I would try to take the ball away from him, but he would get away from you as if you weren’t there.”

Messi’s dominance in the football world continues to set him apart. After his remarkable 2023 season, which included guiding Inter Miami to their first-ever trophy in the United States, the Argentine captain solidified his status as the most decorated footballer in history.

Rodri’s comments further underscore the global recognition of Messi’s extraordinary talent and impact on the game.
