Di María broke his silence

"Fideo" Di María joins the debate over who is the best footballer in the world. Ángel Di María, a world champion alongside Lionel Messi, finishing off a team goal against France in the World Cup.

Di Maria is one of the few players who has had the opportunity to play with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. In an interview with AS, he described Cristiano in a very positive way: “In terms of professionalism, Cristiano is number one by far.” His way of working, of staying in shape, of always trying to be the best by competing with Leo was very commendable,” the Argentine striker commented.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

I also clarified Cristiano Ronaldo’s misfortune in coinciding with Lionel Messi in the same temporal and physical framework. “His was all about hard work and effort to be number one, but Messi drinking mate in the locker room afterward showed that he had a God-given gift to be the best,” Di María commented.

The truth is that the discussion about who can be considered the best is merely a matter of perspective, and it often leads to many comparisons. However, it’s worth noting that these two players dominated the main stage of football for many years, trading first and second place, championships, Ballon d’Or awards, and Golden Boots.

The possible next meeting

Cristiano Ronaldo, representing Portugal, and Lionel Messi, eager to defend the champion’s crown, could face off in the next World Cup.

Will fate offer us one last champions’ duel?
