Mikel Obi Said It’s Impossible To Like Both Messi And Ronaldo At The Same Time

Mikel Obi Said It’s Impossible To Like Both Messi And Ronaldo At The Same Time.

Super eagle’s former midfielder, John Obi Mikel said that one must have a favourite between Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina football legend, Lionel Messi.

He said in an episode of the Obi one podcast, while he was criticizing Ronaldo for featuring in Portugal’s 2-0 UEFA Euro 2024 Group F defeat to Georgia.

Mikel Obi compared him to Messi and said that even those who are not his fans still have no choice but to respect him.

He said……..

“Even if you are a Messi fan, your respect [has to go to] him. You can’t like them both, everyone has their own opinion.

“I have my opinion on who I think the GOAT is. Now, Messi winning the Copa America again with Argentina and leading them to glory. Of course, Ronaldo, you could say that [he had a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign].

“A lot of people criticized Ronaldo about taking free-kicks, about trying to do everything [all by himself], trying to play every game.

“But I have said it a few times, the only place I criticize him in that tournament is [his decision] to play the game against Georgia. He did not need to play that game. You are 39 years old, take a break. Have a rest and refresh for the next game”.
