“He’s tactically more complete,” Saha names the GOAT
For Louis Saha, the former Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo outshines Lionel Messi, whom he considers less complete physically and tactically.
Former French international Louis Saha has settled the debate that has split football fans for nearly two decades: between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, his choice is clear. The ex-Manchester United forward places the Portuguese above the Argentinian, believing he represents the most complete player of his generation.
“Some will prefer Messi, but I respect Ronaldo more,” Saha told talkSPORT. “If you want to build a team capable of playing at a very high tempo, he’s the first player you pick, because he doesn’t need anyone around him to shine.“
According to the former Red Devil, Cristiano Ronaldo stands out for his physical strength, mental toughness and tactical versatility: “He is more complete in every area. But you still have to acknowledge Messi’s genius and the respect he commands through his exceptional career.” Yet another chapter in the rivalry between two legends who have forever shaped the history of world football.
