Zinédine Zidane settles the GOAT debate and chooses Lionel Messi
For Zinédine Zidane, the debate over the greatest player in history no longer really warrants discussion. The former captain of Les Bleus places Lionel Messi at the pinnacle of world football and believes that his detractors have few arguments to put forward.
Questioned about the eternal debate surrounding the GOAT, an acronym for the greatest player of all time, Zinédine Zidane did not hesitate when naming his favorite. For the former Real Madrid midfielder, Lionel Messi stands as the ultimate reference. “If anyone still has doubts about the GOAT debate, honestly, that person has no place in the world of football,” Zidane said, in remarks reported by Marca.
At 39 years old, Lionel Messi has one of the most impressive records in the history of football. The Inter Miami forward notably won the World Cup with Argentina, as well as the Champions League several times with FC Barcelona. The 2022 world champion has also accumulated individual awards throughout his career, reinforcing his status among the greatest legends of football.
After leading Argentina to the final of the last World Cup, ultimately lost to Spain, Messi also announced the end of his journey with the Argentine national team.
