Football’s “GOAT” debate has been going on for many years,and even though its main players are getting closer to the end of their legendary careers, all sports fans, especially those who support Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi personally, still have their own opinions on the topic.
The same, of course, applies to men’s tennis, where Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have dominated the ATP tour for 20 years, competing for the top spots in the rankings and Grand Slam totals and always attempting to surpass one another.
Since Nadal is a huge football fan, some fans took advantage of the chance to ask him an eternal question about football. The Spaniard is on holiday in Greece and was taking photos with some young fans when they asked him, “Messi or Ronaldo?”
His answer was recorded and posted on TikTok, where the Spaniard gives his opinion on the debate, saying, “Messi is better, but I am a Madrid fan!”.

With success in La Liga for Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, Messi and Ronaldo spent a significant portion of their respective careers in Spain, where Nadal is a household name. Nadal has supported the Madrid-based side since he was a child, with Los Blancos being his family’s team.
