Former "PSJ" defender Presnel Kimpembe shared his thoughts on the eternal debate in the football world regarding the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The French player emphasized that the Argentine star's natural talent and technical skill put him on another level. Reports goal.com.
Kimpembe played alongside Messi at "PSJ" between 2021 and 2023. According to him, Messi's arrival was an unexpected and surprising event for the entire squad. "His arrival was crazy. It was a great feeling to know that the best player in the world was on my team," the defender said.
The player explained the difference between the two stars: "I respect both, but my choice is Messi. He is just strong. Ronaldo is a great hard worker, but Messi is a natural genius. I was amazed by his technique in training. You try to put him under pressure, but he has already seen everything and has already dribbled past you."
While Messi is currently dominating the MLS with "Inter Miami", 41-year-old Ronaldo is striving to reach the 1000-goal mark at Saudi Arabia's "An-Nassr". Meanwhile, 30-year-old Kimpembe has also opened a new chapter in his career by moving to Qatar's "Qatar SC" club.
