Antonee Robinson Picks Lionel Messi Over Cristiano Ronaldo in GOAT Debate

Fulham defender Antonee Robinson has thrown his hat into the never-ending GOAT debate, choosing Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo. The U.S. Men’s National Team star, who has been a standout performer for both club and country, recently shared his thoughts on the discussion that has divided football fans for years.

In a recent interview, Robinson acknowledged the greatness of both superstars but admitted that, for him, Messi stands above the rest. He praised the Argentine legend’s technical ability, vision, and control of the game, making it clear why he believes the Inter Miami forward deserves the title of the greatest player of all time.

"Both Messi and Ronaldo are legends, no doubt about it. But for me, Messi is just on another level. The way he moves, dribbles, and sees the game—it’s unreal," Robinson said.

Messi and Ronaldo have dominated football for nearly two decades, rewriting record books and winning multiple Ballon d’Ors, Champions League titles, and international trophies. Ronaldo is often celebrated for his goal-scoring prowess, physical dominance, and relentless work ethic, while Messi is admired for his natural talent, dribbling skills, and unmatched playmaking abilities.

Robinson’s preference for Messi adds another layer to the ongoing debate, which has seen players, coaches, and fans take sides over the years. Having competed against some of the world's best in the Premier League and on the international stage, Robinson believes that Messi’s all-around brilliance sets him apart.

While the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate may never have a final answer, one thing is certain—both have left an unforgettable legacy in the world of football. However, for Robinson, the choice is clear: Messi is the GOAT.
