Why Alex Iwobi Chooses Messi Over Ronaldo in the GOAT Debate

Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi recently answered football’s biggest question: Messi or Ronaldo? Speaking on the Beast Mode podcast, he called it “tough” but revealed his pick. Iwobi recalled facing Cristiano Ronaldo at peak efficiency. He said the “aura is crazy” whenever Ronaldo got on the ball and finished moves with deadly accuracy. But it was his Champions League debut at Camp Nou that cemented Messi’s status for him. Iwobi described the electric atmosphere and the “radius” around Messi that no one could penetrate. Despite his team losing, he said it was “the perfect loss.” Away from the pitch, the Nigerian star is also set to drop his debut EP More To Life, proving there’s more to his game than just football.
