Gareth Bale has recently weighed in on the ongoing conversation surrounding who truly deserves the title of the greatest player of all time.
This Messi vs Ronaldo debate has been a hot topic among football fans, with two names consistently at the forefront.
Having spent a significant part of his career at Real Madrid, Bale knows a thing or two about excellence on the pitch.
His time there was marked by major achievements, including several league titles, contributing to the team’s storied legacy.
Gareth Bale’s Take: Messi vs Ronaldo
In a recent YouTube video with Futcrunch, the retired Bale took part in a popular blind ranking challenge where he had to pick his top five attackers, as per SPORTbible.
When it came down to it, he found himself having to choose between Messi vs Ronaldo.
Bale placed himself in fifth position and put his former Spurs teammate Harry Kane, who he played alongside during the 2020/21 season when he returned to North London on loan, in fourth place. Now, Kane is making waves at Bayern Munich in Germany.
For third place, Bale opted for the legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo, who dazzled fans during the original Galactico era at Real Madrid, sharing the pitch with icons like Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, David Beckham, and Roberto Carlos.
Last year, Bale made the decision to retire from football after representing Wales in the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar.
In another news, the former Super Eagles captain Austin Jay Jay Okocha has also weighed in on the Greatest Player of All Time debate.
