In Barcelona, the name Lionel Messi continues to hover like a living legend. But in recent days, a voice from the inside has reignited a debate many thought would never end. That voice is Angel Di Maria.
Who is the GOAT of modern football? For some it is Leo Messi, for others it is CR7. One player can boast of having shared the locker room with both sacred monsters of the modern game, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo: the former PSG, Real Madrid, and Argentina winger Angel Di Maria.
Messi vs Ronaldo: Two Paths to Greatness
In an interview with AS, the Argentine did not settle for vague phrases. He opened the doors behind the scenes. On one side, Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid: obsessive, methodical, entirely devoted to work and effort to reach the top. “Cristiano was 100% focused on work to become number one,” Di Maria says, describing a competitor shaped by discipline and repetition.
CR7 works relentlessly, but Messi is “a gift from God.” On the other side stands Lionel Messi. Another planet. “He was drinking his mate in the locker room and, even so, he was already the best.” No staging, no overacting. Just raw, almost insolent talent, which Di Maria sums up as “a gift from God.”
The contrast is striking: two roads, two philosophies, two ways of touching excellence. And even if Di Maria is careful not to attack Cristiano, his heart seems to have chosen for a long time. World champion alongside Messi, he has never really hidden his preference. This time, he simply said it out loud—and in Barcelona, inevitably, those words did not go unnoticed.
