On August 22, the Argentine star announced his retirement from international football after winning the Copa América. Recently, in an interview with the media, he was asked who was better, Ronaldo or Messi. He said that Messi is better than Ronaldo because Messi has won more Ballon d’Or awards.
Di Maria played alongside Messi at Paris Saint-Germain. They led Argentina to glory and won the World Cup together in 2022. The winger also played alongside Ronaldo at Real Madrid and won the Champions League with the Portuguese star in 2014.
Di Maria recently retired from international football and talked about his illustrious career. The Argentine believes Messi is better than Ronaldo because he has won more Ballon d’Or awards, igniting a debate that has been going on for years.
Di Maria said, “At the end of the day, the best player is the one who wins the most Ballon d’Ors, and Messi has won eight (Ronaldo has five). So for me, Messi is better.”
In addition, Di Maria said, “Over the past few years, both of them have pushed the sport forward, wherever they have played.”
“They continue to make the world talk about them, and now they are playing in the United States and Saudi Arabia. The competition between them helped develop La Liga, made everyone fall in love with football, even those who were not too interested in the sport. With Messi, the Americans have rediscovered football.”
