FIFA President Gianni Infantino has gracefully sidestepped the age-old debate over who is the greater football legend between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Infantino appeared on a recent livestream hosted by popular YouTuber IShowSpeed to promote the upcoming 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, set to begin next month.

When Speed asked the FIFA boss to choose between the two iconic players, Infantino offered a diplomatic response:

“Two great players. Two incredible players.
If you are Portuguese, then you are for Ronaldo.
If you are Argentine, you are for Messi.
If you are a football fan… you want to see both because it is just a lovely game.”

He went on to say:

“I’d love to see them play together. Imagine the two of them in the same team — wouldn’t that be something special?”

Two Legends, One Era

Lionel Messi, 37, currently plays for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS), while Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, stars for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. The two football greats have won 13 Ballon d’Or titles combined and have dominated world football for over 15 years.

As both superstars enter the final chapters of their storied careers, the debate continues among fans worldwide — but Infantino has made it clear: real football lovers simply appreciate both.
