Muller turns to admire Messi instead of Ronaldo
In September 2022, Muller received a question from ESPN that "Ronaldo or Messi is better?", he answered: "This question is silly, but I choose Ronaldo. Because when I meet Messi, I have a good record. The stats against Ronaldo are not that good."
In March 2023, Muller repeated this idea in an interview in the Spanish media.
After less than half a year, Muller changed his mind in an interview with DAZN, when he was asked who the GOAT was. The Bayern Munich striker this time said: "Messi is the best in history, because people come to the field to watch him play because of his highness, besides records and trophies. Cristiano Ronaldo is also a good candidate when it comes to records. records and titles, but Messi is simply refined and has a higher bar."
Since Messi moved to Inter Miami to play football in July 2023, Muller has also posted many times on Twitter admiring the talent of the Argentine superstar. At the same time, he did not mention Ronaldo even though the striker had just helped Al Nassr win the Arab Club Champions Cup.
Muller is not the first player to change his opinion about GOAT, as midfielder Sergio Ramos once said the same thing. When he was playing for Real Madrid, Ramos thought Ronaldo was the best. But after two seasons with Messi at PSG, he says the Argentina captain is the best.
Messi has just shone with two assists to create a goal for Leonardo Campana, contributing to Miami's victory over the top team of MLS Cincinnati FC in the US Cup semi-finals on the morning of August 24, Hanoi time. After eight games in the US, the 36-year-old striker has scored 10 goals and assisted three times. Miami's opponent in the final is the Houston Dynamo, when Messi and his teammates are playing at home in Florida on September 27.
Ahead of Messi are the first matches in the MLS, meeting the New York Red Bulls, Nashville and Los Angeles FC respectively. In the past few days, he often had to play the full 90 minutes with a density of two games a week. After Miami reached the final of the US Cup, coach Tata Martino said that Messi is tired and may not play the next three games.
