Lisandro Martinez Chimes in on the GOAT Debate, Picking Lionel Messi as the Best Teammate He’s Had
Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez has entered the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate, and he’s siding with the Barcelona legend. In a recent interview with JD Football, the Argentine defender discussed his experience playing alongside both superstars and ultimately chose Messi as the better teammate.
It’s no surprise that Martinez, who has had a tough start to the season with United, would opt for Messi, his fellow Argentine and national team mate. However, it’s interesting to note that he’s had a chance to play with both superstars in different contexts. Martinez teamed up with Messi at the national team level, winning two major international trophies with him, while he also played alongside Ronaldo at Manchester United.
The 26-year-old defender made headlines for his comments, stating, "I think it’s [Messi] the best player." He praised the 37-year-old’s skills, saying, "I saw things that I have never seen in another player… I think it’s the best player."
This decision may come as no surprise, considering Martinez’s close relationship with Messi and their success together. However, it’s interesting to note that Ronaldo also had kind words for Martinez, naming him as one of the players he admired in a recent interview.
So, what makes Messi the better teammate, according to Martinez? For one, his incredible skill on the pitch. As Martinez noted, "I saw things that I have never seen in another player… I think it’s the best player." But it’s not just about his on-field abilities; Messi’s leadership and character also play a significant role.
As Argentina’s captain, Messi has inspired his teammates to great heights, leading by example with his tireless work ethic and dedication to the team. It’s no wonder Martinez, and many others, hold him in such high regard.
So, there you have it – another high-profile endorsement for Messi’s GOAT status. But what do you think? Are you on team Messi or team Ronaldo? Let us know in the comments!
