Lionel Messi crowned the greatest ever after Betis fans clap in appreciation of his sublime third goal for his hattrick
After Cristiano Ronaldo scored all three goals to help Juventus overcome a 2-0 deficit against a strong Atletico Madrid and book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals he was crowned the best ever.
For years, atleast in the last 5 years the argument of who is the greatest ever has been narrowed to both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi with fans divided over who is the football GOAT.
After Maradona who is also in the conversation of the greatest ever described Cristiano Ronaldo as a magician and Lionel Messi a proud Argentine figure, the Argentine wizard has scored 5 goals and assisted 2 in two games.
After scoring 2 and assisting 2 goals in Barcelona 5-1 win against Lyon just a day after Ronaldo performed the unthinkable, Lionel Messi has now added a superb hattrick to make it five goals in two games.
The third goal for the hattrick was so good that Real Betis fans clapped and stood in recognition of the ‘Messi wonder’.
In fact the commentators in their words crowned Lionel Messi the greatest ever saying no one can be compared to the Argentine.
