Messi or Ronaldo? Koulibaly surprises by appointing another elite player
The debate over the best football player of the last 15 years continues to divide enthusiasts. Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? Each side has its supporters, and some experts or players have already taken sides.
However, this is not the case for Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly, now a player for Al-Hilal. During an interview with the Saudi Pro League, the former stalwart of the SSC Napoli defense refused to decide between the two legends.
The captain of the Lions of Téranga even added a third name to this prestigious list: his current teammate, Neymar. According to Koulibaly, the Brazilian deserves to be placed on the same level as Ronaldo and Messi.
“Out of respect for what they accomplished, I would never allow myself to compare them. For me, Neymar Jr is on the same level as these two. What he does with the ball is just magical,” he said. Words which should flatter the Brazilian number 10, who remains awaiting his return to the field.
