DBasia.news – Leonardo Bonucci also joined the debate over who was the best between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He certainly gave his support to CR7, who is now his teammate at Juventus.
The competition between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo has filled the world of football for more than a decade. Both are competing to win various prestigious trophies, individually and in teams.
The consistency shown by Messi and Ronaldo has heated the debate regarding who is the best. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Bonucci didn’t really want to be trapped by this comparison. Instead, he wanted to enjoy the first moment of being directly involved in the duel between Messi and Ronaldo when Juventus travelled to Barcelona’s headquarters on the last matchday of Group G in the 2020-2021 Champions League at Camp Nou, Wednesday (9/12) at 03.00 WIB.
“It’s great to be part of a page in football history. Two great teams will meet and have two of the best in history in their squad, “said Bonucci as quoted by the club’s official website.
“It will be a great match with the spotlight on two aliens competing for individual prizes.”
As Ronaldo’s team-mate, Bonucci will certainly support the Portuguese national player to beat Messi. The trick is of course by not letting La Pulga show his magic on the field.
“With teamwork in the defensive phase, we can stop Messi’s quality and the spotlight will be on the quality of the aliens and champions that we have,” he added.
“I see him (Ronaldo) being sued for the challenge, but the desire to win and be fundamental is a plus for Cristiano.”
Stopping Messi is not an easy job to do. Moreover, Bonucci and Juventus have several times been victims of the greatness of the Argentinian player.
