Steven Gerrard has admitted he calls Cristiano Ronaldo ‘the GOAT’ – despite previously insisting that Lionel Messi is football’s greatest ever player.
Ronaldo and Messi have left European club football behind during the final years of their respective playing careers. 38-year-old Ronaldo completed a move to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr at the very end of 2022, while 36-year-old Messi joined MLS side Inter Miami over the summer.
Following Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia this summer was Liverpool legend and former Aston Villa boss Gerrard, who took up the chance to manage Al Ettifaq.
