Even KSI’s brother, Deji, said on Twitter, “Debate over, Messi is the greatest”. Both of the Olatunji brothers made it clear that Lionel Messi is the best in the world. Also stating that there is no more denying or arguments about this. Even the official YouTube account agreed with the brothers as they replied:

What did the fans say? 

One would assume that the fans would agree with KSI, however, they still had mixed opinions in the comments. Many loyal supporters of other players, such as Ronaldo and Mbappe, presented some counter arguments. Twitter user Andres Rojas said, “A world cup win doesn’t define the greatness of a player. Cristiano is turning 38 on Feb. I want to see if Messi will keep playing at a high level for the next couple of years. Argentina had an amazing team it revolves around Messi. Portugal should have done the same with Cris.”

But there were also many fans who completely agreed with the sentiment and paid their regards to the Magic Man of Argentina.
