The debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi never ends. But the topic can get annoying, especially for Eden Hazard, who was brought into the limelight by the media. The player, after relating himself to Lionel Messi’s style of play and calling him the ‘GOAT’, has recently given rise to talk that he is against the Portuguese captain. However, the issue has been buried by Hazard after repeated prompting.

The debate has always been fiery, with both players having something new to give every time they play. Hence, the question of knowing the upgraded answer persists. And recently, Hazard was forced by being asked, “Messi or Ronaldo?” to which he replied, “Why do you ask me always the same question?” on being pressed further he said, “Both, I love both.” The former Chelsea star looked tired while answering the same question again.

But it was his take on the matter earlier this month that’s stretching the discussion more. Even though Hazard recently said, “Ronaldo is the GOAT to score goals, to bring trophies to the team,” he initially expressed that he was a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of pure soccer.

The Belgian said, “Cristiano is a bigger player than me but, in terms of pure football, I honestly don’t think so,” implying that spending time with the ball and enjoying the sport was his priority rather than just adding numbers to his career. However, now he has drawn the curtain and chosen both CR7 and Messi after exhaustion.

Hazard had his best years while playing for Chelsea. Reputed for his speed, dribbling, and control, the Belgian was considered a potential star in the making. The player won three POTY awards for his clubs and one English Footballer of the Year award. However, the fans did not like him comparing himself to Cristiano Ronaldo, who hasn’t retired yet.

On the other hand, Ronaldo chose the Middle East and is looking to conquer the unprecedented territory. Al Nassr, despite winning 9 Saudi Pro League titles, has never won the AFC Champions League, and CR7 is untangling the web to get them through. Meanwhile, known for usually responding to claims about him, the striker zipped his lips at Eden Hazard’s statements.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already scored in all three matches this year. The star has now spearheaded Al Nassr to the AFC Champions League quarterfinals and looks more ambitious than ever. Ultimately, the Al Nassr captain looks to be away from all distractions and might give his take on Hazard by the end of this season.
