“With all due respect to him, but I enjoyed seeing him cry, rather than us crying. I prefer Messi over Ronaldo.” The former Southampton man was clear about his GOAT, as he also reminisced about his meet-up against CR7. His national side clinched a narrow win against Portugal, thus eliminating the 2016 Euro winners from the quarter-finals.

Morocco enjoyed a decent spell at the 2022 World Cup, as they become the first African team to reach the semi-finals. However, they were eliminated by the 2018 World Champions France, thus ending their magical spell.

While dipping his feet in the debate, the player also expressed his wish to join the Spanish side, Barcelona. “The club I wish to play for is Barcelona,” said Boufal. His statement must have fumed Ronaldo, who is already facing domestic conundrums.

Hardships with the domestic side continue

While Ronaldo enjoyed a great time with his national camp during the European qualifiers, the player returned to his domestic side. But it seems all his good mood got tarnished after flying back to Saudi Arabia. The skipper and his compatriots continue to struggle in the league, as they recently endured a goalless draw against Al Feiha. They are now three points away from their fierce rivals, Al-Ittihad.

The recent spoiling even saw Rudi Garcia get sacked. The club recently announced the departure of the 59-year-old coach. Either way, the Riyadh club is now looking to get itself back on track and become a competitive side.
