Marco Van Basten, One of The Dutch GOAT, has weighted in with his views in the raging debate of Messi Vs Ronaldo. And he seemed to be carrying a big jerry can smelling awful like Petrol. 
This is what he said, " Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player, but those who claim that he is better than Messi don’t understand anything about football or say it in bad faith. Messi is unique, inimitable and unrepeatable. Players like him appear every 50 or 100 years. As a child he fell into the pot of football genius." Summarily dismissing CR7.

The decision was a harsh one as he was seen just attempting to shrug off a challenge and move forward with the ball. But, referee show it differently.

Lionel Messi has proved himself the GOAT again. Man it is unrealistic. 25 goals and 21 assists in a single season shattering multiple records. However, it is sad to see the player not winning the league because of shaky defence. I hope Barcelona redeems themselves by winning UEFA CL
