Former Tottenham player Gareth Bale has weighed in on the debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo during a podcast on the theme “keep, sell, or bench.”
It’s worth noting that the 33-year-old player announced last year that he was retiring from football.
However, during his playing days, he was a teammate of Ronaldo at Real Madrid, and together, they won 4 Champions League titles. Gareth Bale’s comments
The former Welsh international was a guest on a PlayStation show before the 2024 UEFA Champions League final in London, where he was asked to play the popular social media game “Start, sell, bench.”
Three names were thrown at Bale for him to categorize: himself, Messi, and Ronaldo.
Bale immediately chose to sell the Argentine, bench himself, and play his former Portuguese teammate. “Selling Messi would bring in the most money. I’m retired and not in shape, so I’ll bench myself and let Ronaldo play,” Gareth Bale said.
The Welsh international sided with Cristiano Ronaldo for this round, but throughout his career, he has always avoided taking a firm stance in the GOAT debate.
For years, several celebrities have been trying to make a choice between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, to determine who is the GOAT.
The two famous players have been dominating the world of football for many years with their talents and performances.
