Sami Khedira Chooses Ronaldo Over Messi in GOAT Debate
Former Real Madrid and Germany midfielder, Sami Khedira, has declared his stance in the long-standing football debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, choosing his former teammate, Ronaldo, as the greatest footballer of all time.
"I’m 100% Team Ronaldo" – Khedira
Speaking to talkSPORT, Khedira emphasized his preference for Ronaldo’s work ethic, consistency, and goal-scoring prowess.
“From my point of view, it’s Cristiano. It’s not disrespect to Messi because what he has achieved and is still doing, especially in the U.S., is amazing."
"But I know Cristiano; I played with him for seven years in Madrid and Juventus. I know him personally quite well, so I’m 100% team Ronaldo."
A Bond Built on Success
Khedira and Ronaldo played together at Real Madrid (2010-2015), winning the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League among other trophies. They later reunited at Juventus in 2018, spending three more seasons together.
