Former Manchester United star, Paul Pogba reveals in an interview that he will pick Lionel Messi ‘every day’ over his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to The Daily Express, Pogba was asked which among the two outstanding players of this generation he preferred during a recent livestream with online personality, iShowSpeed.
During the 2021–2022 season, Ronaldo and the World Cup winner shared a dressing room at United. However, despite the Portuguese’s five Ballon d’Or wins, coupled with Pogba’s lack of experience playing alongside Messi, the Frenchman was not convinced enough to place Ronaldo ahead of the Argentine star.
“You love Cristiano,” Pogba said to Speed. “Some people love Messi because, bro… do you see what he is doing? Messi is different. How can a person so small do this to people?”

Pogba was specifically asked which player he would pick later in the webcast. Additionally, the 31-year-old made it apparent that Messi is the object of his loyalty, even though he maintained a tactful demeanor toward the former Red Devil, Ronaldo.
“For me it’s not Ronaldo or Messi, stop this bull****, bro,” he said. “Who do I prefer? If I have to make a team and I need to score goals, I will take Cristiano. Only to score goals. But if I need a playmaker who can score goals and make assists, I’ll take Messi every day.”
