The former German national was consulted by his followers on social media and leaned towards the Portuguese
Former German international Mesut Özil, a figure in Real Madrid, Arsenal and other teams in the past, and lately marginalized to such an extent that he practically no longer plays with the Gunners, spends it on social media chatting with his fans.
Thus arose an initiative called #AskMesut, which means in English, ask Mesut, and one of his followers consulted him for the eternal debate among lovers of modern football, who was better, if ¿Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?

For Mesut, who was in Cristiano’s band for years when they shared at Real Madrid, there is no doubt. And that he faced Messi on several occasions, so that, more valuable is his response.
“Messi has proven to be one of the best in Spain, but Ronaldo has always been the best in all the countries where he has played,” he wrote in response to the fan who consulted him.
Faced with this, he received many likes and likes, but also many criticisms alike, in an eternal debate that has no clear answer beyond that they are two of the best of all time, although for tastes the colors , and for Mesut, Ronaldo is the best.
Özil, in conversations with his fans, acknowledged that he does not regret wearing the German national team jersey even though he had to give up Die Mannschaft amid racist insults. He also praised several footballers, including Sergio Ramos, whom he defined as “the best defender in the world” in his generation.
