Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has always been a keen observer of the football world, and when it comes to the age-old debate of Lionel Messi versus Cristiano Ronaldo, he has made his preference clear. Wenger believes that Messi is the ‘artist’ while Ronaldo is the ‘athlete,’ highlighting the different styles and qualities that each player brings to the game.

In an interview with SoFoot in 2020, Wenger expressed his admiration for Messi’s creative flair and artistic approach to the game. He stated, “I often say that Cristiano Ronaldo is the athlete-footballer, and Lionel Messi, the exceptional artist, this is the difference between the two. When we like the game, we prefer the artist. The creative makes you discover things that you do not see, that you have not even considered from the stands.”

Wenger went on to emphasize the importance of creativity in football and the need to preserve it in a sport that has evolved towards a more physical and athletic style of play. He acknowledged Ronaldo’s undeniable quality but stressed the significance of nurturing and appreciating the artistic side of the game.

Currently, Messi is showcasing his talents in the MLS with Inter Miami, while Ronaldo is plying his trade with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Despite their advancing age, both players continue to make a significant impact on the field and remain among the top players in the world.

When it comes to their assist records, Ronaldo and Messi have proven that they are not just prolific goal scorers but also adept playmakers. Ronaldo recently surpassed the 900-goal mark in his career and has registered 255 assists so far. On the other hand, Messi is close behind in the goalscoring race with 849 goals and an impressive 378 assists to his name.

In the current season, Messi has been in scintillating form for Inter Miami, contributing 22 goals and 13 assists in 24 games. Ronaldo, on the other hand, has scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 15 games for Al-Nassr. Both players continue to defy expectations and showcase their enduring quality on the field.

As the GOAT debate rages on, it is clear that Messi and Ronaldo have left an indelible mark on the world of football. Their contrasting styles and unique qualities have captivated fans and experts alike, with Wenger’s preference for Messi’s artistic brilliance serving as a testament to the enduring legacy of these two footballing icons.
