Indian captain Virat Kohli picks his G.O.A.T between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has picked his G.O.A.T between the never-ending debate of Barcelona star Lionel Messi vs the Real Madrid legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. Although the skipper didn't deliver a direct statement, it was evident that he picked Cristiano Ronaldo in a video he posted on his Instagram handle.

The decade-long debacle between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is still to have a conclusion, but Kohli has picked his favourite. Being an ardent football fan, Kohli is the co-owner of the Indian Super League franchise, FC Goa. Currently engaged in a whopping 81-day long UK tour, the 29-year-old took time in getting a glace at the month-long footballing festival, the FIFA World Cup.

Uploading the video of Portugal's tournament opener against Spain, where Ronaldo scored a
sensational last-minute free-kick, Kohli wrote, "Self-belief, determination, courage and pure passion. The G.O.A.T."


Ronaldo started his World Cup journey in absolute style by scoring a hat-trick against the tournament favourites, Spain. In his celebration for the second goal, where David De Gea was at fault, the Portuguese captain stroked his chin, which many believed was a dig to Adidas' poster where Lionel Messi starred alongside a goat.

Ronaldo even went on to don a goat-styled beard when Portugal faced Morocco in the second game of their group. Ronaldo went on to score the only goal, which took his tally to four goals in two games. In his final group stage game though, Ronaldo failed to find the net even after being awarded a penalty.


As for Lionel Messi, the Argentine captain has had a horrific campaign thus far, failing to find the net even once. His horrors started in as early as the first game against Iceland where he missed the penalty. Argentina, eventually, were crushed to a 3-0 defeat against Croatia in the second and will take on Nigeria in a game, which will decide their fate in the tournament.
