Sergio Ramos has played with both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, so he surely knows a thing or two about the best players in the world.
Ramos and Ronaldo were teammates at Real Madrid, where they suffered at the hands of adversary Messi while he was at Barcelona for a long time.
Ramos, however, departed for Paris Saint-Germain in July 2021, one month before Argentina icon, Messi, moved from Barcelona to Paris.
Now the 36-year-old has experienced what it is like to play with both legends of the modern game, he is clear about his favourite of the two – the one he would call the GOAT. However, it may be the answer he would have been expected to give, since he was speaking to PSG TV at the time.
As reported by Goal, Ramos told the club’s media: ‘There was suffering for several years playing against Messi. I am now enjoying him.
‘He is the best player football has ever produced.’
Messi holds the record for the most goals scored in the history of El Clasico, so Ramos is possibly glad to have put their past rivalry aside to call the forward a colleague in France, rather than facing the prospect of trying to nullify him yet again.

The 35-year-old has won seven Ballon d’Or awards, and capped off his international career by finally getting his hands on the World Cup trophy as Argentina beat France in Qatar in December.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo may be less than thrilled to discover that Ramos does not rate him as highly as his long-time Argentinian foe.
