AC Milan legend and former Ballon d'Or winner Andriy Shevchenko has settled the never-ending GOAT debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
When it comes to legendary footballers, very few come close to the standard, legacy, and talent of Ukrainian legend Andriy Shevchenko.
The former Milan goal machine tore up defences in Italy, and across Europe, leading his side to Champions League glory in 2003 and earning himself a well-deserved Ballon d'Or the following year.
Shevchenko was finally drawn into the endless debate surrounding Messi and Ronaldo.
He gave his thoughts on who the greatest of all time was and did not hesitate when asked.

He appears every 50 or 100 years — 3x Ballon d'Or winner settles Messi vs Ronaldo debate
Who is the greatest footballer of all time (GOAT)? Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?
“Is Messi the best in history? For me, yes. It’s a different era than Pelé and Maradona, but Messi is all of that… Messi is the symbol of Argentina.
"He’s a legend, one of the best of all time. We compare him with Maradona and Pelé. A player like him deserves to win the World Cup,”

“It’s hard to find a player who dribbles and scores like Messi,” the Ukrainian continued.
“He’s the perfect prototype of the 21st-century forward. You can’t even tie him to one position. He’s everywhere, making defenders look clumsy”.
The debate is certainly far from over and there will be many who pick Ronaldo, regardless of Messi's superior achievements, but for Shevchenko, Messi is number one.
