The former German was consulted by his followers on social networks and leaned towards the Portuguese
Former Germany international Mesut Özil, who has played in Real Madrid, Arsenal and other teams in the past and has been so marginalized recently that he practically no longer plays with the Gunners, spends his time on social media and chatting with his fans.
Thus an initiative was born called #AskMesut, which in English means, ask Mesut, and one of his followers consulted him about the eternal debate among modern football fans, who was better than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?

For Mesut, who has been with Cristiano for years when they split at Real Madrid, there is no doubt. And that he faced Messi several times, which makes his response more valuable.
“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.
Given this, he received a lot of likes and likes, but also a lot of criticism, in an eternal debate that has no clear answer, other than that they are two of the best of all time, though, to taste the colors, and for Mesut, Ronaldo is the best.
Ozil, in conversations with his followers, acknowledged that he does not regret wearing the German national team shirt, despite having to stop at Die Mannschaft amid racist insults. And he also praised several footballers, including Sergio Ramos, whom he described as “the best defender in the world” of his generation.
