‘It’s impossible that there is another like him’

David Beckham has entered the GOAT debate and reckons Barcelona captain Lionel Messi is a cut above Cristiano Ronaldo.

The two players have dominated European football for over a decade now and between them have won 11 of the last 12 Ballon d’Or awards.

Messi clinched the Golden Ball for a record sixth time in December, and he gets Beckham’s vote when it comes to who is the best.

“He [Messi] is alone in his class as a player, it is impossible that there is another like him.

“He, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not at his level, are both above the rest.”

Beckham also spoke about when he faced Messi in the Champions League for Paris Saint-Germain in 2013, noting: “We were ahead and then he came on and Barcelona scored.”
