Former Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini unsurprisingly chose Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi when asked to choose between the two superstars. The pair were teammates together at the Bianconeri from 2018 to 2021.
Chiellini recently joined MLS side Los Angeles FC on a free transfer. He will play alongside former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.
In a video with ESPN-FC For her “You Have to Answer” section, Chiellini was asked a series of short questions with a choice of two answers. One of the questions was:
“Messi oder Ronaldo?”
Chiellini showed no hesitation in choosing the Portuguese icon, stating:
„Ronaldo.“

Chiellini and Cristiano Ronaldo have had plenty of success while being team-mates at Juventus for three seasons. They won two Serie A titles together, a Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana.
Ronaldo scored 101 goals in 134 appearances for Juventus in all competitions, becoming the fastest Juventus player to score 100 goals.
Ronaldo left Juventus last summer to return to Manchester United. Lionel Messi also joined Paris Saint-Germain in the same summer, joining from FC Barcelona on a free transfer.
Both players had different first seasons at their new clubs. While Lionel Messi struggled to adjust to his new surroundings, Ronaldo excelled from the start. The 37-year-old forward finished the season as the club’s top scorer with 24 goals in 38 appearances.
Messi, on the other hand, found it difficult to contribute regularly. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner finished the 2021/22 season with 11 goals and 15 assists from 34 games in all competitions. However, the Argentine forward won the Ligue 1 title.
