The 'Goat Debate' is the most divisive and dominant topic in football conversation today. Football legends, fans, pundits, and analysts have jarred opinions and made their submissions on who is the greatest footballer of all time.

Notably, Portuguese and Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine and Inter Miami sensation Lionel Messi have been at the center of goat banter among fans and debates by analysts.

Despite playing discretely distinct roles on the field, the two players have been prolific for club and country showing great craft, skills, and signature moves that has won the hearts of football fans. In the past 10 years, the duo have dominated the sport with incredible strides, leading to the unending debate on who is the best between the two.

Amidst the jarring of opinions and viewpoints, Nigeria Super Eagles striker and Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen has snubbed the two as he candidly chose his 'Football Goat.'

Speaking after Nigeria's AFCON match with Guinea-Bissau, the CAF Footballer of The Year chose to go for Napoli and Argentina football legend Diego Maradona as the Greatest Of All Time.


The Chelsea target's verdict is not far from his apparent affiliation with his club legends. Diego Maradona was a club and country legend. Known for his quick, speedy, and crazy dribbling skills, including goal-scoring prowess, Maradona passed as one of the biggest footballing icons in the world. He won the Serie A with Napoli, including the 1986 World Cup for Argentina.

While Osimhen's judgment does not fall far from his loyalty for his club and reverence for their legends, Diego Maradona was a top-class footballer with an enduring legacy in the sport. However, most fans believe the Napoli icon doesn't measure up to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi when the stats are compared.
