The 42-year-old, who turned to coaching after hanging up his boots, revealed his views on the GOAT debate with a bold statement for either one.
“If I had to pay for a player, I would choose [Ronaldo]. I don't think Cristiano will improve as a footballer. He was with God to the best of his ability," he said as quoted by Sportskeeda.

Despite Heinze's verdict, the question of who is better between the two will dominate football fans' minds in the future.
Ronaldo and Messi's free kick comparison
Ronaldo prefers to score from a distance rather than close in on goal. Although his ability to score from outside the box seems to have declined in recent times, the 38-year-old still poses a threat in dead-ball situations. The Al-Nassr star mainly uses the 'knuckleball' technique in set-pieces with very little lateral rotation, allowing the airflow around the ball to direct its trajectory, Sports Brief previously reported.
Meanwhile, Messi's free-kicks feature a unique ankle sprain technique that allows him to swing the ball enough to get out of the fence and over the keeper. He holds the record for most free kick goals in a season.
