Arda Turan ends Messi vs Ronaldo debate: 'Pick Cristiano and we stop talking football'

Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Arda Turan has drawn a clear line in the eternal Messi vs Ronaldo debate, stating that anyone who chooses the Portuguese forward is not worth discussing the game with. “If someone in the Messi and Ronaldo debate picks Cristiano, I’m done talking football with that person,” Turan said. The Turkish manager added that the topic was one of the most heated during the World Cup, and in his view, the argument was settled long ago — with a massive margin in favor of the Argentine. Turan, who recently took over at Shakhtar, has already made headlines with his outspoken remarks. His latest comment on the two superstars has reignited discussions among fans and pundits alike.
