Between the two footballing greats, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Prince William has finally revealed his pick in the ongoing GOAT debate. In a recent interview, the Prince of Wales humorously admitted to injuring himself while attempting Ronaldo’s famous “SIUU” celebration in his backyard. While speaking to The Sun during a visit to Aston Villa’s training facility, Bodymoor Heath, he shared that his attempt at the celebration resulted in a hamstring injury.
Although he acknowledged Ronaldo’s celebration as “the most iconic”, when asked to choose between Ronaldo and Messi, Prince William gave a slight edge to the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner by saying, “Gotta go, Messi, just”. Prince William, an avid football fan and the head of the English Football Association, is frequently seen attending matches, often accompanied by his son, Prince George.
Recently, he supported Aston Villa in their Champions League match against Club Brugge, a historic moment for the club as they compete for their first European title since 1982. His lighthearted comments have added to the never-ending Ronaldo vs. Messi debate, a discussion that continues to divide football fans worldwide.
