Tramp Messini Peledan ham kuchliroq deb baholadi
US President Donald Trump expressed the view that Lionel Messi could spark a major debate in the football world. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
He praised the 39-year-old Argentine star highly, comparing him to the legendary Pelé. Trump's remarks come at a time when Messi achieved a notable result at the 2026 World Cup.
The US leader said he enjoys watching the Argentine footballer's movements on the pitch. I can name Messi as the only footballer who, in my opinion, is stronger than Pelé.
Watching Messi play is enjoyable, Trump's words were reported in The Touchline publication. This statement could further fuel the debate over who is the greatest player in football history.
In the final match of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, Argentina defeated Jordan 3:1. Messi started the match from the bench.
However, he came on in the second half and assisted one of his team's goals. In this way, Argentina finished first in the group and advanced to the knockout stage.
Lionel Messi has scored six goals in this World Cup so far. Despite approaching the age of 40, Messi remains one of the main heroes of Argentina's attack.
For a long time, domestic competition in the country has demonstrated his high skill. Comparing Pelé and Messi is considered one of the most complex topics in football.
They played in different eras, under different conditions, and with different playing styles. However, Trump openly stated his preference.
According to him, Messi is the only footballer who could be considered superior to Pelé. This opinion could spark a broader debate among football experts.
