Kvicha Kvaratskhelia has his say on the old Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate

Kvicha Kvaratskhelia has his say on the old Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo debate

The Napoli superstar is the latest player to have his say on a debate that has been raging longer than any in football.

Napoli forward Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, the newest superstar in football, is the latest player to answer the infamous question of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the end of series seven of Futurama, bare with me here, which was the last one until the new series comes out at some point this year, the main protagonists Fry and Leela get stuck in time when a time travel device goes wrong.

Right at the last moment, spoiler alert, another character returns and says he can fix time but they'll have to go back to the beginning of their story, "What do you say? Do you want to go around again?," asks Fry.

And, finally getting to the point, it feels like that's how Messi and Ronaldo will spend their lives, engulfed in a constant loop of time with an endless debate about who the best is.

I personally thought that everyone in football had given their input into the discussion when Kieron Richardson recently answered but new footballers are constantly being asked.

The latest is Napoli superstar Kvaratskhelia, who has been ripping it up in Serie A this season, with the Georgian answering in the video below.

Despite the fact that he's been given the name Kvaradona, for his skills in a Napoli shirt, and his playing style might be considered closer to Messi's, the 22-year-old reveals a love for Al Nassr forward Ronaldo.

"I like Ronaldo more as he is my idol, but Messi is the top," the former Rubin Kazan player states, recognising the World Cup winner as the best.

With 14 goals and 16 assists for Italy's top club this season, the newest superstar in world football is hardly the archetypal Ronaldo player.

His stunning solo goal against Atalanta recently, weaving in and out of defenders, was far more reminiscent of one of the two Argentina greats he's been likened to.

Along with Victor Osimhen, the Georgian forward is a huge reason as to why Luciano Spalletti's side are on the verge of winning their first league title since Diego Maradona led them to one in 1990.

Both men have been linked with huge moves away this summer, particularly Osimhen, but the club aren't likely to accept bids that aren't astronomical.

Before potential summer moves, the pair, along with the rest of the team, could even capture European success in the Champions League.

Their kind draw has actually made them favourites to reach the final out of all the teams remaining, and the third favourites to win the whole thing.
