Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the electrifying Paris Saint-Germain winger, has sparked fresh waves in the age-old Messi vs Ronaldo debate with a bold declaration about the Argentine icon.
During a casual live stream with popular content creator Jasontheween, the Georgian sensation was asked to choose between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi—a question that has divided football fans for nearly two decades. Without hesitation, Kvaratskhelia shared his admiration for both legends, but made it clear who stands tallest in his eyes.
“For me, you know I love Ronaldo so much,” he said with a smile. “But of course, Messi is like from another planet.”
The comment comes at the peak of Kvaratskhelia’s own rise in European football. After completing a blockbuster move from Napoli to PSG, the 24-year-old helped the French champions clinch both the Ligue 1 title and their long-awaited UEFA Champions League trophy this past season. His performances have not only elevated PSG’s attacking threat but have also earned him a place among Europe’s elite.
Kvaratskhelia’s words carry weight, especially as someone who grew up idolizing Ronaldo’s work ethic and flair, yet now plays in a league and team system shaped by Messi’s creative influence and tactical genius.
His take adds to the ongoing narrative that while Ronaldo is revered for his physicality, leadership, and goal-scoring record, Messi’s sheer artistry and vision set him apart—even among fellow professionals.
Both Messi and Ronaldo, now in the twilight of their careers, continue to inspire new generations of players, but for Kvaratskhelia, the verdict is clear: Messi is not just great—he’s otherworldly.
