Sergio Aguero, a former Manchester City striker, poked fun at Cristiano Ronaldo by commenting on Alejandro Garnacho’s Instagram post praising Lionel Messi
Garnacho, who came off the bench to help Manchester United beat Norwich 3-2, paid tribute to the Portuguese on social media after the game.
Sergio Aguero Mocks Alejandro Garnacho For Post On Cristiano Ronaldo
Garnaco commented on Instagram after the star forward scored his 60th career hat-trick:
“Greatest of all times @cristiano”
After a brilliant performance for the hosts at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen handing Garnacho the match ball.
Aguero’s Response To Garnacho’s Post
Aguero, on the other hand, couldn’t resist the temptation of slipping in a comment to support Messi in the ‘best ever footballer’ discussion. The former Premier League champion penned the following: “cause you still didn’t play with the best pa @leomessi”
Last month, Garnacho was called up to Argentina’s senior squad for their World Cup qualifiers. Unfortunately, the 17-year-old was not given the chance to make his professional debut.
Garnacho’s remarks may have irritated some of his supporters in his birthplace. However, it is evident that Aguero did not like the youngster’s insights.
Will Messi Be Able To Replicate Ronaldo’s Dominance Against Marseille?
Both Ronaldo and Messi have been fantastic in terms of pushing each other to new heights over the years. After a match-winning performance for Manchester United against Norwich on Saturday, the Argentine will be looking to do the same for PSG.
On Sunday, the Ligue 1 giants face Marseille in a rematch. Messi, for example, had a hat-trick of assists in the previous game against Clermont Foot. As a result, against Marseille, the 34-year-old will be desperate to keep his form and steal the headlines.
PSG On The Verge Of Winning Ligue 1
As things stand, PSG leads Marseille by 12 points at the top of the Ligue 1 table. If Mauricio Pochettino and his team win their next game, they will be well on their way to recovering the league crown.
The forward’s performance in such a crucial game for PSG will be interesting to watch. He was ineffective in the rematch between the two sides, as Marseille held PSG to a goalless draw.
Given how much of a statement Ronaldo made with his performance, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will be desperate to make a much better performance. Whether he succeeds or not remains to be seen.
