Unknown to Gundogan is that football twitter is divided about the greatness of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Naming Messi not including Ronaldo at the expense of his teammate Kevin De Bruyne and youngster Kylian Mbappe brought about negative reactions from fans of the Portuguese superstar and positive reactions from fans of the Argentine maestro see below

Carvajal – Ronaldo's teammate for years says Messi is better

Zidane – Picked Messi over Ronaldo

Mourinho – Ronaldo's countryman says Messi, Pele and Maradona are the GOATs

But Jack Robinson thinks Gundogan is picking Messi beacuse Ronaldo scored a couple goals against Bayern. https://t.co/yv8qbQfq1r

I agree with gundogan, if you were judging players solely on right now forgetting everyone’s reputation and past I’d exclude Ronaldo from top 3. I think it’s Messi and Neymar followed by KDB/Mbappe/Lewa and then the likes of Ronaldo/Mane/VVD/Hazard
