He also chose the Brazilian Vinicius Junior over the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, while he resorted to choosing the Norwegian Erling Haaland over the French Kylian Mbappe.
When he was asked to choose between Vinicius Junior and Erling Haaland, he chose the latter, while he laughed when choosing between Messi and Lamine Yamal, saying: "The father and the mother", which means the difficulty of choosing between one of the parents, before choosing the Argentine star.
