Messi unfollows Garnacho for calling Ronaldo GOAT: In a surprising turn of events that continues to fuel the enduring Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry, Lionel Messi recently unfollowed his fellow Argentine teammate, Alejandro Garnacho, on Instagram. The catalyst for this digital fallout was Garnacho's persistent declaration of Cristiano Ronaldo as the 'greatest of all time' (GOAT). The unfollowing incident reportedly occurred in April 2022, shedding light on Messi's sensitivity towards the ongoing debate over football's ultimate legend.
Alejandro Garnacho, a player fortunate enough to share the field with both Messi and Ronaldo during his stints at Manchester United and with the Argentine national team, has consistently voiced his admiration for Ronaldo's prowess. His unequivocal support for the Portuguese star appears to have struck a nerve with Messi, prompting the latter to sever their online connection.

The revelation surfaced through an unexpected source, as Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand disclosed the incident in a YouTube video. According to Ferdinand, Garnacho candidly shared that Messi did not take kindly to his pro-Ronaldo sentiments and opted to unfollow him on Instagram. Ferdinand commended Garnacho's boldness in openly expressing his preference for Ronaldo, emphasizing the Argentine's nonchalant attitude with a quote, "He doesn't give a f*ck. Garnacho told me that Messi unfollowed him just because he makes no secret of preferring Ronaldo."
This digital clash adds another layer to the intricate dynamics of football's most celebrated rivalry. It's not the first time Messi has exhibited his feelings towards Ronaldo, as recent sightings of the Inter Miami star displaying frustration towards a young fan donning a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey in Miami further underline the intensity and persistence of this enduring rivalry even outside the European football landscape.
