While recently speaking to AwayDays' YouTube channel, Bournemouth attacker Antoine Semenyo was asked to pick his side in the Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate in football.

Responding to the question, Semenyo claimed that he's a Messi fan. However, the 25-year-old also praised the Portuguese forward for his consistency and success. He said (via World Soccer Talk):

"Messi or Ronaldo? Messi by a hundred per cent. I never downplay what Ronaldo has achieved - what he's done is unbelievable, and what both of them deliver together is something incredible. But for me personally, I'm a Messi fan."

Semenyo, who has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 16 Premier League games this season, has garnered the interest of multiple other English clubs. Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the 25-year-old, who had 17 goal contributions in the Premier League last season.
