Atlanta United eliminate Messi’s Inter Miami from MLS Cup playoffs
Atlanta United staged a stunning upset in Major Soccer League (MLS) Cup playoffs, eliminating Supporters' Shield winners Inter Miami CF with a 3-2 victory at Chase Stadium.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has finally revealed whom he would prefer between Portugal great Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona star Lionel Messi. Both Ronaldo and Messi have enjoyed a stranglehold over the Ballon d’Or for the past decade. The duo shares ten Ballon d’Or awards between them.
The German was asked the question during a quick-fire round by a German TV channel in an interview. Weighing into the debate about who is best between Messi or Ronaldo, Klopp had a little hesitation.
“That’s unfair again – just like [whether I want to win] the Champions League or Premier League,” Klopp told Sky Germany, before adding, “But I would go with Lionel. Although I adore both!”
