Walker, who plays full-back for the Sky Blues, took to Instagram on Thursday after his side’s epic win over Burton Albion in the English League Cup semi-final first leg where he called himself better than both the footballing greats of this generation – Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
Highlighting a rather interesting difference between him and Messi-Ronaldo, Walker wrote, “Goals in 2019:
Walker: 1
Ronaldo: 0
Goals in Carabao Cup:
Walker: 1
Messi: 0
End of discussion?”
Both Messi and Ronaldo were neck-to-neck in terms of goal scored in 2018. While Messi scored 51 goals for his club and country combined, CR7 was right behind at second with 49 goals.
