Former teammate Miralem Pjanic has stirred the age-old debate by revealing that he had “more fun” playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo than Lionel Messi, reported by GOAL. The Bosnian midfielder, who had the unique opportunity to share the field with both football icons during his stints with Juventus and Barcelona, voiced his admiration for both players but pointed to Ronaldo as the one who brought him more joy on the pitch.

Pjanic, who had 77 appearances alongside Ronaldo at Juventus and 30 with Messi at Barcelona, shared his insights with O Jogo, stating, “I talk a lot with Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a great footballer, the best I’ve ever played with. He is among the two, three strongest players in history. I was lucky enough to play with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and it’s hard to say who is stronger. However, I had more fun with Ronaldo than Messi.”

The Bosnian midfielder’s comments add fuel to the long-standing debate about who holds the title of the greatest footballer between Messi and Ronaldo. While Pjanic acknowledged the immense talent of both players, his personal experience on the field clearly tilted the scales in Ronaldo’s favor due to the enjoyment he derived while playing alongside the Portuguese superstar.

Now plying his trade in the UAE Pro League with Sharjah FC, Pjanic’s perspective provides a unique glimpse into the dynamics of playing with two of football’s biggest legends. As fans continue to passionately debate the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry, Pjanic’s personal insights add another layer of intrigue to the age-old discussion, fueling the ongoing fascination with these extraordinary athletes.
