He shone with Man City and said Messi was better than Ronaldo, now he retires

This goalkeeper lasted twelve years at Manchester City, and played more than 250 games for them, becoming a club legend. In his record, the goalkeeper won two Premier Leagues, one FA Cup, two League Cups, two Scottish Leagues, two Scottish League Cups and one Scottish Cup. This is Joe Hart, a 36-year-old English goalkeeper, who retired today.

When having to choose who to stay with between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the English goalkeeper had no hesitation to answer: “It would be a very difficult decision. "I would be very happy with anyone, but I'll stick with Messi."

Beyond just answering Messi, the Englishman explained his decision: “When you play against him you realize the kind of footballer he is. There aren't many situations where you go out on the field and we're left talking like kids. Sometimes it seems like the guy is just passing by and out of nowhere he starts to surpass everyone. He is always creating something or scoring.”

Joe Hart praised the best player in history:

“In my opinion, Messi is the best footballer I have played against and I have played against many very good ones. It is an honor to share the court with people like him.”
