Roman Weidenfeller, former Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper who spent 16 years with the Bundesliga giants, has faced off against some of the game’s most lethal strikers. Reflecting on his toughest opponents, he shared some insights (via The Hindu):
“Cristiano Ronaldo was incredibly difficult to read because of his relentless work ethic and confidence. I played against him many times, at Real Madrid and later at Juventus.

“I also faced Robert Lewandowski, who was my teammate at Dortmund before he moved to Bayern Munich. He continues to play exceptionally well, recently winning a title with Barcelona.
“I’ve played against many strong strikers, like Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, and others. But Ronaldo stands out."
For many, Messi's World Cup win has tipped the scales in his favor. But, as we all know, this debate is far from over. In fact, it's a discussion that will likely continue for years to come. Where do you stand on the Messi vs. Ronaldo debate?
