Google CEO Sundar Pichai Weighs In on the GOAT Debate And He’s Team Messi
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has finally offered his take on football’s most iconic rivalry: Messi or Ronaldo? Speaking candidly on a recent podcast, Pichai didn't hesitate to crown Lionel Messi as the greatest footballer of all time. However, he also acknowledged the greatness of Cristiano Ronaldo, calling him one of the most dedicated and elite athletes he’s ever seen.
Interestingly, Pichai shared that the debate hits close to home literally. It’s been interesting, 'cause my son is a big Cristiano Ronaldo fan, he said with a laugh. So we've had to watch El Clasicos together with that dynamic in the house. He praised Ronaldo’s relentless pursuit of excellence, saying, I’ve never seen an athlete more committed to that kind of greatness.
Yet when asked to settle the legendary debate including Pele and Maradona Pichai was clear: “For me, Messi is it,” he said with a chuckle.
The admiration goes beyond words. Pichai even recalled a recent moment of fanboy joy: watching Messi play live. Had the chance to see him a couple weeks ago he played in San Jose against the Quakes. I had good seats, knew where he’d likely be in the second half. Even at his age, watching him with the ball... there’s just something special. It’s hard to describe, but you feel it when you see it.

Reflecting on high-pressure moments and how he navigates tough times, Pichai credited his ability to "tune out the noise just as a top football manager must stay focused amid media storms and fan demands. You’re going to have a bad season, he admitted, but it’s about staying grounded and leading through it.
