Birmingham City’s Tom Brady has been asked to answer that age-old question. Who is better, Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
Tom Brady has stepped into the world of football in the last few years, purchasing a stake in Birmingham City back in 2023.
Brady watched Birmingham get relegated from the Championship last season, but the current campaign has been much more fruitful.
The Blues broke an EFL record en route to winning promotion from League One and straight back up to the second tier.
Brady has spoken about Birmingham changes recently and has now been asked to answer who is better, Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi?

Tom Brady asked about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo
The duo are two of the greatest players to ever grace a football pitch, winning countless individual and team awards between them.
Fan debate continues to rage over who is the greatest of all time and Brady has now been asked to give his answer.
The NFL legend was speaking on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast this week, discussing a wide range of topics.
One of which was the GOATs of major sports, including football (or soccer for the Americans).
Brady, however, would not give a definitive response to who is better between Messi and Ronaldo.
Instead, he stated: “Messi or Ronaldo? God, that’s hard, that’s hard. I’m not even answering that question. I like them both too much, I like them both too much.”

Tom Brady wanted Lionel Messi at Birmingham City
Messi is currently honing his craft in the United States on the books of MLS side Inter Miami.
The American outfit is co-owned by David Beckham, whom the Birmingham investor has been pictured with several times, including at a clash against Wrexham this season.
On another occasion, back in August 2024, Brady expressed a desire to sign Messi for the Midlands side after linking up with the Argentine and Beckham in America.
He wrote on Instagram under a picture of the trio together: “I’m bringing Lionel Messi back to Birmingham with me. Sorry, David Beckham.”
