Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Chelsea and Arsenal defender, William Gallas, has made some interesting claims regarding Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi and Portugal\u2019s Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s chances at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n

Messi and Ronaldo will lead their respective countries later in November when the 2022 World Cup kick-off in Qatar.<\/p>\n

The duo have been performing on the top level for over 15 years.<\/p>\n

However, this year\u2019s World Cup could potentially be the last World Cup for both players as they are at the twilight of their careers currently.<\/p>\n

Gallas has claimed that expectations will be huge from Messi and Ronaldo in the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar, adding that the Paris Saint-Germain forward will have the edge over his biggest competitor Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

He also added that Argentina is a better team compared to Portugal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor everyone, it will be nice to see both [Messi and Ronaldo] players make a big impact. For the fans, people who love football, it will be great to see them on top,\u201d Gallas told Getting Casino.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t depend on the battle of individuals, it depends on the team. And it looks like Argentina has a better opportunity to go far.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI hope we\u2019re going to see them in the spotlight. As a fan you just want to see them leave that competition in the best way.\u201d<\/p>\n
