Former England international Wayne Rooney has offered his prediction regarding the 2026 World Cup final, which is set to feature Spain and Argentina. Rooney suggested that an Argentine victory would solidify Lionel Messi’s status as the greatest player of all time, even among supporters of Cristiano Ronaldo. “If Argentina wins the World Cup, Messi will put an end to all questions, or not?
The debate about whether he is the greatest player of all time. I think even Ronaldo’s fans should respect this,” Rooney stated. He elaborated that while he has previously maintained that the choice is between the two stars, the outcome of the tournament would significantly influence the ongoing debate.
Rooney argued that considering Messi’s performance throughout the current World Cup, combined with his career achievements, would bring a definitive conclusion to the discussion. He noted that at the age of 39, the potential triumph for Argentina would effectively settle the debate surrounding the greatest player in history. The final match between Spain and Argentina is scheduled to take place on April 19.
Rooney’s comments reflect his belief that a victory for Argentina would provide the conclusive evidence needed to settle the conversation about football’s greatest talent.
