He doesn't give a f***.\u00a0<\/p>\n "Garnacho told me that Messi unfollowed him just because he makes no secret of preferring Ronaldo.<\/p>\n "He comes out, don't care, "I'm a Ronaldo man". Who's the GOAT? Ronaldo. (Even) when he's in the Argentina squad."<\/p>\n Back in 2022 fans suspected Messi unfollowed Garnacho after he shared an image of Ronaldo calling the Al-Nassr star the greatest of all time.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BT BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Only three weeks before the winger posted himself with the Argentina captain and captioned it as "idol".<\/p>\n Having made his senior international debut this year for La Albiceleste, Garnacho has since played three times alongside the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.<\/p>\n But Messi still does not follow Garnacho on Instagram despite the Man Utd starlet following him.<\/p>\n The feud between Ronaldo and Messi has gone on for most of their senior careers and are both regarded as two of the best players in football's history.<\/p>\n
