The comedian declared that while he respects those who admire Cristiano Ronaldo, anyone who confidently insists that the Portuguese icon is a better footballer than Lionel Messi should not be trusted with business.

Bovi made the remarks in a video shared on his Instagram page, where he explained why he believes the famous football rivalry can reveal a person's way of thinking.

According to him, personal preference is different from objectively comparing football ability.

"If you say Ronaldo is your favourite player, that's okay. If you say he's your GOAT, that's also okay," Bovi explained.

However, he said the conversation changes once someone insists Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi.

According to the comedian, that conclusion ignores what he considers the obvious reality.

Bovi jokingly advised people to use the Messi-Ronaldo debate as a test before entering any business partnership.

He suggested asking potential business partners a simple football question before investing money with them.

"If he says Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi, pick up your shoes and run," he said.

The comedian argued that people who insist on that position tend to reshape reality to suit their personal beliefs.

According to him, such a mindset could also affect how they handle serious issues outside football.
