Track legend Usain Bolt wasted no time in picking his top 3 football GOAT's, featuring Pele and Maradona.

World's fastest man in history, Usain Bolt has picked his top 3 football GOATs, which has Al Nassr forward Christiano Ronaldo on top of the list and the exclusion of Lionel Messi

The track legend regarded as the greatest sprinter in history is a football enthusiast and an avid Manchester United fan. So when asked to pick his all-time favourite footballers, the Jamaican icon wasted no time in selecting the Portuguese icon.

Cristiano Ronaldo won his first-ever Golden Boot for Manchester United in 2008

"Oh my God, I'm just gonna keep it simple. I think Pele and Maradona. My favourite footballer is Ronaldo, so those are my top 3. It's Cristiano Ronaldo," said Bolt in a Tiktok video posted by Complex.

However, Bolt once stated it's difficult to select between the two, stating his reasons.

"It is difficult for me to choose because I support Argentina. I admire Ronaldo since he played for Manchester United, and I support the Red Devils.

"Messi is very talented. From what I’ve learned and listened to over the years, Cristiano had to work to get where he is. I was born with speed and had a lot of talent [like Messi]," said the multiple track world record holder Bolt in an interview with Omnisport, via Essentially Sports.
