Casillas' tweet angers Messi and Ronaldo fans

Former Spain and Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas surprised fans of Portuguese stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi with a controversial tweet directed at Swedish giants Zlatan Ibrahimovic, describing him as "the best ever".

Casillas' tweet came after the decision to summon Ibrahimovic to the Swedish national team again after years in which he was not on the international list due to his advanced age, as he is currently 39 years old.

"The greatest ever .. Ibrahimovic," said Casillas on his official account on Twitter, congratulating Ibrahimovic on his return, at a time when the public has been divided for more than a decade on the myths of Messi (6 golden balls) and Ronaldo (5 balls) as the best in The world, while many believe that Zlatan was wronged by his birth during the time of "the flea" and "the Don".

Ibrahimovic had led Sweden to achieve an important victory over Georgia, on Thursday, in the World Cup 2022 qualifiers, after giving his colleague Clayson a decisive pass that ended with the net.
