Ronaldo's face when Bernardo Silva was announced as UEFA Nations League POTT in 2019 , bro really thought he won it after playing 2 out of 6 games. Portugal ain't winning World Cup with him being selfish 😭😭😭
Before World Cup:
"Have you seen 41 year old Ronaldo? He's like a 27 year old. When you see that look when he's getting off the bus, you know he means business" 😹
World Cup starts:
"How do you expect a 41 year old to carry an entire nation for 20 years?" 😹
The beautiful thing about living long enough in this Messi vs Ronaldo debate is watching all the criticism points reverse.
Bad leader, can’t do it without certain players, penalties, mocked chance creation and assists, doesn’t need a good team, international choker
You often wonder why Messi commands so much respect in the Argentine team and it “seems” Ronaldo doesn’t with the Portuguese team, this is primarily because Messi is a selfless person. He puts everyone and the team first. It’s never about him.
He’s not concerned about the records, he wants to put everyone on. He cares about everyone.
Lautaro Martinez was struggling one time to score goals, he was heavily criticised. Argentina had a penalty against Guatemala, I remember that game so much, Messi gave it to him. Lautaro later said in an interview that that gesture changed everything for him. He appreciated Messi publicly.
MacAllister once gave us an idea of how much respect Messi commands. He said everyone joked with him and called him ginger hair in the Argentine squad but he didn’t like it, he said Messi told the guys not to call him that anymore, and nobody dared say it again. Just imagine that level of respect.
Otamendi is close to retirement, and hadn’t scored in a long time for his country. Argentina played Zambia in April in a friendly match, they had a penalty, and Messi forced Otamendi to play it, it was a fun moment, the team was happy, this is what earns Messi respect.
De Paul once said in an interview that Messi does not prioritise himself, but he prioritises the team. He said Messi is so humble, respectful and accessible. This is what a leader is.
For someone who barely says anything, why does he command so much respect? Messi doesn’t go about telling them what he’s won in his career, no ego, he regards everyone, this is why they can die for him. So anytime you see everyone running for him, he didn’t have to remind them that he has carried them on their back before, so now they should carry him😭
Away from Argentina, who remembers when he got to Inter Miami, they gave him captaincy. When Inter Miami won their first trophy, it was time to lift the trophy, and Messi looked for Yedlin, gave him the captain band and they both lifted the trophy together. These are the things that earns you respect.
Listen to every team mate Messi has played with, it’s the same thing. He respects everyone, does not think he’s better than anybody, never arrogant. Never for once had he said he’s the best player, not once.
Isn’t it unbelievable that someone who has won everything in the game acts like a nobody, listen also to how David Beckham described him on STF.
For everything I have said, please verify it. If I can, I’ll post some of these moments in the comments.
In this video, Almada offered Messi his seat, but Messi turned it down and sat on the floor. The respect Almada has for him has tripled, that’s how you do it.
This is Messi's Last World Cup 🥲🥲.
The Football World and the Argentina team in particular should make of these opportunity as much as they can because he won't be back again
Guys please watch this video, there was something at the end of this video, done by Thiago Almada.
Tell me what Almada was trying to tell Messi.
If you watched the game, you know what happened there.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 510 goals since turning 30. Henry meanwhile 411 goals in his entire career. And he has the audacity to lecture Ronaldo on how to score goals !?
He beat you when he was 18, but you're still carrying it with you in your 50s
Fifa hate Ronaldo
Referees hate Ronaldo
Messi fans hate Ronaldo
Media hate Ronaldo
Rivals hate Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s ex teammates hate Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s Current teammates hate Ronaldo
Don’t you people see the need to tell yourselves the truth? 🤣🤣
This is basically your opinion and your opinion can never surpass the fact
The fact is that; LIONEL MESSI is the GREATEST FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME and Ronaldo does not come close at all
Facts are stubborn and doesn’t care about your opinion/emotions
Once again, stick to bet sir
BTW, this was even Messi stats against Saudi Arabia last World Cup
Yet they kept asking "where was Messi" after the loss
The focus was on Messi and not the team
But Ronaldo fans want to gaslight us with "why are you dragging only Ronaldo"
Their gaslighting won't work 😹
R9, the greatest striker calls him the GOAT. Zidane the greatest midfielder calls him the GOAT. Maldini, the greatest defender calls him the GOAT. Neuer the greatest GK calls him the GOAT. Guardiola, the greatest manager calls him the GOAT.
Seriously, has there ever been a more consensus GOAT in any sport ever?
