Messi se aposentou.
Cristiano foi aposentado.
Um brilhou e disputou uma final de Copa aos 39 anos. Tinha plenas condiรงรตes e respaldo para seguir na seleรงรฃo, mas escolheu parar. O outro sai apรณs passar vergonha em dois mundiais e brigado com o treinador.
Nรฃo comparem!
๐ญ๐ De Paul when the interviewer asked Messi to choose his prime: โHeโs been playing at the elite level for 20 years. THATโS the prime!โ
Messi was asked to rank the 10 best versions of himself, and he wanted NOTHING to do with it!
He picked Qatar 2022 as No. 1 because of the World Cup, but admitted it might not have been his actual prime.
De Paul eventually stepped in and finished the ranking himself. ๐ญ๐
De Paulโs ranking:
1 - 2022: Kissing the World Cup.
2 - 2009: Header vs Man United, CL final.
3 - 2005: U-20 World Cup.
4 - 2008: Olympic gold, Beijing.
5 - 2011: Champions League final.
6 - 2015: Kissing the Champions League trophy.
7 - 2012: Ballon dโOr / 91-goals year.
8 - 2014: World Cup in Brazil.
9 - 2005/06 - Barcelona.
10 - 2010: World Cup in South Africa.
De Paul just wants to go home with Messi. ๐๐๐๐๐
He doesnโt like when the conversation is about Messiโs career and it doesnโt involve him. ๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Messi has been in his prime for 20 years, De Paulโs right on that one.
