Wallahi this is why I hate recency bias .
Ronaldo 3pt the UCL right infront of your eyes (while being the highest goal scorer in all)
Won his first international trophy while the other guy retired
All of a sudden all that is forgotten now ??
WE’VE GOT TO ADMIT IT WITHOUT FEAR
As a lifelong Cristiano Ronaldo fan, if Messi wins a second World Cup, whether i think it was deserved or not… it becomes impossible to deny him.
He has to be recognised as the second greatest footballer of all time.
Still comfortably behind Cristiano GOATnaldo. 🐐
This is what actually vexes me. We’ve watched these two go head-to-head for almost 15 years. If you couldn’t decide who your GOAT was throughout their primes, why are you suddenly using what they’re winning at the very end of their careers to settle the debate?
Did anyone say the debate was over when Ronaldo won his second international trophy? Did everyone suddenly crown him the undisputed GOAT? No. So why should the opposite happen now?
If you think Messi is the greatest, that’s your opinion and that’s fine. But changing your mind solely because of trophies won in the final chapter of their careers makes no sense. Judge their entire body of work, not just how the story ends.
Ronaldo is the Goat, Messi should win 3 World Cup, Ronaldo remains the GOAT.
Lionel Messi, one of soccer’s wealthiest and most famous stars, has become the subject of conspiracy theories from some World Cup watchers who accuse FIFA of displaying favoritism toward him and the Argentine team.
