Agenda against Messi has swallowed agenda against Ronaldo. I've only seen one agenda against Ronaldo to repost today.
When you people are done murdering each other, you'll come back to the beginning and accept there are 2 GOATS. Until then, continue fooling yourselves.
Interviewer: “Is it true all your money and assets are in your mum’s name?”
Achraf Hakimi: “When I was 18, I couldn’t open a bank account, so my mum collected my money. When I became successful, I just left it that way.”😂
Pedro Porro's grandad drove him thousands of miles as a child to training and matches, helping him chase his dream of becoming a footballer.
Yesterday, Porro returned home and gave his grandad the World Cup winners' medal. Mission accomplished ❤️🏆

Jurgen Klopp has warned that he will walk away from the German National job if the press intrudes on his personal life, adding that he wasn't impressed about how Julian Nagelsmann was treated ⚽️
My GOAT would never lose 2 out of 3 World Cup finals”
Person wey lose 7 finals in the camels league ??🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go and sit down. Make him reach the final first
The contradictions in the way some people discuss football history are astonishing.
Take Pelé, for example. Everyone proudly says he won three World Cups, and rightly so. Yet no one brings up the fact that he missed the 1962 World Cup final through injury. Nobody tries to take that title away from him because the logic is simple: he was part of Brazil’s triumph, so the trophy belongs to him.
But when it comes to Messi, the rules suddenly change. Some claim Barcelona’s 2006 Champions League doesn’t count because he missed the final. The issue isn’t Pelé or Messi—it’s changing the criteria depending on the player.
The same applies to Maradona. He is one of the greatest players ever and led Argentina to World Cup glory, becoming a national hero. But he never won the Champions League or the Copa América, while Messi won the Copa América twice, won the Finalissima, the World Cup, and maintained an elite level for over two decades. That doesn’t diminish Maradona—it simply shows how complete Messi’s career has become.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s case is another contradiction. For years, the World Cup was the ultimate argument used against Messi. The moment Messi won it, many suddenly reduced it to “just seven games.” If the World Cup was the biggest measure before 2022, why did it stop being one after Messi lifted the trophy?
Then comes the excuse that Portugal has “no World Cup history.” But history isn’t inherited—it is created. Spain had never won a World Cup until the generation of Xavi and Iniesta changed that. Argentina’s greatest football legacy was built by players like Kempes and Maradona. The greatest players don’t wait for history—they write it.
Messi didn’t become the greatest because he won the World Cup. By 2022, he already had multiple Ballon d’Ors, four Champions League titles, countless individual records, and was the all-time top scorer and assist provider for both Barcelona and Argentina. The World Cup wasn’t what made his legacy—it was simply the final missing piece.
Pelé has achievements Cristiano doesn’t. Cristiano has achievements Pelé doesn’t.
Messi is the only one who combines the strongest arguments from both sides.
That’s why diminishing Messi’s career has become so difficult. Every criticism seems to require changing the rules, moving the goalposts, or creating new standards that only apply to him.
That’s not a weakness in Messi’s legacy.
It’s a weakness in the argument against it. 🐐❤️🇦🇷
