Ronaldo fans ignore the goals.
Can you see how Messi plays?
How he drops deep?
How he controls the tempo of the game?
I ask genuinely: why can’t Ronaldo play like this?
🚨🎙️🗣️| RODRIGO DE PAUL: “When we won the World Cup, a week later I received a golden iPhone. I didn’t know who had sent it. Then Otamendi called me and told me: ‘I received a golden iPhone.’ I said: ‘Me too.’ But we didn’t know the source. I found out that all the players received it, but from an unknown source.”
“Suddenly, Leo sent me a message saying: ‘I hope you like the phone. You are golden players and you deserve the best. This is a simple gift for you as a token of gratitude for what you’ve done for your country and for me. You are soldiers. All the Argentine players received this message, and with great joy, no one used the phone; instead, each one carefully placed it on the wall as a memento. And what a memento. We are lucky to have a leader like him.”

🚨🎙️ Nicolás Otamendi on how Argentina treats Lionel Messi:
“People always ask if we treat Messi differently in the national team.
The answer is yes... and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
We're talking about the greatest player in history.
But it's not about giving him special privileges. It's about understanding who he is and what he means to Argentina.
When Messi speaks, everyone listens. When Messi is on the pitch, everyone runs a little harder. Not because he asks us to, but because he inspires it.
I've played with him for many years, and what surprises me most is his humility. A player who has won everything could act like a king, but Leo is one of the most normal people you'll ever meet.
That's why the dressing room protects him.
Not because he's Messi the superstar, but because he's Messi our captain, our teammate and the man who carried the dreams of an entire country for so many years.
Some teams have great players.
We have Messi.
And trust me, that's a privilege none of us take for granted."
Koulibaly 🗣️: “ I will never forget that day. In the tunnel before the match, I shyly asked Leo if we could swap shirts later. He smiled gently and said ‘OK’.”
“But after the final whistle, the pitch was so crowded, and Leo quickly went inside. I went back to our dressing room feeling a bit sad, thinking: ‘He is a massive superstar, he probably just forgot about me’.”
“Suddenly, the door to our dressing room opened, and everyone went completely quiet. It was Messi. He walked straight up to me, handed me his shirt, gave me a warm hug, Then he smiled and walked away.”
“The greatest player in the world came all the way to our dressing room just to keep a simple promise to me. That is pure class.”
SAMUEL ETO'O: "Cuando Messi ganó el Mundial, lo llamé y cuando le dije ‘Nuestro Campeón del Mundo’, se puso tímido en el teléfono como siempre. Nunca cambia. Siempre es tímido en persona hasta que tiene la pelota en los pies, y ahí se transforma en un Leo diferente. Es querido por todos y es un chico muy humilde."
"Lo que Messi hacía en los partidos no era ni la mitad de lo que hacía en los entrenamientos. En su primera práctica con el primer equipo del Barça, el entrenador Rijkaard nos puso juntos a mí, Messi y Ronaldinho. En solo 15 minutos, Messi marcó 5 goles."
Ronaldinhoy yo nos miramos sin palabras. Muchas de las jugadas que Ronaldinho hacía en los partidos, Messi ya las podía hacer siendo muy joven, pero no las mostraba en los partidos por respeto y porque en el Barça, lo primero era el éxito del equipo, no lo individual. Messi es el mejor jugador que existe."
¡EL CAMERUNÉS SE RINDE ANTE MESSI! 👏🇨🇲
11 years since the Maestro Xavi said goodbye. Winning the Treble, lifting the Champions League, and a stadium full of tears. An elite exit for an elite football brain. 🔵🔴
