The myth that Ronaldo is a better goalscorer than Messi is so funny.
Ronaldo abandoned all the flair to focus on goals so at least he can hold one record.
Messi still does everything, and still a better goalscorer. Sorry.
🇪🇸❤️🚨 @rubenuria: "As I imagine many of you know that Leo Messi has donated €80,000 for the reconstruction of Sierra Oeste in Madrid. As a Madrid resident, I simply want to say thank you to him and hopefully soon he visits the capital of Spain so we can give him a standing ovation first and then the hug he deserves for helping in these very complicated moments, especially when he had zero obligation to do so.
"This gesture from Leo speaks to how great he is both on and off the field. A true gentleman. I know Leo well and I know he doesn't like this to be known or talked about because he doesn't care for publicity, nor does he need it.
"But I do want people to know. Why? Because this isn't Messi's only donation. Just so people know, Messi already donated a significant amount of money to the Red Cross in other parts of Spain. Messi also extended help to combat the effects of that damn DANA [storm] that devastated Valencia and that our Valencian friends suffered from. Furthermore, just so people know, Messi along with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo also wanted to help those affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela.
"Messi, I repeat, does not need publicity, nor does he want it. But at least for me, I damn well feel like making it known. He isn't just the number one of all time on the pitch, but he is also the greatest outside of it. Thank you, Leo, in the name of many Madrid residents, and of course, many Spaniards."
Messi’s equalizer against Egypt.
Being able to experience that live was something else.
When Egypt went up 2-0, the feeling in the air was somber, but the Argentina fans DID NOT STOP SINGING.
Some Egyptian fans were acting disrespectfully towards Argentina fans and were loudly mocking Messi.
Soon after, Messi assisted Cuti’s goal and they went dead silent. No more singing, chanting, or making fun of Messi. They were just clenching.
As soon as Messi scored the second goal, the stadium ERUPTED with cheering from Argentina fans.
The Egyptian fans immediately sat down, still silent.
Here’s the thing though…it wasn’t regular cheering: it was relief.
Relief that we weren’t all about to witness the GOAT go out in such embarrassing fashion and definitely not without a fight.
Watching Leo roll back the years in real time and start dribbling past players at will like as if he were 10 years younger again…the only way I can remotely describe it is that it felt like a religious experience.
We were witnessing true God-given talent in the flesh.
It’s not like we needed it, but it was just further confirmation that what we had witnessed from him for the last 20+ years was anything but a fluke.
