He is the victim of his own longevity. You watch his clips and find things you’d expect from top midfielders, strikers and wingers, all in one player. Literally made a goalkeeper’s pass look like genius here. He’s genuinely the most complete player in history. 🐐
You think we grew up as kids watching this and was going to drop him for a guy that spams body feints 😂😂😂😂😂. This is the greatest and most complete player the game has seen whether you like him or not.
Funny how Ronaldo was labelled the villain for speaking the same truth, but now you want to celebrate Lisandro for doing exactly that and build him a statue. The difference is that Ronaldo exposed it first and you all chose to turn against him.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable 😂
"Finally" as if Ronaldo didn't do it years ago followed by you idiots all throwing him under the bus for it followed by supporting some random bald man in booting him out of the club 💀
Imagine Haaland having this picture with Norway
Imagine Lewandowski having this picture with Poland
Imagine Hazard having this picture with Belgium
What is a fantasty for other small previously unsuccessful nations is the reality of Ronaldos contributions to Portugal.
🚨 José Mourinho: “Pep Guardiola said something to me yesterday… he won six trophies and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly”.
“I don't want to win by dealing with 150 lawsuits”.
“If I lost, I want to congratulate my opponent”, says — via @MailSport.
back then winning copa america and tournament mvp couldn’t even get you a ballon d’or nomination, but messi was given the award over lewandowski in 2021 because of this same trophy lmao
everything he won is tainted by favoritism and corruption… “greatest of all time” my ass
Messi still has 0 goals against Brazil, Spain, Italy, Germany, England, and Portugal in competitive games
How can you call this dude a goat? He is a fraud
This World Cup gave us the wildest character development
We started by hating Cucurella and somehow ended up loving him. Messi entered as the “humble idol” to some and left looking like the face of anti-football.
Cristiano kept reminding everyone why he’s the most admirable athlete of all time. The world finally discovered that Haaland is very real… especially the girls. Valentín Barco got properly humbled by Bellingham.
And somehow, by the end of it all, Cape Verde became everyone’s dream holiday destination.
What a tournament!
Cristiano Ronaldo will retire with a clear conscience. He earned everything he’s won; nothing was ever given to him. The same cannot be said about Lionel Messi.
Corruption doesn’t win forever, Messi.
FIFA and Infantino may have cleared the path for you in 2022, and they almost completed the sequel in 2026 but this time, football escaped.
And, you didn’t just lose the World Cup final. You lost something no trophy can buy back… THE WORLD’S RESPECT.
The curtain has fallen. The world finally opened its eyes.
At 34 years old, Juventus paid €100 million for Cristiano Ronaldo.
He went on to score over 100 goals, won multiple trophies, and produced one of the greatest Champions League nights ever with that hat-trick against Atlético Madrid.
But apparently I’m supposed to erase all of that because Messi beat Jordan, cheated his way against Egypt and Cape Verde, then picked up a couple of assists against England.
I watched Cristiano Ronaldo lift Portugal’s first-ever major international trophy. I watched Messi retire from international football after another lost final. I watched Copa América become an almost annual event. Everyone is free to defend their GOAT, but I won’t pretend I didn’t witness what happened.
