Messi was 35 years old when he won the World Cup and was also named the best player of the tournament, while Ronaldo was 37 at that time and did not perform well in that World Cup.

Today, in the 2026 World Cup context, Messi is 38 years old, just a few days away from turning 39, while Ronaldo is 41 years old. Messi is still performing better in this World Cup than Ronaldo was performing at 37 in the 2022 World Cup. Yet you people still use age as an excuse for Ronaldo. Are you guys not ashamed?

When Ronaldo fans see Sneijder, Nasri, Hazard, Ronaldinho, and other retired players videos or pictures, they insult them and use their appearance to praise Ronaldo. But when Messi delivers masterclass performances on the pitch, Ronaldo fans suddenly bring up age as an excuse for Ronaldo.
The same age you use to praise him and body shame legends like Rooney and others, it’s too obvious. Ronaldo fans are not normal.

This video is a World Cup game against Uruguay by the way.

Ronaldo made the Portuguese federation file a complaint to FIFA, to award the goal to him, and that he touched the ball with his head. The complaint didn’t even progress because of a sensor on the ball.

I have never seen anything like this before. Mind you, this goal was awarded to his TEAM MATE, Bruno Fernandes. A team goal.

Now, you want same team mate (s) he wants to carry him, how can they carry him when he’s always trying to take their spotlight if they even get any.

Cristiano tried to claim the goal on the pitch, but didn’t work. After the game, he kept complaining just like you see in this video, it didn’t work. He then made the federation ask for a review from FIFA,they were ready to present video evidence (I wonder what evidence). It still didn’t work.

It was an adidas ball and they had a chip inside, FIFA and Adidas stood on business. This is technology, you did not touch the ball Ronaldo.

Guess why he needed that goal so bad? He wanted to equal Eusebio’s 9-goal record for Portugal in World Cup history. Eusebio scored all 9 goals in one World Cup. Ronaldo is on his 6th World Cup and has 8 goals. So he is chasing that record with everything. That’s not even the point.

My point is that, you don’t demand respect, you earn it. His attitude to always take the spotlight from everyone is what you see today, he would go the extreme even to steal his team mate’s goal just because of PERSONAL AMBITIONS.

His team mate will score, he will be unhappy because it wasn’t him. It just always be him.

Personal ambition has brought Ronaldo to the level he is, but the downside is that, the extremism of it can make your team mates see themselves as less, and you need them, because it’s a team game.

The Argentines are playing for their careers also, but there’s that extra motivation that they’re playing for Messi, it is not far fetched. A team mate like Otamendi even tattooed Messi on his body, De Paul will die for him, he’s Alvarez’ god, Lautaro owes him everything, Romero would never joke with him, Paredes and Enzo will go to battle with him, Dibu calls him a god, MacAllister said Messi told everyone to stop calling him ginger hair and nobody dared. De Paul said he is accessible and humble.

Messi will put his guys own, he will never say he’s the best, he barely even talks, but still they regard him like mad.

That is a leader you’ll go to battle with, not the one that tries to steal your goal.

Messi went to PSG, Ronaldo started saying the SPL is better than Ligue 1.

Messi went to MLS, Ronaldo said the SPL is much tougher than MLS.

Messi won the Ballon d'Or and Ronaldo said the Ballon d'Or has lost its credibility.

Messi won the World Cup and Ronaldo called it a 6-7 game tournament and even said winning the Euro is much tougher than winning the World Cup.

The list goes on. He is obsessed with Messi, and it is making him go mad because Messi is not slowing down like him.

No win this world cup first

[Fozzy @fozzywrites]

Maturity is realizing that constantly comparing Ronaldo to Messi does a disservice to CR7. It’s simply not a fair comparison and it’s one of the reasons CR7 never gets the full credit he deserves for everything he’s achieved in the sport.

Across all sports, no athlete has a stronger claim to being the undisputed GOAT of their sport than Messi. There is no debate.

[Prophet_Ikuku | Neural Network @Zyyon_]

Cristiano Ronaldo should be grateful he's even being compared to Messi.

He's not close at all.

🚨Eric chelle on the player that impressed him most yesterday:

“Look, everyone probably expects me to say Ronaldo — and to be fair, he’s a fantastic player. But Bruno Fernandes… my word, what a footballer. He’s world-class. My players really struggled to contain him; he was always a step ahead. At one point, Bassey turned to me and said we’d have to break his legs to stop him (laughs).

With him in the team, I have zero doubt — Portugal are winning the World Cup.”

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Signing for Manchester United and How the Club Compares to Barcelona, Milan & Juventus

🗣️Reporter:
Zlatan, you’ve played for some of the biggest clubs in football Barcelona, Juventus, Inter, AC Milan, PSG. What made Manchester United different?

🗣️Zlatan Ibrahimović:
First of all, Manchester United is Manchester United. When the opportunity came, there was no second thought. Some clubs are big because they win trophies, some clubs are big because of history, and some clubs are big because they change football. Manchester United belongs in that category.

“I played for Barcelona, Juventus, Milan, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain fantastic clubs, massive clubs. But Manchester United has a different aura. The name alone carries weight all over the world.”

🗣️Reporter:
Are you saying Manchester United is bigger than Barcelona?

🗣️Ibrahimović:
Barcelona is a giant football club. Nobody can deny that. But when you talk about global recognition, history, supporters across every continent, and the pressure that comes with wearing the shirt, Manchester United is in a category of its own.

At Barcelona, you’re expected to win. At Manchester United, you’re expected to carry the history of generations. Everywhere I travelled, people spoke about United. In Asia, America, Africa, the Middle East the club is known everywhere.

🗣️Reporter:
What was your first impression when you arrived?

🗣️Ibrahimović:
The size of the club. The expectation. The attention. Every training session felt important. Every match felt like an event. I understood immediately why so many legends were created here.

I didn’t come to Manchester United to finish my career. I came to conquer England. People thought I was too old. Three months later, I showed them why Zlatan is Zlatan

That reflects his famous United-era remarks about conquering England and his admiration for the scale of the club.

🗣️Reporter:
One sentence to describe Manchester United?

🗣️Ibrahimović
A football institution. Not just a club an institution. I’ve played for giants, but Manchester United is one of the few names in football that everyone recognizes instantly, whether they watch football or not.

🚨🗣️ Sir Alex Ferguson’s message to PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi after winning the Champions League:

“Nasser, this is Alex Ferguson. Well done, it was a tough night for you, but you played against a BORING team that did nothing but DEFEND. Enjoy your holidays, you deserve it.” #MUFC [@lequipe, @GFFN]

If gidigbo and corners can win you EPL, not UCL...😤😂🤣

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Bukayo Saka completed four passes, did not take a shot on goal & did not create a single chance in nearly 85 minutes of the Champions League Final before he was substituted.

[Wayne Barton @WayneSBarton]

No shots on goal for two hours after the fifth minute, averaged about two passes a minute, one of the most shameful cowardly performances ever seen in a Champions League final. Played for penalties and got what they deserved.

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

Do genuine football lovers watch Declan Rice and say “This guy is the best in the world”?

I feel anyone that does this just reflects self-deception.

Play corners, play set pieces from the centre my God, do long throws, then run up and down the pitch, is that how we choose best midfielders or players now?

He faces real ballers like those two tiny Joao Neves and Vitinha, and still cannot impose himself.

Chat to me, what makes Rice the best in anything?

They’re retweeting BBC sports award 🤣😂🤣 na PFA remain for us.. we are here for the tears 😂
