Messi and Suarez friendship is one of a kind, they love and respect each other.
I love the fact that they are still playing in the same team, probably retire together ❤️🫂
Ronaldo “Conquered England”? 😂
Messi never played a single minute in the Premier League…
Ronaldo had 7 seasons there…
Yet Messi still clears him vs the Top 5 PL clubs 😭👀
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa responds to Cristiano Ronaldo’s claim that the World Cup is just a ‘seven-game tournament’ ahead of Mexico’s clash with South Africa:
“Seven-game tournament? That’s like calling Mount Everest a short walk because it only takes one climb.
Cristiano can say whatever he wants, but the World Cup is the one stage where football stops being a sport and becomes history. Billions watch. Nations stop. Generations remember.
And let’s be honest, these comments didn’t appear from nowhere. Funny how the tournament became ‘just seven games’ after Messi lifted the trophy. Before that, every great player dreamed of touching it. After Messi won it, suddenly it’s being treated like a weekend cup competition.
The World Cup is football’s crown jewel. You don’t shrink the crown because someone else wears it.
Some trophies decorate a career; the World Cup defines eras. That’s why people still talk about Maradona, Pelé, Zidane, and now Messi through their World Cup moments.
If the World Cup is only seven games, then why do legends spend twenty years chasing those seven games?
To me, this sounds less like analysis and more like a man arguing with his own shadow. The trophy he couldn’t catch is now being measured with a smaller ruler.
Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever. But when you call the World Cup a seven-game tournament, it feels like sour grapes served in a golden cup.”
🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo on Lionel Messi after his retirement announcement following the 2016 Copa América final defeat:
“When I saw Messi sitting there in tears after the final, I felt sad for him. People see the trophies, the goals, the Ballon d'Ors… but they forget the pressure he carries every single time he wears the Argentina shirt.”
“Football can be cruel. One missed penalty, one lost final, and suddenly people forget everything you’ve done for your country. But greatness is not measured by one night.”
“Messi has given football unforgettable moments for more than a decade. He gave everything for Argentina, even when the criticism became unfair and personal.”
“I understood his pain because only players at that level know what it feels like to lose a final for your country. The expectations are enormous. Millions expect you to fix everything alone.”
“That’s why I hoped he wouldn’t retire after that defeat. Football needs players like Messi. Rivalries are important, but respect is even bigger.”
“In the end, history always rewards the greatest players… and Messi is one of them.”
GARETH BALE: "En la época de Messi, es un error ir a la liga española pensando que aparecerás allí, porque hay un jugador que gobierna la liga.
"Si eres portero, Messi es mejor. Si eres delantero, Messi es mejor. Si disparas bien Messi es mejor. Si driblas bien, Messi también es mejor. Él no te dará la oportunidad de aparecer."
"Juegas a jugar tu papel como jugador solamente, porque Messi ha llevado el juego a otro nivel. “Puedes ser el mejor, pero no serás como Messi porque ha pasado el nivel de ser el mejor”
¡LO DIJO TODO EL GALES.! 👏😱
