Some Messi fans are feeling sorry for Ronaldo, but I genuinely don't get it.
This is the same fanbase that spent years mocking Messi every time Argentina failed. The same Ronaldo who has taken shots at Messi and constantly fueled the comparisons.
We watched Messi get blamed for everything, lose finals, retire from the national team, and become the punchline of football banter for years.
Nobody was asking for sympathy then.
Why should we suddenly be handing it out now?
Wayne Rooney on Lionel Messi:
"Messi is the best ever. No player can do the things he does."
One of England's greatest players, a guy who competed against the very best of his generation, had no hesitation calling Messi the greatest ever. The respect Messi gets from football legends is unreal. 🐐
