You can imagine the disrespect. So annoying to see.
Gary Lineker has officially entered the “say anything about Cristiano Ronaldo for engagement” phase.
Cristiano Ronaldo in the SAME category as Mbappé? 😂
Please be serious.
5 Ballon d’Ors.
5 Champions League titles.
Champions League all-time scoring records.
League titles in England, Spain and Italy.
International trophies with Portugal.
Over 970 career goals and 300+ assists
And somehow we’re supposed to sit here and pretend this man belongs in a conversation with a player whose career is still being written?
You can prefer Messi.
You can worship Maradona.
You can argue R9 had more natural ability.
But trying to drag Cristiano out of football’s highest table is pure revisionism.
And putting Neymar and Mbappé beside him makes it even worse.
Cristiano didn’t dominate one league, one system or one generation. He went to different countries, faced different challenges and kept producing ridiculous numbers.
This is disrespectful and pure dislike.
If Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t in football’s greatest-ever conversation, then what exactly were we watching for the last 20 years?
If FIFA handed Messi the World Cup, how come Mbappe got a penalty by the 118th minute? If I want to rob for Argentina, I will never give France a penalty by the 118th minute. We’ve all seen calls not given in dying minutes in football, so FIFA could’ve easily done that.

So my mother prepared her first bitterleaf soup in 1971. At the end of the day it’s money. Controversy begets visibility, visibility brings fame, and fame equates money. Olodo di nudi nudi.

We prefer to h8 on the lesser evil over the higher ones, subdue the petty thief to jungle justice and the politicians never held accountable. People h8 a serial winner, I bet there won’t be so much noise in the next World Cup, because Messi would’ve probably retired.
As a black person, cheering for France, England, Belgium, or Portugal while demonizing Argentina supporters because "Argentina is a racist country" is peak hypocrisy and intellectual laziness. Mental insanity.
Also bitching about Argentina's squad not having Black players while ignoring the fact that many African national teams have no White players either is pure madness and idiocy.
Applying one standard to Argentina and another standard to everyone else is hypocrisy.
Leave your politics out of this beautiful sport of football and shove it down your anus.
That’s why you shouldn’t believe every Tom, Dick and Harry feigning support until after the final moment. A lot of people are using their support as a bargaining tool, it’s a win win for them.
All the Twitter warriors that have "decamped" from supporting Obi communicated this same thought process on their exit speech.
It speaks so much about our value system as a people.
Imagine me expecting Peter Obi to send me a "thank you" DM because I want a functioning country.
The same thing that made Pele, Maradona and R9 in the GOAT debate is what you’re trying to water down because you’re scared Messi will win it again. I’m sure one of your pet peeves is jealousy.
Why bother performing all season when you can win the Ballon d'Or in one month after playing well against Algeria, Austria, Jordan, Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland?
What is this utter nonsense man? 😭
Physically, Ronaldo IS NOT stronger than Messi.
That takes incredible amount of training.
So when people keep saying "Ronaldo is hardworking but Messi doesn't need to do much, he's talented" - I don't understand.
Ronaldo doesn't work harder than Messi.
He cried when he won Euros, also cried when he won the Saudi league recently, but winning the World Cup is not a dream. Two inferior trophies to the World Cup made you cry, yet…
Argentina has already played two friendlies and I couldn’t even tell you who the opponents were, how Messi played, if he played.. Ronaldo fans genuinely don’t care about Messi tbh
If a non football fan reads your tweet, they’ll think you have 6 champions league, 10 ballon d’or, 20 la liga titles, 20 copa del rey. Your biggest flex is that you knocked us out in a tournament you’ve never won.
The last time I watched Messi play was 2020 against Bayern
These people are secretly in love with Ronaldo tbh... how are you watching a Ronaldo friendly match as a messi fan??
@ronaldowarrior Ronaldo always the better international career. Just because Messi won the WC in 2022 that doesn’t make Ronaldo’s career worse. How did we let this happen man
