Cristiano was closing in on six Ballon d’Ors — suddenly Modrić got one and Messi collected three more.
Cristiano won three FIFA The Best awards — Messi was handed two more.
Cristiano won two international trophies — Argentina somehow got four Copas in six years, a Finalissima and a World Cup.
Cristiano became international football’s record goalscorer — suddenly every Messi friendly started being treated like a World Cup final.
Every time Ronaldo raised the standard, football found a new way to help Messi catch up.
The rivalry was never just Ronaldo vs Messi, It was Ronaldo vs the entire system.
There is a reason why Messi has less UCLs & UEFA Bests than Ronaldo.
UEFA is not Infantino’s corrupt sewer of match fixing, undeserved accolades & rigged penalties.
Thank you everyone 💙🇨🇻🙏
I’ve been trying to reply to as many messages as I can… I think I need a break now, this migraine is real 😅
I’m truly grateful for the love, the support, and everything.
I’m honored 🌟
You pull 19 yrs old Yamal, we pull 19 yrs old Diomande
You pull Pedri WC, we pull Rodri WC Cup
You pull Ferran WC final goal, we pull Mbappe WC final goal
Just make sure to have something to pull when we pull UCL 🤣
🚨💣 BREAKING: YAN DIOMANDE TO REAL MADRID, HERE WE GO! ⚪️✨
Agreement closed tonight with RB Leipzig for fee over €100m for the Ivorian winger.
Diomande will fly to Madrid this week for medical tests and contract signing until June 2031.
DONE. 🇨🇮
Messi’s reputation will be in shambles before this World Cup will end. I need that England vs Argentina game so bad. If England wins good for us, if Argentina wins they will do so with scandals and cheating. Messi will have the English Media as opps for life 😂😂
