Cristiano Ronaldo will retire with a clear conscience. He earned everything he’s won; nothing was ever given to him. The same cannot be said about Lionel Messi.
Colombia legitimately had a goal disallowed against Portugal.
Croatia had three goals disallowed against same Portugal, with Modric even coming out to say they were robbed.
No one batted an eye. Suddenly, Messi is the bad guy in all of this.
I just realized that Ronaldo competed in the 2004 Olympics with Portugal and exited after the group stage😭😭
Messi has an Olympic gold medal with Argentina
Whoever started this debate needs to be arrested asap
Apparently making 3 out of 6 World Cup finals and winning 1 of them is more embarrassing than making 0 out of 6 World Cup finals. Strange world we live in
🗣️ “Your career is like a video game, you keep unlocking new levels until you reach the final”.
😬🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “I already completed the game at the last World Cup in Qatar”.
Argentina will play in three World Cup finals in the Messi era.
And he led them as their captain, their top scorer, and their best player to all three finals.
Only 6 players in all of history can boast of playing in 3 FIFA WC final matches; none can boast of being their team’s best player in all three.
Do you know the crazier bit? Messi has won two FIFA World Cup player of tournament awards and he will certainly win a third regardless of what happens in the final.
He is above and beyond all. Past, Present and foreseeable future.
