People say, “Ronaldo has never been close to Messi.”
Yet from 2013 to 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo dominated Europe, leading the UEFA Champions League year after year, while Messi and Barcelona endured several high-profile eliminations. Football didn’t suddenly begin in 2020.
Internationally, Ronaldo never walked away from Portugal despite repeated setbacks. He kept showing up until he helped deliver the country’s first major trophies. Messi, on the other hand, retired from Argentina before eventually returning.
Even if you believe Messi is the more naturally gifted footballer, talent alone doesn’t define greatness. Greatness is also about leadership, resilience, longevity, adapting to different leagues, delivering on the biggest stages, and changing your nation’s history.
That’s why, for me, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be the GOAT. 🐐🇵🇹
🚨 Statement from the Ballon d'Or official page:
"Cristiano Ronaldo forever. Cristiano Ronaldo has played his final World Cup match."
"Thank you for the endless memories, CR7. Your legacy and your 5 Ballons d’Or are eternal."
🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo, yesterday: "I promise you, if we lose tomorrow, I will leave with my head held high, because I know I gave it everything I had, I really did. I didn't give 100%. I gave 1000%." 💔🐐
Before Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal NEVER played a final in their history.
With Cristiano Ronaldo - in 21 years, Portugal have played 4 finals, winning 3 trophies.
He has rewritten history, he is the history.
DON CRISTIANO RONALDO. 🐐🤍
Libya was the only country in the world with zero debt before the conflict.
So who gave NATO the right to kill Gaddafi?
That's the question Vladimir Putin's been asking.
NATO, US, Europe they never answered.....
Since coming to office 11 months ago on an anti-war promise, Trump has bombed seven countries:
🇮🇷 Iran
🇮🇶 Iraq
🇳🇬 Nigeria
🇸🇴 Somalia
🇸🇾 Syria
🇾🇪 Yemen
🇻🇪 Venezuela
Venezuela has:
– 303B barrels of oil (largest on Earth)
– 195 Tcf of natural gas (top 5 globally)
– Thousands of tons of gold (Latin America’s largest)
– Major diamond deposits
But yeah, totally about drugs and human rights. 🙃
The America First peace president bombing nations, abducting diplomats, sponsoring genocide, hosting a wanted war criminal, pushing destabilization abroad, looting oil and lithium.
The so called world order is a joke.
International law is a prop. Terrorists in suits and ties.
President Trump does not have the constitutional authority to attack another country.
When 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, he should focus on the crises at home, end his illegal military adventurism and stop trying to “run” Venezuela for Big Oil.
I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.
Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.
This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.
