Fans of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo around the world think that their favorite football stars era is coming to an end very soon. It’s absolutely the assumption of the general public. In reality, time will say everything. Cristiano Ronaldo’s video is surfacing on Twitter, where he makes it clear that those who love Cristiano Ronaldo don’t have to hate Lionel Messi, and vice versa.
Now the crazy fans are always in debate, and this is very transparently seen in the social media post comments about who is better: Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? The debate seems to never end, though the star players didn’t see themselves in the debate from that point of view. It is clearly understood that the media creates this hype, and as a result, it creates rivalry among Messi and Ronaldo’s fans.
Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo debate is basically a media hype
After winning the fifth Ballon d’Or, Cristiano Ronaldo said that he is the best player, and this saying created huge internet buzz. Social media taunted him for this claim. It was reported that he didn’t mean to compare himself to Lionel Messi; rather, he said this to keep his sporting spirit up.
Ronaldo added to Robin Bairner,”I’ve never seen anyone better than me. I have always thought that. No footballer can do the things I can. There’s no player more complete than me. I play well with both feet, I’m quick, powerful, good with the head, I score goals, I make assists. There are guys who prefer Neymar or Messi. But I tell you: there’s no one more complete than me.”
A player like Cristiano Ronaldo might use this type of language, but it doesn’t mean that he is better than Lionel Messi. After his words, the media always brings him forward, and Messi’s fans burst into rage in the comment box. A football celebrity like Ronaldo, who has a huge fan base, got slammed following the debate.
Lionel Messi, the King, has never made such a statement in his life that he is the best player on earth. His personality matches his charismatic play. The Argentine star has already proven his worth by getting his lifelong desire, which is the championship in the FIFA World Cup. History will remember him forever.
In an interview with AS in 2019, Messi said that he believes he isn’t the greatest forward ever. He then mentioned the name of Ronaldo Nazario, saying that the Brazilian star is the greatest to get this position.
Actually, Lionel Messi’s greatness is never questioned. His humbleness and personality show his prowess on and off the field. Messi doesn’t need to be told he is the greatest; rather, his achievements make him the one and only.
Ronaldo at last makes it clear that his rivalry with Messi is over
In a recent press conference, Ronaldo said that those who love Cristiano Ronaldo don’t have to hate Lionel Messi. The Al-Nassr start at last made the internet clear about the Messi-Ronaldo debate. The Portuguese star also stated that both of them are good players.
The soccer world was literally waiting for this type of statement. He also emphasized that both of them have changed football history, and they will keep doing this. Basically, it’s not their rivalry; rather, media hype and fans actually made them rivals.
After the clear statement of Ronaldo, as it’s already clear about his thinking regarding Messi, fans will now get space to realize how great both of them are. The soccer world waits to see more good matches from both stars.
Is the Ronaldo-Messi era finished?
According to some anonymous fans and experts, these two giants of football have almost reached the end of their careers. After Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr and Messi to Inter Miami, the fans are not seeing the excitement of their rivalry matches, which they used to get when they were at Barca and Real Madrid.
The age evaluation is also a factor here. Messi is now 36 years old; on the other hand, Ronaldo is 38 years old. It seems that the former Manchester United star might end his career earlier than the Argentine star. However, time will say everything.
Fans of them still wait to see them in rivalry again, as they love to see them. Playing for the opposite team was really a great era for them and for the fans too. The football world will remember these two great players forever.
Leave us your thoughts on whether you think the Ronaldo-Messi debate is over or not.
