International break is for archive comps. Who are those players you watched gave you father-son vibes? I will start,Ronaldinho Gaúcho x Lionel Messi

What Messi did by winning the 2022 World Cup with a squad that wasn’t filled with Europe’s elite is the real miracle. The goalkeeper played for Aston Villa. The full-backs came from Sevilla and Benfica, while the center-backs played for Tottenham and Benfica. The midfield was built around Brighton and Benfica players. And the striker was Manchester City’s backup forward.

@Yess_SERG @joshjaph @ZGhaouta @Shadaya_Knight Put your WC trophy on the table

Ronaldo made a semifinal in his first career wc. He beat this same Spain team in 2018 WC BY HIMSELF. Don’t act like Messi has EVER done that for Argentina. Messi would be #1 in career WC penalties….IF HE WASN’T 1ST ALL TIME IN MISSES!!!!!! Also when was the last time you seen Ronaldo touch a ball with his hand???? Just asking for a friend. Because I’ve seen Messi model his countries GOAT in a WC final…..

Ronaldo just faced Spain, meanwhile someone has faced Algeria, Cape Verde and soon Egypt. It's like bro is playing Afcon whilst everyone else is playing the World Cup

@FabrizioRomano @krakenfx Anyone can now win it we don't care

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read. Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo? It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself. After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said: “You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.” It was an obvious dig at Messi. Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire. Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo? The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch. Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies. What happened next? Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse. Then Messi went on to win the World Cup. This time, the excuses changed again. They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say. Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable: “A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.” At first glance, it sounds reasonable. But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved. Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s. Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title. Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said: “The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.” A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled. Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano. By your own standards: * You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8. * You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles. * You never won the World Cup. * You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker. So what now? Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it? If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend. Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends. The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place. That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho. Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it. What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements. Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait. Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance. Good bye. Ronaldo.

Messi - 7 goals Mbappe - 7 goals Haaland - 7 goals CR - 7

😂😂😂😂😂

Old men should retire

Ronaldo fans didn’t even wait till morning before changing their flags from Portugal to France

@barstoolsports Then why is he always crying?

“Before Cristiano, Portugal hadn't won anything… The biggest title I won with the National Team was Euro 2016. For me, it has the same dimension as a World Cup.” Ronaldo went out with a bang

The World is happy

@Cloud43_4 @CFCMods Stay guided my G

@CFCMods All Chelsea fans hate Messi and Barca, I’m shocked where you’re getting yours from.

She made an updated video 😭😭😭

Portugal players right now

@footballontnt What shows he was there?

Cristiano Ronaldo has played against both Zinedine Zidane (born 1972) and Lamine Yamal (born 2007) at World Cups. Longevity.
