Revenant

A thread on recent encounters between Euro Champions/Giants of Europe vs South American countries. 1) Finalissima 2022: Argentina 3 - 0 Italy

🎙️ Cristiano Ronaldo: It is not my dream to win the World Cup. Do you really want the World Cup to decide the greatest player in history? One competition with 6 or 7 matches—do you think that’s fair?." 🥶 🎙️ Bernardo Silva: I’ve already won two Nations League titles, but those aren’t the main trophies. The ultimate dream is to win a major title—the World Cup or the European Championship with Portugal."

Romario: "You faced both Cristiano and Messi, who was the tougher? Marcelo: "Messi, but man, Messi was...very extraordinary.." 🎥 @Romariotv_ofc

@noLsZzz One goal was Penalty, one goal was GK error. Standards are so low for Penaldo fans 😂

Even tho, I believe his World Cup career to be extremely underwhelming for the player he is (can change) This is unironically the best World Cup performance of the 21st century thus far

@FIFAWorldCup The man with Zero non-Penalty goals in the entire tournament. Mr. Pristiano Penaldo 🐪

Which player do you think of? 🥇 #FIFAWorldCup

First 95 Games 🇦🇷Messi-Inter Miami🇺🇸 🇵🇹C.Ronaldo-Al-Nassr🇸🇦

Surely there’s an obligation in his contract that he must get at least one penalty per game in this league. It’s hilarious

This guy used to be the biggest Ronaldo fanboy ever until he got to witness real greatness

Penalties scored since 2023: Cristiano Ronaldo - 42 Lionel Messi - 3 RIDICULOUS

@PSGINT_ Top 4 Calendar Years: Messi - 269 Goals Ronaldo - 253 Goals

Peak Messi and Ronaldo was insane 253 Goals in 4 years 😭😭💀💀

@HansLandaQ @FootbalTimeX Because that is called "stepping up and taking responsibility at the biggest stage". On the other hand we have Pendu who keeps on stat-padding irrelevant Penalties in Camel League.

@FootbalTimeX Donated? What the fuck is this? Why didn’t he “donate” any of his six penalties at the 2022 World Cup?

🚨| CRAZY STAT: Messi has donated 47 penalties in his career, while Ronaldo has done it only twice.😳 Messi could've scored 1000 goals much earlier.🐐

@FootbalTimeX @Mysticalleo_ And he still has more non-Penalty goals than Cristiano in 170 less games. LMAO 😂

@_common_W_ True 😂

A certain individual would have won 10 or more of these had this been introduced 20 years ago

Free Kick Goals in 2011: Leo Messi 🇦🇷 4️⃣ Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 30 Free Kick Goals Now: Leo Messi 🇦🇷 7️⃣1️⃣ Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 6️⃣3️⃣ Leo Messi 🇦🇷 has only played 1️⃣6️⃣9️⃣ less games than Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹. Ridiculous!

@FabrizioRomano Messi already has 48 trophies you clown 🤡

🚨🏆 There was availability from all the players from Spain and Argentina to proceed with La Finalissima, including Lionel Messi. Messi had the chance to win his 47th official team trophy, another one with Argentina… opportunity missed, now next chance will be the World Cup.

Donald Trump to Messi : "I see many players coming from other countries. They are so great, but they don't win. Leo, you came in and you won. There is even more pressure being put on you because you are expected to win." you came in and you won with all that pressure. Congrats!

🇧🇷🇦🇷 Donald Trump: “Who’s better, Messi or Pelé?”. 🎥 @MargoMartin47

🚨 Since 2018: 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi: 36 Freekicks 35 Penalties 🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo: 11 Freekicks 83 Penalties Clutch vs crutch 🥶

Hey @grok since Pakistan is batting first, by how many runs they need to beat Sri Lanka to qualify for the Semi Final.

@momentmemori Hey @grok who won this match?

If you’ve watched 1999 cricket World Cup, You know who Lance Klusener is. #SAvsWI
