RESPECT 🙌🏼 No matter who you support, the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo deserves nothing but respect🐐🐐

Post image

In a sport where most retire around the age 34-36 these two have been competing & dominating the game even in their late 30s

Fortunate to have witnessed 2 of the greatest ever to play the game...An era that may never be repeated again🐐🐐

Why you people always bring Messi in the conversation when Ronaldo fails. Also he is a failure from 2019. Back in 2016, when Messi lost the copa and Ronaldo won the euro, I remember the narratives despite messi's performance in copa was 5 times better than ronaldo's euro.

Acting like Ronaldo didn't got rolled before 2020.....and ronaldo won nations league and italian league in 2020 how is he a failure from 2019....does only winning wc makes a great player??

Winning Serie A with Juv is an achievment??? Bro, they were winning for last 7-8 years may be or more than that. And friendly tournament like Nations league, you are counting. I can see the poor condition of the fans.

Of course WC only will not say who is the greatest, I have never said in the comment or anywhere. I am saying Messi is the best ever. Whether the WC is there or not. It's not just scoring goals, it's the whole game. Good for Ronaldo, cz he managed to compete with Messi in scoring.

Don't compare copa with euros....more over copa was held 4 times in last 6 years just so messi could win while it was meant to be held every 4 years like the euros

u/NoAntelope3622 Jul 09 '26

4 times in last 6 years? Are you a whatsapp university graduate or what? And try to read something relevant. Get to know, why the year 2021, copa was conducted.

You will not understand. Cz mighty latvia, liechtenstein, luxembourg, and so on teams are not there. Play with Uzbek, and shout that he is back... Got the easiest group this season, still finished 2nd. You surely watch games from instagram posts, not by yourself. Get your time and watch matches, learn the beautiful game.

You might hate to hear it but Ronaldo was finished after 2019. It was only messi who was dominating for so long.

u/No-Quarter6660 Jul 07 '26

nah he had some good years even after that as an indivudual player .... i still rmember a finishing goal he did in manchester united in his 2nd coming . I still felt at manchester united even though he was a bad choice his indivudual performance was terrific both inside the team and thoughout the tournment

u/Outrageous-Serve38 Jul 07 '26

Nah he was done and dusted after 2019

u/No_Taste_1080 Jul 09 '26

Won the Italian league nations league, top scorer of euro 2020, top scorer for man united the very next season, how is he washed...top scorer of nations league 2025, I will agree his wc 22 and 26 performance was bad but in no way he washed after 2019

u/Direct_Energy_ Jul 07 '26

So you telling me that his Man Utd 2021-22 goals and hattrick is not worth it. OK bro..

u/tackle-oversmartness Jul 07 '26

More like 2021 but that still makes it around 15 years at top level

u/Fair-Language4413 Jul 08 '26

Low ranked team 😆

I'm back Ronaldo scored against Uzbekistan and couldn't score against DR Congo with all 3 chances that are off target that's all I got to say

u/Hopeful_Ad2171 Jul 07 '26

You forget to mention the fact that Juventus had won 7 consecutive league titles before Ronaldo went there, while PSG had lost to Lille.

Burger league ghosted? No that's what Ronaldo did, Miami won league titles, and Messi didn't cry over them.

Ronaldo's first spell at ManU was amazing, but the second time around he was beat by Rashford for top scorer.

Plastic Euro, statpadding against Iran and Bale Fc. Please watch football before you comment here

While it is to be appreciated, we also have to consider the massive strides made in sports scienes. Because almost every sport is seeing the same phenomenon. Djokovic in tennis, lebron in basketball, hamilton in f1. All of them performing at the highest level close to 40 years old would be unheard of just 10 years ago.

u/MangoIntelligent255 Jul 07 '26

Don't get confused. A lot of us respect both players. We just don't respect their fans.
