In an unexpected move, Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's legendary striker, has declared that his competition with Lionel Messi, the world's greatest footballer, is over. The rivals have dominated the world of soccer for over a decade, each winning an abundance of awards and titles. But now, it seems, the pair are content to put aside their differences and simply enjoy the game. Whether this newfound peace will last remains to be seen, but it's certainly a surprising turn of events in the world of football
"I don’t see things like that; the rivalry is gone.
“It was good; the spectators liked it.
Those who like Cristiano Ronaldo don’t have to hate Messi and vice versa. We’ve done well; we have changed the history of football. We are respected all over the world. That’s the most important thing,”
Ronaldo said during a recent interview.
Recall that Ronaldo left European football for Saudi Arabia in January this year, after his contract with the English Premier League side, Manchester
On the other hand Messi who won the 2022 World Cup, joined Inter Miami CF in June as a free agent after two seasons at Paris Saint Germain
He became the most decorated football player when he won his 44th trophy after helping the MLS club lift the 2023 Leagues Cup in August.
Could this really be the end of the debate?
