«The rivalry is over!» | Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi ?

1. Ronaldo is nearer to Neymar than to Messi.

2. Football deserves to watch Messi and Ronaldo play on the same team for 1 game just for the fans

3. What rivalry? There is no comparison between the two. Cristiano is not even the best Ronaldo in the world. ?

4. This is the only person who keeps on talking about the rivalry. Messi doesnt even care, cause for him, hes focused on winning collective awards instead of being selfish. lol

5. Messi > cristiano. More ballon dors and the world cup. But Pele and Maradona are still the greatest ever. Heck even R9 is better than Cristiano.

6. Respect ❤

7. Respect

8. Ronaldo finally gave up, can't deny Messi was always the far better man. Humble words, good sportsmanship. Good luck ?

9. It was one of the intense rivalries ever. Started with a bang in 2008 when Ronaldo won UCL and Ballon D'or. Also both got recognition soon after. Peaked when both were playing in same league and for clubs that really hate each other. Also ended with a bang for Messi when he won World Cup last year. Even though Messi is the winner of this rivalry, it was never a one-sided affair because if I had to make a yearly winner, it was close each year. Eventually the world cup being the decider. Also both players won big for their clubs and countries, respect to both for making my childhood, teenage and adulthood awesome.

10. 8th Ballon D'or Loading….. That's is what CR7 wants more than Messi ?

11. I respect Ronaldo but just imagine Messi coming towards you with the ball

12. Messi is a world cup winner, i just don't understand why people compare the two, one has more balon d than the other. Personally i never compared the two

13. It didn't exist in the first place, I mean Messi – world cup ?

14. Messi greatest player ever FACT and wasn’t even a striker

15. it's over because none of them play in europe anymore.
    all those players that Saudi Arabia has bought and others. everyone has 1-2 years before they have to quit. as they don't mind getting paid well before they quit. and Europe knows they don't need them anymore. them to acquire more young legends. everyone wants and dreams of playing in Europe.

16. Why Messi fan hate so much Ronaldo. I don't think Ronaldo fans hate Messi like that.
    For me both är the legend.

17. Ronaldo's international goal tally is meaningless since every team is 1970 Brazil in European qualifiers statistically, because they play half their games against amateurs. This is why Brazil's WC and WCQ stats are basically the same, while every European team is scoring like half a goal more per game at minimum

18. Messi played for barcelona hos whole life on the best team ever assembled

19. "achievable by the every man" that already shows the disrespect….

20. But Messi is still the king ????

21. Messi is the God of football ⚽???

22. I'm still keeping track of Messi winning lol

23. Not messi vs Ronaldo messi and Ronaldo is better ???

24. I'm a CR7 fan. I have immense respect for Messi and his talent. But everything is going too far for Ronaldo. this is not right. the media is exaggerating everything about him.

    Remember this. A footballer is made up of what he does on the pitch, but also what he does off the pitch.

    Stay humble.❤

    ??❤?❤??

25. Incoming messi ??

26. Am a Messi fan….but I feel sad seeing both of them age out of the game….Ronaldo has earned and deserves the respect of the best striker in the game by sheer hard work without talent

27. Cristiano really wanted to dine with Messi, he says it all the time. Messi take a hint and dine with guy seriously. I feel he would have loved for them to be friends but for sure they are GOATs, its about preference and CR is my guy??‍♀️

28. Those who understand football well, all of them know that a pure striker can never rival a complete player, one can play multiple roles and still be the best in all of them and other can just be a pure goalscorer, so rivalry was just in terms of goalscoring otherwise every football player is under the shadow of Messi

29. Makes sense that Cristiano is the one who announces the end of the rivalry, in my opinion. He turns 39 in february of next year. You're well and truly, far beyond your prime condition at that point in your career, and I think that includes Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Messi is getting up there as well, having turned 36 back in june of this year. He relies less on explosiveness or sustainable work rate these days, which ironically might favor his longevity compared to Cristiano, who's always been known for his discipline in fitness and health.

30. The debate is over when Messi won the World Cup and Ronaldo has won None. No hate to Ronaldo he’s an awesome player but come now let’s stop debating after Messi’s performance at the World Cup and now look at Messi making his team win currently in the MLS bringing them from last place to winning games constantly now with Inter Miami.

31. They should both play together at a charity event under the same team.

32. messi fixed games with fifa

33. the rivalry aside both are legends

34. UCL is the hardest league to play in, Ronaldo owns it Messi don’t even come close.

35. Guys a dull person will always say that Messi is a natural really? and Ronaldo works hard SMH you all dull and talent is talent and it's all give to us frm the lord and you need to work hard to make sure it at it's pick

36. For him it’s over but for his plastic fans it’s not

37. People who prefer Messi love his dribbling because their appreciation is under 10's level. In the history of football, if you're losing and need a single player who can come on and score with either foot, from anywhere, or with a header, it's Ronaldo every time.

38. Grew up watching the likes of R9, Henry, Zidane, Figo, Iniesta, Xavi and Ronaldinho play.
    A few years on, I begin watching the records being wrecked by Messi and Ronaldo week in, week out..

    I can truly say I am blessed to have witnessed all of this in my lifetime ??

39. Of course Penaldo…we understand. The world cup and the super ballon d'or was reserved for the best.

40. Cr7 is the goat ?

41. I don't know why they always fail to remember that Messi is 2 years behind Ronaldo in professional football

42. this is how we should go to wars… playing a football game and who wins wins.. no need for killing inocent

43. I realised no matter how good you are they will still criticise you. # Ronaldo is the Goat

44. I don't understand why Ronaldo would say this. He was always disparaging Messi. A month ago, he disparaged MLS and FIFA. he has inferiority complex about messi

45. A rivalry that never existed and that the dirty media created

46. The greatest individual rivalry in any team sports ever. Something we might never see again

47. Ronaldo may be the GOAT striker/winger, but Messi is significantly better as an overall offensive player, by that I mean Goals+Assists, Key Passes, Progressive Passes, Dribbles, etc. Even without the world cup Messi is the greatest overall player of all time. Really he should be awarded the Super Ballon D’Or for his impact the last 18 years.

48. Leo Messi ??

49. I dont really stay awake at night to watch matches anymore….. Those days are over…..

50. It’s not even a competition please don’t compare the GOAT with a Penaldo.

51. Penaldog and Pessi will never beat Maguire record.
    Maguire GOAT.

52. R7 is doing a pr stunt to try and downplay Messi crowned World Cup Champion and worlds greatest player to “let’s just say we are both in that level” b.s Ronaldo will never ? be the GOAT. Nice try

53. Ronaldo don tire ? .. He needs to Rest from the drama ?

54. Both of them are great players ?❤..I respect them both

55. True, luckily it's over, NOBODY wonders anymore if Messi is better than Ronaldo… As it got proven that Messi is the best in hirtory, nobody thinks that on cr7

56. BS

57. Ronaldo knew Messi was way better

58. it's not over.. over in terms of regular face to face playing but it now based on continually trying to break records and win trophies

59. Imagine a rivalry debate between Ronaldo and the great Leo Messi,Ronaldo is lucky to be in the top 10 of all time greatest

60. The "rivalry" was only in the head of Ronaldo and his fans ….The media then exploited it for clicks…. Fans of football know that there was gap between the players…It's a reason why Gerd Muller doesn't get compared to Maradona.

61. I just consider myself lucky to have been born in this era and I could see both these players play football for the respective teams and we all could see these legends go against each other. It’s like watching Goku vs Vegeta ?

62. The Goku and Vegeta, Naruto and Sasuke, Hashirama and Madara. The greatest rivalry not only in football but in any sports ever

63. Thing is, they can’t be compared because they are too different. In fact it would have been great seeing them on the same team, I think they would have made a good partnership, like Bellingham and Kane

64. Major trophies is influenced by Your team, so it can't determine how phenomenal You are

65. C'mon Leo take him out for a nice dinner

66. what rivalry ? ,messi doesn't give u fk about u , he never even competed with u .Messi didn't care about the stats (goals/assist) unlike u who was obsessed with stats but messi outclassed him in goal/assist per game ???
    And yeah i haven't mentioned about dribbling,playaking ,chances created etc

67. Messi didn't even see him as a rival, it's all his show

68. I hope they somehow make it back to Europe.. Would love to see them playing UCL.. It is just not the same without them

69. It was only ever a rivalry to the man who's never won the world cup and Never for Messi

70. One got nominated the other didnt. Messi is my GOAT

71. Rivalry was already over back in December 2022 but he just admitted it now lol

72. Every media make use of Ronaldo and his every moments and finally decide against him.

73. There was never any rivalry. No debate. Messi has always been the best player. Ronaldo is actually the 6th best player. Coz Pele, maradona, ronado de Lima, zidane and Ronaldinho are better than ronaldo

74. Of course rivalry is over, Messi won World Cup !

75. Messi is the best that has ever happened to world football

76. Nice to see the facts/statistics laid out so clearly, especially from sky news UK! Messi is simply the official?

77. Messi is the greatest passer in the game

78. Messi got 45 trophies

79. I don't think rivalry is an appropriate word. Messi was and is still on a higher level compared to christiano ronaldo

80. Why do these pundits alwaus sugar coat how much better Messi is than ronaldo like it’s not even close

81. Messi played with Barca when CR7played for man utd and real madrid. Barca was the best if not the best assembled team ever whereas Real and Man utd played catch up to Barca's standards. That is what gives Messi an edge but for me its Ronaldo all the way.

82. As a 90s fan and I like both but they had the most easiest era in history. That's facts.

83. Ronaldo announces it because he’s always been the person to speak on them because people ask him more, it’s that simple…. He sometimes doesn’t answer but he happens to now??‍♀️

84. when 3 messi fans meeting each other

85. Ronaldo & Messi in those 2012 El Classicos with Mourinho’s Madrid & Pep’s Barca ???

86. The rivalry is not over

87. Goal per ratio messi as a play maker wow the stats say it all

88. wtf is curly top talking about lol talking about it is easier than being about it.

89. My boy got Botox ?

90. Can argue all they like it doesn’t matter when halland is about to smash ev record and erase them from the conversation and I’m a man United fan and know the future legend is here and united biggest nightmare ever

91. Thank youu to both guys for elevating the sport, there will never be another 2 like them??❤️❤️❤️

92. Ronaldo was the one who had the rivalry. Messi was just playing (and still is) for his team and the fans

93. First off all there was no rivalry.Ronaldo fans should learn that it was permanently put into bed on December 2022.

94. Even though messi is further up in stats… Ronaldo has put some incredible numbers as someone who worked hard vs talent. That's why for me Ronaldo is my favorite player. When I watch Messi I think: "you were born with it. yes you work hard but lets be honest you were playing like that since you were a kid so you were born with it. Ronaldo had to grind to be where he's at". And that you can never take away from him

95. Only Ronaldo talks about a "rivary" never heard Messi talk about a rivary..??‍♂️

96. Ronaldinho is the all time greatest. ⚽️

97. ?

98. messi forever win

99. World cups are now minor details. Such a joke

100. We knew it was over long time ago
