Before Saudi battle, Lionel Messi canonizes Cristiano Ronaldo

4 min read

Throughout the world, football fans are eagerly anticipating the match of the century, as the world’s top two players, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, prepare for their upcoming match at the Riyadh Super Cup on February 1, possibly in the final. 

According to Clutch Points, both players have won an incredible 13 Ballon d’Or trophies between them, so the match that will take place in Saudi Arabia, will be more than just a game; it will be the end of a famous rivalry that has existed for decades already.

There was no denying Messi and Ronaldo’s storied rivalry as they dominated La Liga during the decade of the late 2000s. Messi flourished for Barcelona while Ronaldo made waves with their archrivals Real Madrid during those years. As a result of their extraordinary talent and unwavering excellence, every match between the two is an event that is always anticipated by fans around the world, as their matches have left an enduring impression on the sport as a whole.

There is a long-standing fantasy among fans that they will be able to witness these two masters perform side by side, but that possibility seems far off. Despite this, Messi has expressed his respect for Ronaldo in a 2015 interview in which he expressed his wish to work with the Portuguese captain in the same dressing room. There is no doubt in my mind that it is. I always prefer to play with the best players and he is one of the best in the world. In spite of my opinion that it will be a challenging situation, Messi stated that, “Obviously, I would like to play in the same team as you.”

This year’s Riyadh Super Cup marks a new chapter in the legendary rivalry between Al-Nassr and Inter Miami at the start of a new chapter in their history. There is a real sense of excitement in the stadium, just like there was last year when Messi’s PSG faced Ronaldo’s Riyadh All-Star XI during their matchup. It was a show of technique and goal-scoring ability by Messi and Ronaldo, even though the game ended in a thrilling 5-4 win for PSG despite Messi’s and Ronaldo’s goals.
