While Cristiano scored three goals in Arabia, Ronaldo’s unexpected praise to Lionel Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo blew up the market a couple of months ago when he announced his long-awaited signing for Al Nassr, a powerful team in Saudi Arabia, with a gigantic contract of 200 million euros per season, which is, by the way, the most millionaire contract in the history of all elite sports, beating Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, LeBron James, and even Tom Brady.
At the end of the year 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo lived through difficult moments at Manchester United, a club of which he is a true legend but which nevertheless came out with a bad image, fighting with the team’s board of directors and even with the coach Erik Ten Hag, who did not trust him and did not give him the minutes that the Portuguese wanted. The end of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United was marked by a controversial interview that he gave to Piers Morgan, in which nothing was saved and he answered all kinds of questions.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo dominated world football for more than a decade. However, the debate about who is the best of both ended after obtaining the World Cup in Qatar by Messi and subsequent signing of CR7 to Al-Nassr of Saudi Arabia. Now, while the Portuguese shines in a third order league, the mythical Ronaldo made an 11 historical ideal where he included the top winner of the Ballon D´Or (7) and ignored the former Real Madrid player.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a sensation in Arab territory. In his team’s last commitment, CR7 was dispatched with a hat-trick and excited the owners of the Al-Nassr, who convinced the striker to sign a contract until 2025, in exchange for 200 million euros per season. At 37, the Portuguese team does not stop making goals, whether in a minimally competitive tournament.
For his part, Lionel Messi received a compliment from Ronaldo, world champion with Brazil in 2002 and one of the best strikers in history. The former Real Madrid manager, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, among others, asked him to make his ideal of all time. The Brazilian, who said he was happy for the World Cup achieved by Messi, did not hesitate to include the captain of the Albiceleste and did not take into account Cristiano Ronaldo.
The other Argentine considered by Ronaldo Nazario:
The current president of Valladolid also included Diego Armando Maradona in his historic 11. Diego, who left earthly life in 2020, was world champion in 1986 and one of the best players of all time. Ronaldo’s 11 included Buffon, Cafú, Franz Beckenbauer, Paolo Maldini and Roberto Carlos in the defense. Zinedine Zidane, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho and Pelé appear in the middle of the court. As the only striker he put on.
