This comment immediately became the public spotlight, considering that both Ronaldo and Messi have rarely spoken openly about who is greater between them.
For more than a decade, the two of them have dominated the world football stage by collecting many league titles, the Ballon d’Or trophy and various brilliant achievements at club and national team level.
Now at the end of their careers, Ronaldo is still strengthening Al-Nassr in the Saudi Arabian League, while Messi continues his career in Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami, the club owned by English legend David Beckham.
On the same occasion, Ronaldo also responded to the statement of his former teammate at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, who previously called Messi the best player in the world.
Ronaldo emphasized that he was not offended by this opinion and considered it a normal thing in the world of football.
Even though he is 40 years old, Ronaldo continues to show his sharpness in front of goal.In the 2025-2026 season, he has scored nine goals in 10 appearances for Al-Nassr in all competitions.
With his career with the national team still continuing, attention is now focused on the 2026 World Cup, which may be the last chance for Ronaldo to win the most prestigious trophy in world football and CR7 has the potential to face his eternal rival, Lionel Messi, again.
