ESPN’s Ale Moreno lauds the legacy of Messi and feels he has now eclipsed the achievements of Diego Maradona and CR7.
Imagine witnessing this in our lifetime. The greatest era of football and the greatest players of all time.
Real Madrid fan agrees #1 goat Messi definitely eclipses Ronaldo of Portugal
A Real Madrid fan of 24 years said. “The first time I watched him in El clasico in 2007, I knew he was going to be the G.O.A.T. I thank Messi for giving us joy and 5 champions league titles. Messi challenged and improved Madrid to new heights even when he was our greatest rival.”
Naming someone the GOAT doesn’t mean you disrespect every player that comes before him… Many great players paved the way for this generation for sure, but there is no doubt that this generation of players have taken the game to the next level. And given everything Messi has achieved, he deserved the title.
Who is No 1 Ronaldo or Messi?
Messi at 35 still contributed at that high level throughout the tournament. He has to be the GOAT.
So many siilarities between the final and the quarter final against Netherlands, the 2 nil up, the equalizing, the penalties. This one was ecstatic, breathtaking and a befitting final. In the end, the best team won the world cup.
Is Messi better than Ronaldo in terms of goals?
It’s incredible to think that after his four final losses for Argentina, he’s now been part of a side that has won three finals in a row since 2020. I really thought he was just cursed with bad luck at international level before Argentina won the Copa America in Brazil.
If you are someone who’s watched Lionel Messi since his debut for Barca, it’s so pleasing to see him finish his career with those achievements, especially a world cup. To do that between the age of 33-35 just makes his legacy even more incredible.
Lionel Messi vs Cristiano Ronaldo GOAT Debate is Over? England Star Declan Rice Thinks So
Messi seems to have ended the GOAT debate between him and Cristiano Ronaldo by winning his maiden FIFA World Cup title with Argentina.
“Lionel Messi. The Best Ever.”, Declan Rice tweeted.
Whether Messi won the World Cup or didn’t, there was never a debate for me, but now the icing on the cake for all. Leo was in the conversation for GOAT at age 23 and now at 35 he still is. Lionel Messi is an immense, breathtaking and a perfect work of art. I thank God for allowing me to witness such greatness.
Seeing you get what you always wanted will always bring a smile to my face.

Why Messi definitely eclipses Ronaldo.

Until Argentina arrived in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, there wasn’t much separating Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Though Messi (7) is a little ahead of Ronaldo (5) in terms of Ballon d’Or trophies, the latter remains the highest-scoring footballer in the world at present. Both the players had won everything life had to offer, barring the FIFA World Cup.
In Qatar 2022, however, Messi made the final leap in his career as he led Argentina to glory by defeating France in the final. Seeing Messi ‘ complete football’, a debate over the real GOAT in world football has reignited, with many suggesting Messi is now clearly ahead of Ronaldo.
Who is the goat in football now?
El Clasico:How many times has Ronaldo beaten Messi?
Messi and Ronaldo have played against each other on 34 occasions, the majority being El Classico matches – and it’s the Barcelona legend that has the edge over his contemporary with 15 wins to Ronaldo’s 10.

Saudi state TV al-Ekhbariya revealed that a deal for Ronaldo had been struck before Al-Nassr posted on social media on Friday evening, calling the former Manchester United forward the “world’s greatest athlete”.
Let’s face it. the way he acted this season, no top tier European club wants that headache in the dressing room.

Man U Fans React to Ronaldo Move to Saudi Arabia League
According to MYSTERY TALKS, It’s really sad to see him play in a league that we don’t even know 😔…..
Poor Ronaldo: He is now back to where he belongs
To be honest, despite all the rumors, I never believed he’d actually sign for them, given things he’s said about playing at the top level, taking a shot at Xavi for playing in Qatar, I thought his pride wouldn’t allow him, but I guess humble pie is humble pie, especially when it’s so enrichening.
“Football is not about the money it’s the passion” – Cristiano Ronaldoonce once said.
I wish him all the best at his new club. I think the timing is right at this stage of his career at nearly 38. It would have been nice to see him back at Sporting Lisbon. It would have been a nice finish for him back where it started.
The 37-year-old left Manchester United last month following an explosive television interview in which the forward said he felt betrayed by the Old Trafford club and did not respect their Dutch manager Erik ten Hag.
With a bit of flexibility and compromise, all of this was avoidable

Imagine Vincent Aboubakar outscoring Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian League.
Just hoping he won’t be benched. The real problem now is who will take the penalties? 👀🙃 Vincent Aboubakar should stay strong. – Elomo PC TheBison said.
Rooney said it. And people thought he was hating. “You can’t be at the top level forever.
Neal Dee said: If CR7 came to the US for MLS, his past deeds in Las Vegas would have come back into spotlight“
He will tell us in the next few days that as a young boy growing up, he always dreamt of playing in Saudi Arabia, This is a dream come true! He loves the passion of the Saudi league 😂😂😂
It’s a shame no one wants him it really sucks but I hope great things happened to him/

Mason Greenwood Coming Back to Take Number 7 Jersey?

Mind Blowing 🔥 Manchester United New Number 7 To Be Introduced To Fans. Man Utd Daily Channel Reports Mason Greenwood Could Be Set to Come Back to Take The Number 7 Jersey Left By Cristiano.
SportsFila weighs into rumors about a new player who will wear the Man United number 7 jersey. Mason greenwood, Garnacho, jadon sancho or Antony ?
Who is the future number 7 of man utd?
Sancho is the main man for that number 7. Man U should have retired Jersey No 7 a long time ago but what to do since they are a commercial club it never materialized.
Is Greenwood returing soon? Why was CR7 Ronaldo removed from Manchester United?
Cr7 televised interview with Piers Morgan, aired in November, drew the curtain on the player’s second coming at Manchester United.
In the 90-minute interview, Ronaldo launched an attack on his then employer. Within days, Manchester United announced that both parties had agreed to terminate the contract.

Ronald leaves Man Utd
Why was dismissal discounted in favour of an apparently more pragmatic solution?
When navigating disputes between employers and employees, all roads lead to the contract of employment. Although professional footballers are atypical employees, employment relations with their club are regulated by a contract.
In their case, a standard Premier League employment contract, which is signed by all Premier League players, including Ronaldo.
Is Mason Greenwood returning to wear shirt number 7?
Mason Greenwood was handed the number 11 shirt at Manchester United for the 2020-21 season.
When he was an 18-year-old, he wore the number 26 shirt until he had a superb breakthrough season at Old Trafford last term as he scored 17 goals in all competitions for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
Greenwood’s superb form saw him called up by England manager Gareth Southgate for September’s international fixtures. Unfortunately, his career is now threatened by legal battles over his ex accusations.
If prison sentence evades the suspended forward, winger Greenwood is expected to play a key role in ten hag’s United first-team squad next season.
Since Ronaldo is gone, it means Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Greenwood could wear the numbers 9, 10 and 7
Greenwood’s potential number change means United’s exciting front three of Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood may be wearing the numbers 9, 10 and 7 respectively.
Under Ole Solskjaer, the Red Devils opted not to give Greenwood the infamous number seven shirt, which has been worn by the likes of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past.
Since Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid in 2009, five players have worn the number seven jersey only for all of them to flop at Old Trafford.
The seven shirt has been worn by a whole host of Red Devils legends over the years, including Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Eric Cantona, but it currently has no wearer.
Alexis Sanchez did don the shirt most recently but it has been free this season after he completed a loan switch to Inter Milan.
Greenwood currently wears number 26, having burst onto the scene this campaign as an 18-year-old, netting 12 goals in all competitions for the first team.
While on suspension, Greenwood is reported to be working out and learning at a rapid rate at the moment.”
Greenwood is likely to get more first team minutes when he returns to football, with clubs now able to name nine substitutes and make five changes during games.

Mason Greenwood Coming Back to Take New Number 7 Jersey?
In June 2020, Manchester United held an intrasquad friendly ahead of the return of the Premier League later this month and Mason Greenwood was seen wearing the number seven jersey.

Cancer Kills Brazil Football Icon Pele At 82

Breaking News; What a Huge Loss; Cancer Kills Brazil Football Icon Pele At 82 years old.
Brazil World Cup legend and global football superstar Pele has passed away at the age of 82.
The all-time great has had several battles with illness over recent years and had surgery to remove a tumour from his colon in September 2021.
In November, he was admitted to Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in Sao Paulo due to “general swelling” before it was revealed in December that his cancer had progressed and needed “greater care related to renal and cardiac dysfunctions”.
SportsFila is saddened by news of Pele’s death
Pele’s passing was confirmed to the Associated Press by his agent this evening, Sportsfila.com has been informed on a sad note.
Including friendlies, Pele netted 1,279 goals in 1,363 matches in all, which is recognised as a Guinness World Record. After two years in the USA, he hung his boots up for good in 1976.
In 1999, Pele of Brazil was named as the athlete of the century by the International Olympic Committee and player of the 1900s by FIFA alongside the late Diego Maradona. He won countless other individual awards during his lifetime, one of which was the 2005 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Lifetime Award.

Cancer Kills Brazil Football Icon Pele At 82
After Brazil’s 2022 World Cup last-16 win over South Korea on December 5, players unfurled a banner in tribute to the country’s hero amid his depreciating condition.
Fabrizio Romano Confirms Pele of Brazil is dead at 82 years
Fabrizio Romano wrote:
Brazilian legend Pelé has passed away, one of the greatest of all time who changed the game.
A man with a god-given talent, one of the historical names who will remain forever in the memory.
Pelé means football.
All thoughts with the family.
RIP, legend 🕊️
Pelé, whose presence for a 1969 exhibition match in Nigeria led to a two-day cease-fire in that country’s bitter civil war so that both sides could see him play, became the only player to win three World Cups when Brazil was again victorious in 1962 and 1970, more than making good on his naive and youthful promise to his father.
Pele’s Health issues
The three-time World Cup winner had been struggling with health issues for some time and was taken to hospital in early December.
Family members spent Christmas morning on Sunday with Pele at the Sao Paulo hospital where the legendary footballer was battling worsening cancer as well as kidney and heart problems, according to a social media post by his daughter.
“He was quite fragile in relation to his mobility,” his son Edinho told Globoesporte in early February.
“He had a hip transplant and did not have a proper, ideal rehabilitation. So, he has this mobility problem, which ends up leading to a certain depression.
