This too...?

Ronaldo acknowledging greatness.

Ogunmepon always dey funny me lol. Tomorrow, he'll like a post rubbishing Messi's achievement just like he did with this...
"Factos 👍👀"

Pendu, abeg stay one place lmao.
The only reason why there's no genuine cold war between him and his superior be say that one no send am. If Messi was as egoistic as Ibrahimovic, Osimhen, Ballotelli, Casano or Yamal, them for dey insult/throw shades at each other wella.

Messi is peaceful✌️

Bimmarlykay:
Ronaldo fans and sweet tears.

You see this Messi r@cist talk, I just dey observe people dey laugh because I'm still waiting for one sweet agenda to blossom.

Bookmark, I'll be back on this matter in due time. 😉 😜

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Their principal no gree stay one place true true

He should go back. But e be like say my new world cup team🇵🇹 don get coach wey no send am. Time shall tell...

TrebleChamp:
You saw something?

Yes oo.

fredoooooo:
Na wetin Cristiano wan copy be dis..
Reason why he fought the coach..
We dey wait for his Ipadabo Abija

Ogunmepon wanted to be Messi so bad, it's crazy. He said he wanted 6, 7 and 8 to be above his superior. His dream of 8, is Messi's reality.

"Messi's in the history of football. But I think I have to have six or seven or eight to be above him. I'd love it, I think I deserve it".

All this yesterday Manchester City fans sef

You're fighting a lost battle my man lol.
Iniesta is a literal tree. Carvajal, Walker and Ferreira are all better than Alves. In fact, Dalot or any RB is better than Alves.

Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo, Bale, Benzema, Casillas, Vitinha and Bruno Fernandes are far better than Valdes(terrible), Alba, Pique (slow), Mascherano, Xavi, Iniesta (tree), Busquets (weak), Neymar, Suarez, De Paul and Enzo.

They'll give you a sucker punch if you even try to compare Casemiro with the "weakling" Busquet.

At United, Ronaldo enjoyed the services of Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, etc.

And when it comes to managers, Ferguson(Greatest ever on the planet), Mourinho and Ancelotti are all better than Pep, Enrique and Scaloni.

So, according to them, Ronaldo always had better players and managers to work with.

Yet these same people(ogunmepon FC), will tell you that Messi always had better teammates.

Like their principal, they simply cannot stay in one place.

TrebleChamp:
It was truly an honour watching the two greatest player of their generation play this game, i don't think we will ever see that wonderful rivalry that pushed both of them to achieve all they did.
We are now in General Mbappe, Lamine Yamal and Micheal Olise era....

You're always wise.

Messi’s Argentina odyssey.

Debuted in 2005, World Cup heartbreak in 2014, losing multiple Copa America finals, retiring from international football in 2016, then returning to finally win the Copa América in 2021.

And then came Qatar 2022.
The World Cup. I still cannot believe actually won it. From being told he could never win with Argentina to becoming a world champion and lifting every major international trophy.

Some said he couldn't survive outside the "barca system" with Iniesta, Xavi, Neymar Busquet, Pep and co but he delivered.

Years of pain, disappointment, criticism and tears, but he never stopped trying.
Now, after more than two decades, the journey is over.

He came as a boy.
He leaves as a legend.
The greatest football story ever told.
The greatest ever footballer; Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini.🐐

The Odyssey of Messi with Argentina.

fredoooooo:

Incredible scenes!!!

Tears for Baba Thiago

After 2014, I genuinely thought it was over.

I still can't believe that Messi actually won the world cup. His performances in 2026 was even more ridiculous. Dragging Argentina and even going neck to neck with prime Mbape, Haaland wasn't on my mental list of possibilities.

Truly and without any atom of doubt, The Greatest Ever Footballer. 🐐

My man!!!

Odunharry:
The GOAT

🐐!!!

Odunharry:
Fellow Messi Supporters, it's time already

We full ground!!!

For those who have confirmed from Portuguese sources

Cristiano Ronaldo in 2011 after Ricardo Carvalho left the Portugal camp because he wasn’t starting:

"No one has a guaranteed place. The coach decides"

He’s now done the same thing 😭😂 pic.twitter.com/3rLjRt6nKP

— Johnny Cortes (@johnnycortes) October 6, 2026

Portuguese sources don suffer ontop ogunmepon head.

On the day Messi announced his international retirement, ogunmepon posted "keep pushing". He waited until the day Messi will play his farewell match to make a ridiculous request.

His dream has always been to overshadow Messi but unfortunately for him and in the voice of Bruno Fernandes, "Dreams Can't Be Buy"

Jamiuokolaa:
Me i still think he would come out and debunk those tweets.

At this point, the only logical explanation is that a Messi fan hacked his account and typed that truckload of rubbish.

I know ogunmepon is shameless but mehn...i no wan believe say him matter don worse like this

Wetin be this? You no sabi Pendu be that lol.

If Pendu can do this, he can do anything.

Jamiuokolaa:
He wanted a "praise and worship" presser where the manager would acknowledge him as his lord and personal saviour

And he isnt even ashamed to admit it.

Ogunmepon's case is pathetic

Praise the Lord oh singer, sing on, Pendu's de f.o.a.t.

andrewbaba44:
Wait Ronaldo really wanted the coach to say this ,or na me no Dey see we’ll 😂

Portuguese source never ready. Let's wait.

raumdeuter:
Merino Balon dor

He should be given the bdor. He brought me so much joy during the 2026 world cup.

Nemesis0147:
check Ronald page on instagram….he posted it himself

Na why we dey call am ogunmepon.

Daddy oyoyo!!!

Nezzjnr:
For real?

We're not sure yet. We're obviously waiting for the Portuguese outlet. Could be fake news, who knows....

Coufal don bet. Complete self sabotage.

Leave am, betting is real because what's that.

Nairaland is actually gone oo. What's this?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
It is hard to believe that after 9 seasons with Real Madrid, Ronaldo won just two La Liga title.

In future, I'll revisit this conversation. I dey!!!

BlueRayDick:
When una go tire to dey make excuse for Super Eagles' failures?

It's never our fault nah.

raumdeuter:
That is because its politics, France his NT pushed Mbappe, Bayern his club is pushing Kane

So n one to campaign and push him

That's the media for you.

fredoooooo:
I go sleep for afternoon because of the Game ..

I sleep for afternoon ooo, I no sleep ooo, I must watch. Miss last international game keh.

fredoooooo:
Na like this we dey prepare for our last mat h tommorow...

Game go too sweet lol

raumdeuter:
Olise has been the best player of this International break

The guy is a beast but do you know why he's not in the bdor race?

Ribery my Man lol. I know you'll never forgive Pendu. You talk about this supposed robbery almost every year and whenever I come across this, you always remind me of the Japanese soldier and I'll always understand your grievances. However, you were not better than Messi and Ronaldo that year.

This was the season, FIFA extended the bdor voting deadline from November 15 to November 29, 2013, allowing votes to be changed after Ronaldo scored a hattrick against Sweden.

Recall that Ronaldo won nothing that season, both were eliminated at the same stage(UCL semis to Bayern and Dortmund respectively).

Meanwhile; Messi stats in 2013. No be cho cho cho. 45 goals and 16 assist for club and country.

Honors in 2013
• La Liga winner
• Spanish Super Cup winner
• Individual Awards: European Golden Shoe, La Liga Top Scorer (Pichichi), and La Liga Player of the Season.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
popular opinion : but no premier league player in the past, present , future or even past participle is making it into this lineup up



PS: copied

Hmm so just two(2) Laliga titles is enough to make all time list. At least Zizou can point to something bigger lol. Interesting times ahead...

Jamiuokolaa:
Hehe
The guy be like person wey surround himself with people that only tell him what he wants to hear.
Most likely if his closest padi advises him to retire him weak and stiff muscles, ogunmepon go unfriend and block am everywhere

Lol

Jamiuokolaa:
I wish they can win the tourney

Unfortunately, e be like say spain go dominate everybody till further notice

They can win it. Them disturb Spain wella for world cup. Without Pendu, hope dey.
