As a Chelsea and football fan, it's been an honor to witness Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi play against each other and enjoy one of the greatest rivalries in football history. I like and respect both of them a lot. 80 Likes 4 Shares |

As much as I respect Eden Hazard as a Chelsea fan, he was never as hungry or as driven as Ronaldo and Messi. 29 Likes 2 Shares |

For me I see one (Messi) as being very talented, mildly introverted, and hardworking. That guy standing positioning alone na dribble. I see the other (Ronaldo) as an averagely talented, highly extroverted, and very very hardworking. I will always pick hard work over talent anyday, hence my reason for being a Ronaldo fan 48 Likes 6 Shares |

Lionel Messi made history as the first male player to participate in six separate FIFA World Cup tournaments, spanning three distinct decades: 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2026. His World Cup journey across the decades highlights his evolution from a teenage prodigy to the ultimate champion: • The 2000s (2006 Germany): Messi debuted as an 18-year-old in 2006, scoring his first World Cup goal against Serbia and becoming Argentina's youngest-ever goalscorer in the tournament. • The 2010s (2010 South Africa, 2014 Brazil, 2018 Russia): Messi established himself as the focal point of the national team. He led Argentina to the World Cup Final in 2014—winning the Golden Ball as the tournament's best player. • The 2020s (2022 Qatar, 2026 North America): Messi captained Argentina to their historic 2022 World Cup victory over France. In 2026, at 39 years old, he extended his all-time tournament records to 33 appearances, 21 goals, and 12 assists. 24 Likes 6 Shares |

It's indeed a privilege watching Messi play. He makes football so easy. Even at 39, other players at their prime can't even lace his boots. 36 Likes 2 Shares |

The only one and first of his name. I watched the boy from Rosario during the 2005 fifa U20 in the Netherlands where he won the competition and won the best player. Then he announced himself in a classico with a hatrick challenging the stars of the day. I watched the boy become a legend, the legend of Messi, the legend is becoming a myth right in front of us. In time to come, kids will think Ankara Messi is AI. But we will remind them that it's not ai because we were there in the viewing centers when it happened. 38 Likes 4 Shares |
