Marca Claims Messi Could Be Facing A Losing Battle Against Ronaldo by obembet(op): 8:31am On May 26, 2020
Lionel Messi will turn 33 on June 24

It's at that age when many footballers begin to make plans to retire, but that doesn't seem the case for the Argentine.

Although he hasn't confirmed whether he'll stay at Barcelona long term, he has indicated that his career isn't coming to an end just yet.

There are doubts over how long Messi will want to keep playing for a club like Barcelona, where the demands are at their highest all the time.

Over in Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo has proved his longevity at the top.

The Portuguese international will be 37 by the time his contract at Juventus expires in June 2022 and, given his commitment to keeping in peak condition, you'd imagine that he could play for a while longer after that.

It's unknown how long Messi will want to or even be able to carry on playing at the highest level, although his performances in recent seasons suggest that it could be a while yet.

Instead of staying at one of the top clubs in Europe, the Argentine could decide to wind down in a league like MLS, where his body wouldn't have as much strain.

In any case, every football fan will be hoping he can continue playing like he is currently until he reaches the ages of 36 or 37.

I swear.
The whole thing is contradicting.

Feels like they just wanted to give us something to talk about.

Even if he retires today, he's still the best there ever was

G.O.A.T

"Sportsman of the year."
The only footballer who ever existed to get that title and the first ever to get it.


Like I used to say, it takes some amount of wackness to say Tap-in-aldo is better than Messi. Your taste must be quite mediocre.
That's why Divenaldo has a lot of local wack-base fans on Nairaland and other inconsequential places while intelligent people, professionals, great footballers, retired football legends, managers, football analysts and other great minds out there are the Messi fans.

Another footballer might exist to beat Messi someday but as at now, Messi is the Icon of football/soccer and it's a big insult comparing one Penaldo to him.

Ronaldo no doubt is one of the greatest scorer ever, but Messi is the overall greatest of all times.

Wait. WTF did I just read.

Honest to God, there is nothing in the body of the article that corroborates the headline.

Filing a rebuttal to the headline is easy : Messi is younger than Ronaldo and has achieved more.

The headline of the article is misplaced and embarrassing.

MESSI IS TRULY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

Ronaldo fans, listen and listen good......

Messi was created and born to play football,
the others came to this world to learn the game, and they mastered it....rightly so anyways.


This is the ONLY difference between Messi and the rest that many people do not understand!

MESSI is the G.O.A.T.
END OF DISCUSSION!


As the Yorubas will say "Abinibi yato si Ability!"

Argue with your TV screen! cheesy wink grin

If they retire today, they have achieved what no footballer (s) have ever achieved. They are living legends.

In what sense? undecided
Ok I'm a die hard CR7 fan but I don't see the sense of this post cos Messi is still very much fit & could go on till 38.
Can we stop the comparison of both & just enjoy the beauty of these two GOATs?
