How We Spoilt The Greatest Rivalry in Football
My major problem with Ronaldo fan-boys is that they will not allow us to give Ronaldo his much deserved respect in peace.
He is one of the greatest to ever play the game and he is a legend on his own and in his own right. Ronaldo is a phenomenon and he would’ve been someone we will always love to compare with/to Messi.
But his fans went and spoilt everything simply because they will not accept reality. It hurts me to watch my fellow Messi fans insult and disrespect Ronaldo on social media just to prove a point to the delusional Ronaldo fans.
We all know how Ronaldo fans always wanted to discredit Messi and tout him up as only a Barcelona legend. But even after proving them wrong and winning the Copa America and Finalisima with Argentina, the Ronaldo fan-boys still try to find another excuse to either discredit the trophies or understate Messi’s contributions to the victories.
Another way the Ronaldo fan-boys try to discredit Messi is by making outrageous and pathetic claims about Messi’s Balon D’ors. I will not want to put down my research here because I am not a sporting expert and most people will not even want to read a long post, but I did my research after getting fed up with Ronaldo fan-boys whining about Messi winning the 2021 Balon D’or ahead of Lewandoski (that’s a topic for another day) and I discovered that Messi actually deserved every single Balon D’or (and every other award) he ever won.
But the most pathetic of all Ronaldo fan-boys’ delusions came after Messi won the World Cup. This is where they shot themselves in the foot, and I am not even talking about their pathetic cry that the world cup was rigged to favour Messi.
Realising that Messi is now clearly ahead of the Legend Ronaldo, forgetting that in every rivalry there is always a winner, they now try to undermine his status as the best in the sport by bringing in Pele and Maradona; but in doing so, not only did they make it easier for Messi to be confirmed as the so-called GOAT of football, they also unknowingly took the Great CR7 out of the competition. Now Messi is compared only to Pele and Maradona and not CR7 anymore. So Ronaldo is no longer even a competition.
It just spoils all those years of rivalry for me. I wanted to tell my kids that I lived in the era of the rivalry between the two greatest to ever play the game, but now I can’t. The three greatest now played in three different eras. This hurts me beyond words.

Na you Sabi.
