Ronaldo had an interesting interaction in a post related to Messi.
Recently, Portuguese newspaper A Bola published the Top 10 best male players in 2023 by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS). Ronaldo is not on this list and Messi is only ranked 3rd. The leader is striker Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe is 2nd.
This is also one of the rare rankings in 2023 where Messi drops in rankings and does not have the leading position. Previously, Messi swept a series of statistics, winning the Golden Ball in 2023. Below this post, Ronaldo had a feverish interaction.
Ronaldo commented in a post on A Bola regarding Messi
Specifically, Ronaldo posted 3 emojis laughing to tears and one emoji covering his face with his hands. After a few hours, 150,000 people liked Ronaldo’s comment. Next were 15 thousand comments, mainly arguments between fans of Ronaldo and Messi. According to El Futbolero, Ronaldo’s post had the intention of “sarcasm that Messi only won 3rd place in the election”.
Ronaldo’s comment caused a fever with more than 150,000 hearts in just a few hours and the number is still increasing sharply.
Ronaldo scored 53 goals and pocketed 15 assists after 58 matches in 2023. However, because he is playing in Saudi Arabia, CR7’s performance is not highly appreciated.
On the opposite side, Messi has 28 goals and 12 assists in 44 years in 2023. In the first half of the year, Messi played for PSG and with the team successfully defended the Ligue 1 championship. Messi joined Inter Miami of America in the summer, led this club to a historic League Cup. Previously, Messi made a splash with the World Cup championship title in December 2022.
In October, Ronaldo also caused a stir in the online community by commenting 4 smiley faces on an ironic post that Messi did not deserve to win the 8th Golden Ball.
