(VIDEO) Ronaldo doesn't do it, the lesson in humility that Messi teaches him against Paraguay

Argentina is playing against Paraguay right now. The domestic leagues had a break, and now, it is the turn of the national teams to play their respective qualifying rounds. That is, the national teams of South America, that is CONMEBOL, play the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. On the other hand, the national teams of Europe fight for a ticket to EURO 2024.

Before the game, the biggest question was whether Lionel Messi was going to be able to play in the game, but why? Lionel Messi was injured the last time he played against Ecuador, about three weeks ago. Since then, he has not even managed to play for Inter Miami. In fact, the Florida club failed to win any of the 4 games it played without Messi.

Lionel Scaloni decided not to start with Lionel Messi, instead, he chose to play with Lautaro Martinez and Julian Alvarez as starters, without Lionel Messi. However, it was already agreed that Lionel Messi would enter in the 50th minute.

Upon entering, Nicolas Otamendi wanted to give the captain's armband to Lionel Messi, as appropriate. However, Lionel Messi told him not to give it to him, since Otamendi is a great captain too. Here, the video of what happened.

Cristiano doesn't do it

This is an image that has practically never been seen with Cristiano Ronaldo, since he is a player who always likes to grab the team's stripes. On the other hand, it's am image that we've seen plenty of times with Messi.
