Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are contesting the fifth World Cup of their career. After more than a decade of dominance in European football, the 'Flea' and the 'Bug' seek to win the coveted title in Qatar. While the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) fights against FIFA, the Portuguese was benefited in an unusual way in his debut in the Middle East.
The Argentine team did not start its presentation in Qatar in the best way. They lost in surprise 2-1 to Saudi Arabia. Despite the fact that he did not show his best level, after the final whistle it was confirmed that the VAR harmed the Albiceleste. In the supposed offside by Lautaro Martínez and in a penalty against Nicolás Otamendi, the technology "forgot" to assist the central judge.

Now, in Portugal's debut against allegedly a weaker squad, in Ghana, the criticized referee saw a ‘non-existent’ penalty in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo. Social media went mad, as fans all over the world expressed their opinion on it. The Portuguese fell in the area and the judge did not hesitate to rule the foul.
However, the amazing and surprisingly talented Ghanaian players claimed the resolution, but from the VAR no one attended and the 'Bug' capitalized the maximum penalty, as he always does, he hardly ever never misses from the penalty spot.
The dubious penalty was not the only favor of FIFA towards Cristiano Ronaldo, since it surprisingly chose him as the man of the match to the surprise of all. CR7 was far from being the most important element of the Euro 2016 champion, even so he took the prize.
