The lesson of greatness from Lionel Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo that paralyzes the world

Cristiano Ronaldo broke a new mark in his career. The '7' he started this Tuesday in the duel that faced Iceland and Portugal in the framework of the Qualifiers for the Eurocup and reached 200 games wearing the shirt of the Portuguese team at 38 years of age. Now, after achieving that record, Lionel Messi's fans came out to expose Leo's greatness compared to CR7.

The top winner of the Ballon d'Or played against Australia last Thursday, his 175th match with the Argentine National Team. That is to say, 15 less than Cristiano. However, with fewer matches played, the man from Rosario managed to win all possible titles with the Albiceleste. After several disappointments in past years, since 2021 Lionel began to remove the thorn and became the Copa América, Finalissima and World Cup champion.

It should be remembered that he had also previously won the Under-20 World Cup as the top figure in the competition, as well as the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, two titles that Cristiano Ronaldo could not achieve either. On the contrary, the Portuguese was able to celebrate the Eurocup and the UEFA Nations League.

How is Cristiano's Portugal doing in the Qualifiers?

The Portuguese beat Iceland 1-0 as visitors with a goal from Cristiano and reached 12 points. Thus, they positioned themselves as the absolute leaders of Group J and for now they are qualifying above Slovakia, Luxembourg, Iceland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Liechtenstein. It is the fifth goal in four matches for the attacker from Al-Nassr so far in the Qualifiers.
