While Cristiano claimed a goal that wasn't his, Lionel Messi's lesson in humility

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo dominated football for more than a decade and between them they fought for all the individual awards. However, they have completely different personalities and this is reflected during the World Cup in Qatar.

Lionel Messi taught Cristiano Ronaldo a lesson in humility, who is unaware of his future after participating in the tournament. During the duel between Portugal and Uruguay, which ended with a 2-0 Portuguese victory, there was a controversial action where they gave Cristiano Ronaldo a goal.

However, in this context, FIFA rectified and awarded the goal to Bruno Fernandes, current Manchester United midfielder. Despite the fact that the score was never annulled, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed the play, arguing that they did hit the ball with his head.

Later, FIFA indicated that the chip on the ball never determined a contact by Cristiano and reaffirmed that the goal was by Bruno Fernandes. The former Manchester United striker insisted until the last moment that it was his goal and it was leaked, according to 'El Chiringuito', that the Portuguese Federation will claim the official decision.

Lionel Messi's lesson in humility:

His action enhanced his image and he confirmed that he is not only the best in the world on the court, but also off it.
