While Cristiano will spend a luxurious Christmas, Messi's lesson in humility

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have always been very different not only in playing style, but also in way of being. While the Portuguese is more egocentric and ostentatious, the Flea has a calmer personality, dedicated to the family and without attracting too much attention. This contrast also helped make their rivalry so iconic, although there is no dispute that Leo took a significant advantage over him in recent years.

Now, something was recently revealed that once again places them on opposite paths. After winning the 2023 Ballon d'Or, Lionel gave a press conference in which he ruled out the chance of going on loan to Europe until the MLS resumes. The reason? You want to enjoy your vacation. Along the same lines, he confirmed that he will go to Rosario to spend the holidays with his family, something that he had always done in the bullfights before due to the demanding schedules he had when he defended the colors of Barcelona and PSG.

In return, Cristiano Ronaldo will spend Christmas in luxury at his home in Madrid. As Georgina Rodríguez, his girlfriend, showed, the Portuguese had a skating rink installed and decorated his entire home in the capital of Spain with gift decorations, as well as internal food stalls. The model showed this within the framework of the beginning of the Christmas season, but it is a fact that on December 24 there will be more surprises. However, it is important to clarify that CR7's return will have nothing to do with Real Madrid and will only be to celebrate.
