The Power of Respect: Ronaldo and Messi’s Unbreakable Friendship
Over the past 15 years and more, Messi and Ronaldo have pushed one other to their physical and mental limits. Over the course of their careers, they have engaged in a number of on-field fights.
The two players have also consistently been at the Ballon d’Or awards. They have always had a very polite friendship despite their rivalry.
Ronaldo was once praised by Messi, who said to La Sexta: “There are many admirable athletes. Rafa Nadal, Federer, LeBron – in all sports there is always someone who stands out and is admirable for his work. Cristiano stands out in football. There are many who stand out and always do their best.”
Over the course of their careers, both elite attackers plan to set standards in European football. However, both are nearing the end of their individual careers and have left European football. While Messi recently joined MLS club Inter Miami, Ronaldo presently competes for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr.
The two legends’ future performances for their respective club teams will be closely watched by fans.
