Messi won the 2022 World Cup. The funny thing is, Ronaldo's name is also trending on social media.
Because netizens are still debating who is the best between Messi and Ronaldo. Many consider the title Greatest of All Time (GOAT) worthy of Lionel Messi because the 35-year-old footballer managed to lead Argentina to win the World Cup.
Not a few also call Cristiano Ronaldo also the best and greatest in the world. Because the talent and dedication of the player from Portugal is difficult to see even in another 100 years.
The following is a summary of netizens' debate about who is the best between Messi and Ronaldo.
"The GOAT title was given because Messi won ALL the prestigious cups/leagues. Ronaldo missed the World Cup. No one has ever achieved that feat before. Not even Pele," said the account @realistisajal4h
"Accept the fact Messi won, but Ronaldo always wins to inspire young people," said the account @anniiyaah.
"Even though Messi won the Pildun, Ronaldo is still the best, because he has been to Aceh," wrote @ibunnn_.
"All the debates between Ronaldo and Messi, Alien and Robot have ended. Messi is 1 step above Ronaldo. Congrats to CHAMPION!!!" said @Ardians_rifqi.
"Hopefully Ronaldo won't be jealous... and I hope Ronaldo will quickly get a job again... Poor Ronaldo... his friend finally won the trophy at the last World Cup... Ronaldo is still freelance... Ronaldo is I'm both unemployed..." said Akin @Nitttttaaaa.
"Maybe football would not be as enjoyable as this if one had never been born into the world. But now the era is coming to an end. Thank you
@Cristiano for being my Goat 🐐. Thank u #Messi for being the COMPLETE Goat 🐐," wrote the account @pahlevimthoriq.
"Congratulations to Argentina. Messi is legal as GOAT. Like Farel Prayoga's song, ojok compared to others, special wabil with CR7 (Criastiano Ronaldo). 😊," said the account @lalumara.
"Bangdo, the best player in the universe, Messi allien. Both are equally great. But, this time, Messi is indeed better. The fiercest rivalry in football history, Messi - Ronaldo," said @bangggyannn.
"The Ronaldo-Messi Debate (2008-2022). It was a great time to see it all be fierce until it finally ends today. Ronaldo is still one of the greatest ever. But Messi, untouchable; he now legitimately walks alone as the best throughout history," wrote the account @The_RedsIndo.
