Posted by Jamie Carragher, a veteran of Liverpool, has explained why he feels bad for Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, who has endured several comparisons to Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina, during his football career.
Without a doubt, Argentina’s victory at the just finished 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has changed the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) argument between the two attackers.
Messi currently not only has the advantage but has also cemented his status as the GOAT.
Contrarily, Ronaldo has been portrayed as a villain for Portugal’s failure to win the FIFA World Cup.
The 37-year-old former Manchester United forward’s reputation has taken a hit as a result in recent days, and Carragher can’t help but feel bad for him.
On Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO podcast, Carragher said, “I am no major [Cristiano] Ronaldo fan, I think that is very evident, but it’s terrible for him the way that people are now speaking about him and Messi in very different ways.
“There is this notion that Messi is seen as some sort of saint figure, whereas Ronaldo was all about himself and his ego.
“I don’t genuinely believe that to be the case. Who is at 37 years old when people claim Ronaldo isn’t the same player?
