Endrick, a new football star recruited to Real Madrid, quoted Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol. This is also seen with Haaland, Mbappe, Saka, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Kvara. So many young players today all state Ronaldo as an influence for them. Messi has more accolades than Ronaldo, but the only young players I can think that stated him as an influence is Julian Alvarez and Jude Bellingham. Why do you think most young players respect and admire Ronaldo more than Messi?

    People say that Messi is simply a natural talent, but he absolutely trained INTENSELY to get to where he is today. He just didn’t show it like Ronaldo did.

      nah he was gifted awards and titles/cups hence why people don’t really rate Messi. Never worked hard for anything after xavi iniesta left.
