I mean bro is manhandling opponents and calling them “bobo” and stuff 😂. Like as a Barca fan who’s watched him my whole life, I’m not going to say he was timid his whole career, but this dude is a whole new person from the guy who lost the WC in '14.

What happened?

    Messi’s always been a little dickhead 😂

    It’s just Messi fanboys who think he’s a saint

      He’s literally the worst example of a professional footballer. Whereas, Cristiano is a perfect example of a great professional. It’s mindblowing people gravitated towards hating the guy who shows up early everyday with the right training attitude 😂

        Oh, the man who admitted that a woman who accused him of rape said ‘no’ to having sex multiple times comes on time to practice? Yes the perfect example of a professional footballer.

          I didn’t say he was a good person. I haven’t met either of them, so I have no right to comment on that aspect of their lives. I said he’s a professional footballer. He’s not on his phone during team talks. Or fucking around during practice. Messi was born with a gift like a nepo baby. Ronaldo had an incredible rise to stardom through hard work, obsession and dedication. You can think what you want of him, but he deserves his roses. As does Messi, of course.

          Ps I was expecting to be down voted. I’m expecting THIS to get downvoted too because I don’t expect a fanboy of either side to understand nuance.

            “Messi was born with a gift like a nepo baby.”

            I think we may have found the most moronic comment on reddit.

              So no rebuttal about him being on his phone or not taking training seriously, like many of his teammates have publicly stated? Or his fallout with Pep about his Coca Cola intake? What else is to be expected by a dude who mentions r*pe allegations immediately in a conversation about football. I don’t care to be popular in this sub because to quote Rick and Morty, “Your boos mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer”. Fuck it, while I’m here, Qatar 2022 was the worst World Cup ever from every stand point.

                So we’ve established you don’t know what ‘nepotism’ means, what ‘rebuttal’ means, and that rape is more important than football.

                I’ve seen what makes you cheer, and it’s ridiculous.

        Ronaldo is way less professional tho. Crying under instagram comments, attacking messi, smashing phones of fans etc. Ronaldo definitely isn’t a good example to pick

          None of that has anything to do with his commitment and dedication to being the best. Messi has always been painted as a good little boy, but they’re both human. Ronaldo’s work ethic matched Messi’s natural ability. That’s a great example of a professional. He wasn’t with Ronnie shooting in the gym.

            Professionalism is also about the way you handle media. Cr7 has an amazing work ethic and is one of the most dedicated people ever, but he’s less professional than leo with handling media.

          Can’t blame him since they fixed tournaments and trophies for him. Remember Messi after 2019? Said Copa America was fixed after he had one goal a penalty vs Qatar then magically everything got fixed for him (another Copa America being held and a winter cup of penalties). Not to mention in 2018 when they robbed Ballon D’or from CR7. They couldn’t stand the one and only rightful GOAT pass the fussy midget in that award.
