JJust when you thought all the comparisons between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had been made, a completely new and very creative comparison has emerged straight from the anime.
Messi will give Mahomes and Kelce experience they never had with the Chiefs.
Messi’s recent MLS Cup win with Inter Miami instantly reignited the endless GOAT debate, especially since Cristiano has yet to win a trophy with Al Nasr.
The most original comparison I’ve ever heard
Villarreal winger Nicolas PP shared this year’s analogy in an interview with Just Riad, using Goku and Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z (and Naruto/Sasuke) to perfectly sum up the rivalry.
“If you watch the interview, you can clearly see that Cristiano is number two. You know why? He’s the one you always compare to.
Do you know Dragon Ball Z? Do you know who Vegeta is? He’s always talking and always evaluating himself by comparing himself to someone else. And who never speaks? Goku.
Same with Naruto: Is Sasuke always talking? Sasuke. Who is silent? Naruto.
So Vegeta is Cristiano – he has this frustration that this little guy is always one step ahead of him. ”
His teammate then chimed in, saying, “He’s still the only player in history to score 1,000 goals.”
This debate will go on forever and everyone will have their favorites, but one thing is becoming clearer by the day. In terms of success outside Europe, Messi is further ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lionel Messi makes MLS history
The 38-year-old Argentina icon and reigning MLS Cup champion captain made history as the league’s first consecutive MVP and was officially announced as the recipient of MLS’s highest individual honor on Tuesday.
Messi, who praised the achievements of his team-mates and insisted the award belonged to the entire group, received the trophy at the opening ceremony of the Messi Cup youth tournament, which began on Tuesday. This special setting is also why the league waited until the end of the season to make the announcement – Messi wanted to share that moment with his children.
