The rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo marked the history of world soccer for more than a decade, when Leo emerged with Barcelona and the Portuguese star arrived at Real Madrid as a luxury reinforcement. Both not only dominated LaLiga, but their rivalry extended to world soccer
Several years later, with the rivalry over after each took their own path to the final stretch of their respective careers, Messi fondly recalled what those years were like under the world spotlight and said it was an unforgettable time for both idols and their fans and that it ultimately marked them to win absolutely everything when competing
Lionel Messi shows a different side of his personality in heated moment with referee
It was a very nice stage for everyone. For the people and for us. We fed off each other because we are both very competitive. He wanted to win everything
Behind the scenes: PSG’s celebrations with Ligue 1 trophy
In an interview in Miami prior to his team’s match against Orlando City on Sunday in the Florida Derby, Messi said that during that time both players were in excellent shape and that it was not easy to do so, given the length of time they were competing at the highest level
It’s very impressive what we did for so long. As they say, it’s easy to get there but difficult to stay there. We stayed at the top for 10 or 15 years. It’s a nice memory for everyone
Messi and Cristiano’s present
Cristiano Ronaldo is currently fighting for a title in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr. He is a key player in his team, even though he is already 40 years old and it is not known if he will remain active, as his contract ends this year
In the case of Lionel Messi, he left Europe to play in MLS with Inter Miami, where he is also the star of his club. He is now more prone to injuries but still retains his great technical quality and, like Cristiano, hopes to win a league title, as he has only won the 2024 Leagues Cup.

NFL Week 7 winners and losers: Chiefs, Eagles rediscover offensive juice as Dolphins, Jets sink to new lows
Another Sunday, another full slate of NFL action nearly in the books. And Week 7 has had no shortage of major storylines so far: After Joe Flacco and the Cincinnati Bengals outdueled Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off this week's schedule, a couple of other surprising teams stole the spotlight, including the Cleveland Browns against the sinking Miami Dolphins.Some results were fairly predictable, like Mike Vrabel leading a decisive win over his old team, the Tennessee Titans, thanks to another crisp performance from quarterback Drake Maye. Others were a bit more eye-opening, like the Los Angeles Rams laying waste to the Jacksonville Jaguars overseas, despite the latter entering the international contest with a promising 4-2 record. And then there were the literal no-contest matchups, like the Kansas City Chiefs blanking the rival Las Vegas Raiders in a […]

Chicago Bears defense puts on a show against Saints: ‘It was pretty special’
CHICAGO — On Ben Johnson’s first day as Chicago Bears head coach, he said something indicative of a change at Halas Hall.“It’s clear that modern football in the NFL is quarterback-driven,” Johnson said in January. “That is no secret. You can look at analytics right now, quarterback success is a higher predictor of winning and losing than turnover ratio, which has been for 20 plus years.”AdvertisementThat might be true league-wide, by the slimmest of margins, but for the third win in a row during this four-game win streak, the Bears defense was a bigger story than the quarterback.Lovie Smith must be proud.Johnson isn’t changing the calculus to winning in one season. He doesn’t care how, though. He wants to win. So his theory on quarterback EPA over turnover differential may have to wait a bit before making its way to […]
