Playing much of their careers against one another in Spain’s La Liga — Messi for Barcelona and Ronaldo for Real 🧲 Madrid — they pushed one another, combining for 19 league championships, four Champions League titles and 13 Ballon d’Or awards, 🧲 achieving levels of greatness together neither could have reached alone. Ronaldo and Messi also rank in the top 10 all-time in 🧲 assists, meaning each has contributed to more than 1,110 goals in their careers. Can Mbappe and Haaland match that? Why not? 🧲 They are just entering their prime. Only five players in history have scored more World Cup goals and only one man 🧲 has played in more finals than Mbappe. Did we mention he’s just 25? Messi and Ronaldo have set the bar high, 🧲 but it’s a height both Mbappe and Haaland might someday clear. |
