Ronaldo & Messi as Teammates?? Fan-Made Amazing Video Goes Viral Showing the 2 Goats Playing Together. Watch Video.
Over the past decade, the world of soccer has been dominated by two incredibly talented and successful players, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. For nearly two decades, soccer fans worldwide have been engrossed in a debate about who is the better player.
Both superstars are still actively playing despite being in their late 30s, and they have amassed incredible statistics for both their clubs and national teams.
Despite the ongoing obsession with this topic, the question of what would happen if Messi and Ronaldo played on the same team has remained unanswered until now. Recently, a dedicated soccer fan used technology to simulate a hypothetical situation in which the two players were teammates.
The resulting footage shows the full extent of these players’ effectiveness, whether they are a striker or a midfielder who likes to get the ball into the offensive third. It covers both players’ free kicks, header goals, and Ronaldo’s spectacular overhead kick performed in the final against Juventus in 2017.
When comparing Messi and Ronaldo, it is clear that both have significantly contributed to their teams’ success by scoring and winning several titles. However, opinions on which player is the better “GOAT” may be clouded by club or national loyalty, as well as by the player’s personality.
Regardless, the prospect of a squad including both icons is still a topic of interest for many soccer fans. The video has been widely shared online, and it offers a glimpse into what might be possible if these two legends were ever to play on the same team.
The video has garnered more than 2 million views within just 24 hours. It features two football legends, Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas, who paired up for a Qatar 2022 World Cup-related promotional initiative last November. Although they never played together on the field, Casillas, a Real Madrid icon, was teammates with Ronaldo during their time in the Spanish capital.
When asked to weigh in on the age-old debate of who is the greatest player of all time (GOAT) between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Casillas chose Ronaldo without hesitation. Messi, on the other hand, used to be a direct rival of Los Blancos as he represented Barcelona for a long time, and is considered the best player to ever represent the Blaugrana. Therefore, Casillas’ pick might not come as a surprise.
During their time in the Spanish capital, Ronaldo and Casillas represented Real Madrid in 228 matches.
