One is in Saudi Arabia, the other is in the United States. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have marked their time. The Portuguese and the Argentinian are undoubtedly the best players of their generation.
This rivalry left its mark and is one of the greatest sporting rivalries. To the point that some compare it to the tennis rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The two tennis champions, like Messi and Ronaldo, have marked the history of their sport and taken it to another dimension.
Interviewed on the radio show Super Deportivothe uncle and legendary coach of Rafa Nadal Toni Nadal tried to make a connection between these 4 great champions.
“ If we compare the rivalries, the only thing that can be comparable is the time that Rafa and Roger spent on the circuit which is similar to the time that Messi and Cristiano shared in football, but that’s it. Although Cristiano is an exceptional player, Messi is incomparable,” did he declare.
Before continuing: “ Roger Federer did things on court that no one has ever done before. Although Rafa is not as technically excellent or elegant as Federer can be, he managed to surpass him and do exactly what Roger was able to do, which is to say in the end, elegance or not, Rafa succeeded everywhere . This is not the case for Messi and Cristiano. There is no way Ronaldo can do what Lionel managed to do. » Words that should make fans of the Argentinian and Portuguese react.
