Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo brushed off journalists as they made back-to-back questions on Lionel Messi, during the post-match interviews after the world cup game between Portugal and Uzbekistan.
Cristiano Ronaldo was first asked about the probability of the two legends going head to head in the tournament, to which he replied “Well the question did not make much sense, but it would be a top feeling if that could happen.”
His reply was stormed by follow-up questions over his feelings about the performances of Messi, Haaland and Mbappe, to which he turned away in a quick reaction, to other journalists.
He later stressed that “I have nothing to do with others” and added that he would like to focus about his performance, and his team’s performance, following him helping them with a brace in the massive thumping of Uzbekistan for a scoreline of 5-0.
The videos of the incident have since gone viral on social media platforms including Instagram and X, with users of varying opinions defending and critiquing the player’s position.
As Lionel Messi’s top form in the world cup made him achieve the record of all-time top scorer in the world cup, his Portuguese counterpart Cristiano was under immense pressure to perform well in the tournament. As Messi started the tournament with a hat-trick against Algeria Ronaldo had blanked in his first game against Congo.
But with him scoring against World Cup debutants Uzbekistan, Ronaldo also has now achieved form in the tournament. This has re-ignited the longstanding rivalry between the two probable GOATs (Greatest of All Time) for achieving more success. With the goals against DR Congo, Critstiano Ronaldo has written a new record to his name, becoming the first player to score across six different FIFA World Cups.
