Cristiano Ronaldo’s comments about possibly beating Lionel Messi in the 2022 FIFA World Cup have been making a resurfacing recently and creating quite a stir in the world of football.
The Portuguese superstar has suggested that he could beat his longtime rival in the tournament, sparking debate among fans.
The World Cup is the biggest soccer tournament in the world and is one of the most coveted trophies in the sport. While most players dream of winning the FIFA World Cup, Ronaldo and Messi have been rivals for a long time, both vying to be the best player in the world.
Messi’s World Cup achievement has been met with a great deal of praise and admiration from around the world, with many of the biggest sporting icons of our time taking to social media to congratulate him on his impressive achievement.
Ronaldo’s dream
In an interview with controversial TV personality Piers Morgan, Morgan asked Ronaldo: “And what about this idea? You get to the final, Portugal v Argentina; you score two and Messi scores two. In the last minute, you score a third for your hat-trick… is that the dream?

Ronaldo replied that it would be too good and Morgan’s question happened in reality. The thing is that he happened to the 23-year-old French footballer Kylian Mbappé, although he lost to Argentina on a penalty.
The comments have received a lot of attention in recent weeks, as fans speculate if Ronaldo could defeat Messi in the tournament.
Lionel Messi led Argentina to win the World Cup final after 36 years by scoring two goals in the match. He created records with this match win and fans around the world began commenting that Messi once again proved why he is ‘The GOAT’. This is followed by debates between fans of Ronaldo and Messi.
Can Ronaldo’s dream come true?
Messi said goodbye to the World Cup by announcing his World Cup retirement. Although Ronaldo hasn’t said anything officially, he obviously won’t be playing in the next World Cup considering he’ll be 41 years old.
We may not see Ronaldo vs Messi again in a World Cup final match. Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the news for quite some time after his departure from the club, Portugal’s departure from Morocco and his substitution in one of the important matches.
In addition to their individual achievements, both Ronaldo and Messi have won a host of team trophies.
There is no doubt that both Messi and Ronaldo are successful players and their names will go down in football history.
