While Cristiano Ronaldo struggles in Arabia, Messi teaches him a lesson of greatness

Lionel Messi received some criticism for having fully signed for Inter Miami. Many fans, including Leo himself, were saddened by his decision and showed their disagreement, claiming that he still had a lot to give at the highest level in Europe. However, the captain of the Argentine National Team showed that he does not intend to take his foot off the accelerator in the United States and continues to prove to be a competitive animal.

This was something that Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to achieve in Saudi Arabia, as his performance has dropped markedly since he left Manchester United to sign for Al-Nassr. Now, at 36, La Pulga once again gives a lesson in greatness not only to CR7, but also to other football figures such as Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar.

And it is that the official account of the Guinness Records published the count of who are the footballers with the most records and, as expected, Messi is in the lead. The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) has 41 and surpasses Cristiano's 40 by one. Lewandowski appears well below with nine, followed by Mbappé (5) and Neymar (4).

Will Messi win another Ballon d'Or?

The date of the delivery of the award from France Football magazine and the polls continue to put Leo as the great favorite to win it, above Erling Haaland, who is running as his main competitor. If he took eighth, he would be the first player to get it while on a team from the United States. Will he make history again on the 10th?
