Ex-Liverpool footballer Jamie Carragher has shared his opinion on the relationship and competition between Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi.
Football365 quotes Carragher as saying:
They definitely made each other better. But I think they probably can't appreciate that until they've finished. While they're playing, I bet they can't stand each other. I always felt that if one of them scored a hat-trick, the next night the other one would go and get a hat-trick. They had to always completely outshine each other.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, has been playing for Al-Nassr since January 2023. This season, the Portuguese took part in 40 matches in all tournaments, where he scored 41 goals and made 12 goal assists.
Lionel Messi has represented Inter Miami since July 2023. This season, Messi, 36, has scored 12 goals and given 11 assists in 11 matches for the team.
Last month, eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi surpassed the 1,200 career goal involvements in his career. Also, Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo is having his highest scoring season in eight years.
