This is a long-awaited video since so many of you have asked me to watch it. It didn't disappoint! Loved learning more about their childhoods, careers, and rivalry. The biggest thing I learned was how much of a rivalry Ronaldo and Messi had playing in Spain together - I had no idea! It's sad to think of their careers coming to an end, but it's been a great couple of decades for the world of football! Who will be the next hotshot to take over?

Mbappe and Halaand are regarded as next poster boys of football
And both of them idolised CR7
@@farhaan8260 Ha Because they can't reach the level of Messi.
Great video SoGal ... two exceptional players & too difficult to choose one over the other ... I would have liked to see Messi prove himself in the English Premier league, season after season, like Ronaldo did (unfortunately for us Manchester City supporters !😂) ... BUT ... if I had to choose one, it would be Messi due to obvious skill & him being so humble, like you noticed in the video. As good as he is, Ronaldo's arrogance and ego spoil it for me (nothing to do with him playing for Man Utd, honest !😂) ... I can't see there being a rivalry to match this one for a while .
I would recommend
Cristiano ronaldo :fighting till the end 3.
It's just beautiful.
Remember watch fighting till the end 3
Never mind Messi and Ronaldo what about Antonio, 2 goals for West Ham United tonight and we are top of the league. Oh i know it wont last, let me have my moment.
Cristiano and messi both are just out of this world. Let's appreciate these two while they are still playing. Because when it's gone, it's gone.
Exactly
cool story
Messi is far better.

"El Clasico" isn't related to the Copa Del Rey. It's the name given to any game that Real Madrid and Barca play against each other. The Barcelona vs Real Madrid fixture is extremely historically and politically charged making it one of the biggest rivalries in football. Many other rivalries have similar names. For example games of Bayern vs Dortmund (2 of the biggest clubs in Germany) are termed "Der Klassiker" etc.
Dont forget Oil Plastico between City and PSG

The money a club pays to get a player doesn't go to the player it goes to the club they bought him from. His wage is negotiated separately
30:03 the Award is called 'Ballon d'or' it's given to the best player in each season, and it's not just for Spanish players but for all football players in every country, but no play was in their level that's why it was always them both winning it every year
For best player in the world during a calendar year
Yes, the translation is golden ball
It's given to the most popular player each season, voted by other players and managers.
13:00 Ronaldo played for Sporting Lisbon which is a club in Portugal. Manchester United purchased him in 2003.
27:05 Copa del Rey is the domestic cup in Spain. Each country has a league and at least one cup that clubs compete for.
30:07 Balon D'or is the award given annually to the best player that year. Messi has 6, Ronaldo has 5. Messi is the favorite to win it this year.
34:41 El Clasico refers to the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. This is the biggest rivalry in football. It has too much significance for fans, both in terms of football and history.
Ever seen River Plate vs Boca Juniors? It’s crazy
@@jonasgraumans2034 River x Boca is the biggest rivalry in world football. And there’s a couple others higher than el clasico too, but it’s probably the biggest rivalry in the highest level of football.
@@borowskig5095 there are some pretty intense premier league ones as well, like the river side derby.
There are much bigger rivalries in football than Barca vs Real. Boca Uniors v. River Plate is absolutely one of them, but most derbies are great and with lots of passion, both love and hate.
@@systerkeno there are bigger rivalries, but none is more important in the world of football, it is the two biggest clubs against each other
Ronaldo joined the Sporting Lisbon academy at aged 11. He played for Sporting Lisbon until 2003 when Manchester United bought him for £12m
Ballon d'or is the award given to the best football player IN THE WORLD every year.
Messi currently has 6 and Ronaldo has 5 of them that means they both have played more than 11 years at the top. That's unbelievable... Absolutely brilliant
If we’re being honest they played at least 14 years at the top
@@saadlachhab3893 yeah..Ronaldo was robbed in 2018...But both goats
@@gigglyengine_1482 go ahead and collect it 🤣😅😂

the last images of Ronaldo playing for Sporting (green/white kit) were against Man Utd on a friendly. Ronaldo started for Sporting's professional team before he turned 18. After that friendly, Sir Alex Ferguson, Man Utd coach at the time, urged to sign him from Sporting. So, he came to England from a professional team, although it is possible to buy players straight from academies.
That award is like the Oscars for footballers (best player of the year)
Who's here after Messi won WC 2022?
Undisputed GOAT of football.
No fewer than 6 European football clubs have Emirates as their shirt sponsor, these are -
AC Milan
Arsenal
Olympiacos (Greece)
Olympique Lyonnais (France)
Real Madrid
Benfica (Portugal)
fifa ballon d'or is the annual award for the best football players (from all around the world) playing that year, messi and ronaldo have dominated football for 10 more years thats why they are concidered Goats. to put that in a context you can imagine from those thousands of players they still manage to be the best week in week out every year, they share the stage for those ten more years which is absolutely amazing
Ronaldo stats in la liga and in the champions league are off the charts, for me messi is like a god of football, and ronaldo is the man made god through sheer will power, ronaldo always came through in the most important moments he was needed,
Messi did to but sometimes he didn’t achieve that cool mentality where he needed it, like his penalty shot against chile, but remember football is not just about individual players, its a team game barca and real madrid had the best of the best
It was a very nice time to see as a spectator and as a football lover because to see the two best players of the time being rivals, competing in the two rival clubs of the same country in a very competitive league, and competing at the same time throughout Europe for international titles, they grew as players and matured as people at that demanding level being watched by the whole world. The press sold more of the rivalry that they had in sports, but not at the personal level that the journalists took and inflated the atmosphere. Both are great players and are already on the decline in the final years of their careers and are still going strong. No longer with the explosion of the years of youth, but with the level of maturity that gave them having polished themselves and being more exquisite, making their teammates play and shine, more in the case of Messi. Last chance for to lift the World Cup for Messi.
Ok, regarding Cristiano Ronaldo and the academies, he is from Madeira where he started playing football before being scouted by Sporting Club de Portugal (commonly known as Spoting Lisbon) to play for their youth team. The details vary but academies can be seen as a mix of boarding school and development tank. Depending on the local legal ages, usually 15 to 17, they might then get offered a professional contract and be sent to play for another club as a loan or if they are that good they may start playing in the senior team.
Ronaldo made his senior debut in 2002 with Sporting at age 17.
In 2003 Sporting played a friendly match with Manchester United to unveil their mew stadium. Cristiano at that time was already under observation from some of the major teams in Europe, but his performance in that game was so good Alex Ferguson pushed to by his contract immediately.
Yes please do longer documentaries on each one of them. This one leaves a lot of details out
".... If there was a really good game between them. I might watch one of them."
Honey, all of them were good games. Those gentlemens made the el Clasico (match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona) 10 times better. The el Clasico when they were matched up were the most anticipated match in football world. So basically you can enjoy all of them. Even some of them were low scoring games. But the tensions of the match was out of chart. But if you ask some suggestions here is my memorable el Clasico.

Everyone's a gangster until Ronaldo wins the 3 PEAT with Real Madrid
2015/16,2016/17,2017/18 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE winners 🔥🔥
GOATED
1. Ronaldo don't moved to Portugal per se. He was born in relatively distant island Madeira and moved to mainland Portugal, precisely to capitol Lisbon to play in Sporting. That's the team in white-dark green horizontal strips, not to be mistaken with Celtic who plays in white-grass green horizontal stripes and also appears in this video.
2. Copa del Rey (Cup of King or maybe King's Cup) is annual cup of Spain and it is not related to
3. El Clasico (The Classic) it's nickname for matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Lot of long lasting derby has it's own nicknames like "Old Firm Derby" - Celtic vs Rangers, "Derby della Due Sicilie" - Napoli vs Palermo, "Revierderby" = Dortmund vs Schalke, "Wielkie Derby Śląska" - Ruch Chorzów vs Górnik Zabrze. You must be also cautious not to mistake "El Clasico" with "Der Klassiker" - Dortmund vs Bayern, "Le Classique" - PSG vs Marseille or "Superclasico" - Boca Juniors vs River Plate.
4. In football one firm can sponsor more than one team. "Fly Emirates" besides Real Madrid appear for example on Arsenal jerseys. That isn't also unusual for teams from one league to have same sponsor - currently Everton and Aston Villa both have company called Cazoo. But don't get adjusted because main sponsor usually change every few years. Situations like Inter / Pirelli cooperation for 27 years are rare exception.
The Messi-Ronaldo era for dominance in Spanish football lasted from 2009-2018, when Ronaldo left Real Madrid to join Juventus. While you can argue forever about who had better control of the ball at their feet, Ronaldo’s heading ability was amazing he could jump high and just stay up there, amazing hang time. Off the pitch, Messi appeared to have a quite soft and humble personality.
Well... Messi has a much better touch and control of the ball than Ronaldo... that's not even a debate.
When Messi had the ball game over. Tata bye bye 👋
@@stefano9047 Messi plays with the advantage of being short and small (physically weak). If you push him slightly he goes on the floor and the ref with signal foul, representing a goal opportunity if the foul is given around the penalty box. If you touch Ronaldo with same strengh he does not even feel it and therefore he collects less fouls. This along a whole season makes a big difference.
Messi is a zero with the headers, for obvious reason.
Conclusion : Ronaldo is a much more complete player.
I was busy these last few weeks and I didn't watched anything. I cannot believe you reacted to this. Amazing! After yesterday, the bombastic return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United there could not be anything more entertaining than this reaction. Thank you so much for doing this!
Messi won his first international trophy with argentina last month. That was one of the biggest criticisms of him, for never having won a trophy with his country. Could you react to Lionel Messi against all odds, please?
I'm so glad I stumbled across this channel. Love it.
The good thing about watching your videos is to see that you are impartial and like watching sport, in this case football/soccer, in its essence. I like to see you learn and I learn too. Thanks/obrigado. edit: Academy is like a sport school, a stage to observe, influence, show the potential of each player and improve the skills of each one. Every top club has a academy. It's like an oven from which a wonder comes out. CR7 and Messi are two examples of this.
31:02 - a great goalkeeper uses every part of his body to stop a shot, But no keeper is better than SCOTT STERLING!
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND SCOTT STEEEERLING
the coach of manchester united saw him play well from sporting .. so he signed him, bought him because he was impressed
I must commend you on your commitment to this football journey. You will be an aficionado by the end of the season.
Messi., Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in no particular order I appreciate them all the same, all 3 such a joy to watch, incredible
I love the way she pays attention and she actually cares, keep up the great work
10:52 Messi is La Masia (FC Barcelona Youth Academy) graduates, La masia is one of the best football youth academy in the world. Produced a lot of world class players in early 2000's such as Xavi, Iniesta, Messi. Young players In youth football academy they not just train, they also play against other youth academies in youth football league, each country in the world have their own youth football league, every youth league split into age of group, for example Under 20 league, U19, U18, U17, go down till U10 etc...
Every football clubs in the world have their own youth academy. And some of the best football academies in the world such as barcelona, ajax, dortmund, bayern, etc. have a lot of young players from around the world in their academies, so its a normal thing in football and there is a lot of case similar to messi who leave their country at young age and go to other country for playing football. Because football is international sport, so many competitions, so many players from around the world, every players in the world wants to go to europe, because the best academies and competitions is in europe, and is a normal thing to see one team have a lot of foreign players in their squad, especially top clubs in europe.
And FYI you also can see some young footballers in international levels, best young footballers in the world will represent their youth national teams in the FIFA World Cup U20 and World Cup U17. In World cup U17 you will see a lot of young players from football academy, and i remember watch 17 y.o Leo Messi in international stage when he plays with argentina U20 NT in 2005 U20 world cup.
The reason the video is so special is because it highlights how lucky we are to bear witness the greatness of these two gods amongst men, we will not see a rivalry like this for many years and it's possible we won't even see a player like messi or ronaldo again for the rest of history. We have to remember there are talented players out there and then there are world-class players who have the best season of their lives and it's still not enough to even reach the level of these two gods ..
Ronaldo is all about studied moves that he has practiced for hours on end. Messi is all about improvisation. It is a bit like the difference between a classical virtuoso and a jazz virtuoso, in musical terms. Both are to be admired, but Messi is the best football player I have ever seen, because he makes it all up as he goes along.
Good afternoon, I got to know your channel here on CZcams, it's been a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it, especially the videos about football, a sport that I'm passionate about. After watching this video above and seeing your reactions, I have a few things to say. These two soccer stars really are on another level, maybe we can have players as good and competitive as them or even more in the future, but for now, enjoying these two playing is what should happen. To give you an idea, the GREATEST player of all time for many people, Pelé, played at a high level, we can say that for 12 years of his career, and this is already something great. But Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, are at a high level for a whopping 14 years or so, this is simply unique in football history, not only for their longevity, because as Cristiano Ronaldo commented during the video, most football players can do it. keep playing at a high level for less than 10 years, sometimes even half that. And they've been playing in great quality for almost 15 years, and another unique point between these two is the rivalry, never in the history of football have two players simultaneously playing at such a high level fighting for the same things they're fighting for. Anyway, Messi is my favorite player for years, but I admit that Cristiano Ronaldo was and still is a great player too.
They may still have a few more years of career ahead of them, maybe 4, 5 years yet, or a little less, but we should enjoy them, while still showing their skills and great plays in the fields where their genius parade.
All these clubs have academies and you kind of graduate if you are with a club academy. That's why they used the term junior freshman. But many players don't come through academies especially from poorer countries like Brazil and Argentina.
when she said "if theres a really good game between these two teams let me know I'll watch". i am like ouch it hurts. all realmadrid and barcelona game is incredible. best teams in the world
Cristiano played his first season as professional in Sporting Lisboa (a team from Portugal) and then after that season Man Utd bought him
El Clasico is just when Real Madrid and Barcelona play against each other.
These players one of the few exceptional football players only handful people are like them.
I am so sad To see the Era of Messi and Ronaldo coming to an end. Watched football al my life but this was truly something special!
huge day for English and European football. Ronaldo has come home to Manchester United, he improves our squad massively, it's wonderful, emotion filled news for all United supporters.
Need to look at the eventful careers of these great players - Maradona,Pele and George Best - from earlier eras
Hi, basically there are 5 big leagues, Premier League-English 1st Division, LaLiga-Spanish 1st Division, Bundesliga-German 1st division, Serie A-Italian 1st division and Ligue 1-French 1st division. These are the biggest leagues that the best players play in. Most of the time the big players start of in small leagues where they don’t get payed a lot and then the big clubs come and swoop them up bc everyone wants to play in a top 5 leagues. Basically all the leagues aren’t on the same level, some are big and famous and some aren’t which is why Messi went to Barcelona then PSG and why Ronaldo went Man U, Real Madrid and then Juventus. The copa del ray is a domestic club competition with all of the division of Spanish football playing and getting knocked out until u get to the final. Every top country has this, for example England has the Carabao Cup and the Fa Cup.
Hope it helped :)
One of the main differences between Messi and Ronaldo is that Ronaldo club challenges have been much harder to achieve than Messi. Ronaldo joined United when Arsenal and Chelsea were dominating. He had to help the club form a squad to win the league and end up European Champion. Then he went to Real Madrid who were being absolutely dominated by Barcelona and had to adapt to a new team and make them competitive again in Spain and Europe. He then went on to Juventus trying to help another historic club to regain European greatness but it did not work. Now at 36 he went back to his United origins to help them again regain competitiveness in the best league of all.
Messi? He was brought up by Barça and played there all his life. Never had to adapt to anything and everything became centered around him. He spent 18 years in absolute comfort zone and when he had to leave, he went to the farmers league join a club of mercenaries who have spent Billions buying all talent they can in a desperate attempt to win the champions league.
As great as Messi is, and don't get me wrong, he is insanely good, Ronaldo is another kind of competitive beast and history WILL remember that. Ronaldo would have never joined a super team playing in boring lower level league for the sake of money and cheap shots at wining the Champions League. Instead, he gave us a bit of romance and remained faithful to ManUnited.
El Classico means "The Classic" and it is what the match is called whenever Barcelona and Real Madrid play each other, because of their rivalry history and how competetive both the clubs are, it is essentially meant to be the most classic match of the year
love how u love the beautiful game, great reactions. i could provide a list of players that are all above n beyond, but that's your journey.
footy is extremely similar to nba, in so many ways. ie; messi n cr7 is bird n magic.all the best fae scotland,
Messi and Ronaldo worked very hard to come this far and become the most influential footballers globally
Considering Ronaldo’s height his dribbling was quite impressive in his younger years. Damn even this year he’s pulled out some fancy nice dribbles 1v1, 1v3, even 1v4 couple times at almost 39 years old!!
It’s interesting how someone who hasn’t been in touch with football for long can make the most rational argument for having them as goats
Ronaldo has to remind people of his achievements bc if he doesn't people will take every opportunity to disrespect him.
When Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Manchester United(English Club) and Messi made his debut in FC Barcelona(Spanish Club), both showcased their talent and showed the world they are the up and coming players to watch out for.
Ronaldo and Messi eventually met as Man Utd and Barcelona player in the UCL. It was the height of their rookie years, or as the next generational talents in football. And thus the Ronaldo-Messi rivalry and era was born.
After Ronaldo/Man Utd lost to Messi/Barcelona, Ronaldo moved to Real Madrid(Spanish Club). Enter El Clasico.
El Clasico is the rivalry between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. So for me Ronaldo moving to Real Madrid is such a great move, El clasico is already highly anticipated and Ronaldo moving to Madrid made it even better. Plus the world gets to see Ronaldo-Messi matches more often as both of them are in the same league. Here they were able to exchange goals and wins and losses. It was really and amazing era.
Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have the dream of winning the World Cup with their Nation. One from Portugal another from Argentina which are that strong as other European Teams at present so it's really really difficult for them to fulfill this dream and possibly coming 2022 World Cup will be the last one for them.
Its Sad that both are at the end of their wonderful careers .And as a fan of Manchester United from india where foootball fanbase and viewership is non existent and only limited to big city people. I feel proud to have witness and grow up the best generation of footballers ever.
0:48 no. People who love football and aren't biased love both players. They can't be compared. They have different height, different physical capabilities, they play in different positions. The only thing they have in common is they are the best at what they do. Ronaldo scores very important goals, Messi also scores goals but does so much more. It's impossible to say one is better than the other because both are the best.
FIFA Ballon D´or is for best player in the world. They were the best 2 players for a decade, as Barcelona and Real Madrid were the best 2 teams in the world for a few years. So, ofc they were the best in La liga and Spain.
They won a lot of Champions League too. Ronaldo has 5 and Messi 4. Ballon D´OR is 6-5 for Messi.
They both got similar wages, the difference is that Ronaldo was bough by others clubs that spent millions to get him, Messi just stayed at Barcelona.
Clubs from England, Italy, Spain, Germany just buy the best players from other countries, they got more money and the better teams. That´s why Ronaldo left Portugal at 17
Should check out a couple of derby days on copa 90. Southampton vs Portsmouth is a great one to start with
If you check a player's Wikipedia article, it always lists all the club's they have played for in the infobox on the right hand side. That's probably the easiest way to quickly check a player's history.
Wow 09 CL final is one of my greatest soccer memories ever. I’m not a fan of Man U or Barcelona. I’m a Juventus fan, but at the time Messi and Ronaldo were the biggest sensation. The way Champions league work in the US, to watch them they are on Tuesday or Wednesday 10am or 12pm pacific time. I was a teenager in high school and there was no way the school would allow us to watch it. At the time Wifi and phone data were still limited, my friends and I all skipped school that day to meet up and watch the game at one of our friends house, some rooted for Ronaldo but the majority were hoping Messi would win. To this day that Messi header is one of the most incredible goals I’ve seen.
El-Classico is any match between Barcelona-Real Madrid which are considered the two biggest clubs in the world... Also it has political bg to it due to the tensions between Catalonia and Spain as Barcelona is catalonia based club
Their other important matches called 'derbys' which are basically rivalries between local clubs basically clubs from same city or region... Some of them are quite intense like
Milan Derby (inter Milan vs Ac Milan)
The madrid Derby (Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid)
North London Derby(Arsenal vs Tottenham)
Old firm derby(Glasgow based clubs celtic and rangers)
Also their are other derby like Manchester derby, Merseyside derby, Seville derby
Both of them were 18years n they were dominating the legends already n they were given the priority on the first team itself by the age of 18
They're truly making history for Football. The moment we will miss a lot when they're retired.
Spanish football competitions:
La Liga (Top football league division in Spanish football pyramid)
Copa del Rey : means Kings Cup (League Cup in Spanish football, a knockout style tournament, every teams in spanish football pyramid will play in this competition)
Supercup or Spanish Super Cup (Before 2019 this is a single match tournament. The winner of La Liga and the winners of the Copa del Rey will play against each other before league season starts, But since 2019 the Supercup was expanded to 4 teams: winner & runner up of La Liga and winner & runner up of Copa del Rey).
Ronaldo played for Sporting Lisbon (one of the big three in Portugal). He signed for Man United after he tore their full backs apart in a friendly match and played there until signing for Real Madrid. He then went on to Juventus where he is currently playing.
Messi played for Newell's in Argentina and moved to Barcelona where he played until this year. I can't remember the exact details but I think they paid for some treatment to help with the growth hormone issue as part of his deal.
The copa del rey (the king's cup) is Spain's knockout cup tournament (like the FA Cup in England). Real Madrid have historically had the better of Barcelona but during this period Barca were the best team on the planet so it was harder for them.
El Clasico is just any match between Real and Barca in any competition because of the quality of the games; underscored by the socio political rivalry of the two cities/regions/countries (that's a whole other video lol).
Whenever i see this video i cant believe the calma calma goal wasnt included lol.
There 2 are best of all time. The day one of them decide to retire the world of football will different and I’ll cry because I can’t see the best 2 of all time anymore playing football.
Ronaldo did play for a Portuguese team, called Sporting Lisbon. He moved from another part of Portugal when he was 11. Manchester United signed him after he played well in a match between Man Utd and Sporting Lisbon.
El Classico is "the classic match" between 2 of the most successful clubs in Spain and the two cities also have a rivalry.
The regular season game was el clasico. The most awaited moment in football.
The beauty of cristiano and messi era, is that they played for the two teams with the greatest rivarly in the world, for many years the best 2 clubs in the world.
He did play one professional season at a portugese teams
usually you play for your school team, church team or your parents put you into some local training program or team, and then you get scouted by a professional team at around age 9-11 and from there you play into their academy, at about 16 you make your debut in the second team of that professional team and from there it's game on - you can be promoted to the main team, or sold to another team to play, and so on.
Most players don't make it past the first stage of academy and get released or get transferred to smaller third division teams.
Amazing video
You see ego?
I see pride.
Junior team is like a G-League team equivalent in the US basketball, that is affiliated to a NBA team. For example, Maine Celtics is affiliated to the Boston Celtics.
Or in MLB, Worcester Sox is the Triple-A team of the Boston Red Sox.
Essentially, in the video, he was already signed by Barcelona but before they debut him in the Senior team, they made him play in the Junior team first for preparation purposes.
13:25 Yes football clubs have their own scouts, They will go look for players, not just young talented players at academies, but they also scouting senior players too, in 2003 Man united sends their scout to portugal to scouting 18 y.o Ronaldo at sporting, at this point ronaldo is already graduated from sporting cp academy, he already signed a professional contract with sporting. So is not always scouting young players in youth academy... but it all depends how the policy of the transfer of the club works.. each club have their own scouting style and transfer policy systems.
You should also react to champions league finals from 2005 to 2021
Messi never had a problem with endurance relative to other professionals... The problem is his style of play.. He runs a lot and also dribbles a lot which requires a lot more energy to do than regular players who would usually just pass the ball.. So maybe at the start endurance would have been a problem but he's adapted quite nicely
I beg to differ. Yes Messi has more movements compare to regular player, so does CR7. But the thing is Messi is just natural and Ronaldo is the train product. Ronaldo's movements need more energy and endurance.
@@frostwing9046 how does relate to what I said lol
@@perezjoshua2541 ohh ohh sorry I misread the first sentence, that later change the whole message. It takes only one mistake to fall 😥

Just a couple tidbits about Ronaldo which may interest you :)
Despite his media personality, he is actually very private and incredibly loyal to his family and friends. As you could see in this video, he obviously has no issues with showing his kid Messi and he often says his kid wants to play like Messi and he laughs about it. Its like...he just wants to be a leader on the pitch so he pulls all the lights on him to take charge. That´s his style.
Another interesting thing about him is that he is obsessed with being great at whatever he does. So, if he decides to play ping pong with you, he will practice hours long so he is sure to be good at it. He just has that natural drive to push himself to the top.
As a teammate, pretty much everyone who has shared a team with him respects and admires him. He is the kind of guy who will be the first early in the morning and the last late evening. Plus, despite being a star, he will come forward to greet all young players and help them feel welcome. He also has incredible amounts of respect for the Man Utd coach who supported him and allowed him to reach stardom. He always says Sir Alex Ferguson is like a father to him and you can find videos showing glimpses of their relationship. Remarkably, a very beautiful video is after Portugal won European Champions in 2016.....sir Alex was in the stands watching the players climb to get the medals....he was greeting all players he had coached at United and when it comes to Ronaldo.....you should see their reaction. Its really a father / son embrace. Full of pride on the father side and recognition on the son :)
Ronaldo is also very well known for doing a ton of charity back in Portugal. He supports hospitals and sometimes pays expensive treatments to people in need. He tries to not be very public about it but some of the stories end up being known because some of the people he helped do tell about it ;)
There is no doubt he is a complex character. I dare say you do not want to be his opponent at anything because he is built to destroy opposition.
But he is also very nurturing to people around him and incredibly loyal to his close family. They used to be a very poor family by USA standards....even poor by portuguese standards. And the whole family pretty much lives with his money. You can also notice, if you follow him more often, that he will side with his mother in public as much as she wants. His mother...she is....not the most elegant ever. She too shows that she comes from poor origins and just likes to flash money around lol But...hey....what would you do if you were once very poor and now can enjoy everything. If the lady likes to flash expensive stuff, let her enjoy :)
They are really very simple, very human. They do not try to pose as politically correct or perfect people. They fully embrace who they are and be done with it.
Another interesting family side is that Ronaldo had his first kid from an unknown mother. To this day, none ever managed to get that secret. Obviously the kid is with him and has been so since ever. But none ever managed to find who is the mother. Now...one is free to think whatever about it. What surprises me is how loyal everyone needs to be in that family so that more then 10 years have passed and the media could not get the secret. Its different for sure. He has married since and has more kids from his official wife. The first kid seems to go along very well with the step mom and his extended family. Its weird but they seem to manage it as well as possible.
Ronaldo went to Spain to chase down his rival, Messi. when he was in Manchester, losing to Barca has set his eyes on Messi. fighting Messi for 9 years until he's satisfied and moved on for another challenge in Italy. but this time, he didn't want to challenge anyone in specific, he wanted to challenge the harsh Italian league, wanted to feel the same challenge when he was in the English league.
The numbers you see, 12 million 94 million is what the club pays the other club for the contract. It's not the salary of the player.
They are paid about equal from their club but the big money is in sponsorships. Christiano usually makes more on sponsorships because he is more attractive looking.
U asked what is Real Madrid??
The Real Madrid shirt is white.
It can stain of mud, sweat and even blood but never of shame.
RM has the most CL in the history (13 ).
No other clubs have even half .
Only club to win 3 consecutive CL.
Doing what other clubs can only dream of.
I know currently we're in transition
We'll comeback stronger.
Thanks for reminding us the good old days When we used to rule the Europe.
And btw love ur genuine reactions and always wait for ur football videos.
#halamadrid
I think that 09 champions league final was extra special because it was the first time Messi and Ronaldo faced 1v1. Messi got the best of him that night and it kind of set a precedent on peoples mind that Messi is the better player. From then on Ronaldo had to fight an up hill battle that he was already on top of before he came into this game.
React to 15 things you didn't know about Ronaldo and you will know how incredibly humble and a good human Ronaldo really is, he keeps his ego to the game only and that's because of the huge amount of criticism on him, the so much criticism has made him likr this.
Yeah I think since people from literally the entire globe play football since they're like 4 years old and try to compete the best players usually peak a couple years then lower themselves for the next. It's very rare to have 2 guys at the very top their entire careers. Usually injuries and stuff shorten careers and you won't see many people play at the very top of their game for over 10 years
There are professional scouts watching games all around Europe, South America, etc. Not necessarily the academies.
That's for all ages.
I think much of those scouts just have good connections... anyway when a young (or older) player starts to stand out the word is passed among that specialized community involving couches, managers, agents, scouts, the media...
Would love to see you react to some of the classic European teams.
Man Utd and Sir Alex Ferguson's Class of '92s treble winning side.
Arsenal's Invincibles.
Real Madrid and their Galacticos.
AC Milan 87-90. Italian grit with Dutch style.
Ajax 95. CL winners, with a raft of players who'd go on to win every league going.
Etc. Etc
There is no such thing as Uefa final so good that you corrected cause its important to separate these things, but i understand you have just started watching this sport
Copa del Rey or if we go by the actual full name Copa de su Majestad el Rey is just a tournament within the Spanish league on which all the teams are invited , the winner gets a qualification spot into the UEFA Champions League . It's very rare for a none La Liga team top 5 to not win it .
El Clasico (Barcelona vs Real Madrid) is the most watched sporting event in the world. This after the world cup final that is every 4 years
Transfers happen a little differently in Europe compared to in the states. Teams scout all over the world for players to sign and as long as a transfer window is open in the countries involved in the deal, transfers can happen. Player Trades, whilst common in the US, are bascially nonexistent in Europe. Instead Team A would pay a "transfer fee" to Team B in order to get the right to let the player join their team.
13:00 Ronaldo went to Lisbon and Joined Sporting Lisbon where Manchester United bought him from. The clubs have scouts and you can be bought from anywhere in the world within the transfer windows.
El' Clasico is the name given to the match whenever Real Madrid and Barcelona play each other.
The Copa del Rey is the Club Cup competition in Spain.
I honestly love Messi more but I resigned myself to enjoying both while they are still playing the Beautiful Game!
Our Generation got to witness two aliens in human form. GOAT DUO.
Listen I respect Ronaldo but seriously?? Alien?? That moniker is reserved only for Messi...he does things that nobody else does...Ronaldo is more like a machine/robot..
thank you
When Real Madrid and Barcelona play against each other in LaLiga (the Spain league) it’s called El Classico.
Small correction, it isn't only la liga, whenever Madrid and Barcelona play against each other in any tournament, it's an el Clasico
Messi - Cristiano was like Bird vs Magic or Lebron vs Curry. But on steroids. I never missed one single La liga game from these two in all these years and it was worth it.
I feel really bad for CR7 for some people thinking he's arrogant, his confidence is always mistaken for arrogance. Cristiano is one of the most down to earth people ever, google this information and you will find that he's the most charitable athlete in the WORLD.
I love both of Messi and Cristiano, both are different in personality but Messi is seen as more friendly because of the media always making Cris looking like the bad guy, they want fans to think that it's a rivalry between the villain and the hero LoL .. Even in this documentary they mentioned Messi's hormones condition but they didn't mention Cristiano's heart condition and the almost career ending injury he suffered from 2014. If you think Cris is arrogant then I suggest you take a look at Zlatan Ibrahimovic !
As you surely already know, each nation has two simultaneous tournaments. Here in Italy we call them: Championship (La Serie A) and Coppa (La coppa Italia). Even with other names, the formula is the same in almost all other countries. The Championships are certainly a priority for the teams as at the end of the season it is from the championship that the rank of a team is established, whoever wins the championship participates in the CL, the top positions (depending on the rank of the nation) participate in the Europa league, the last ones go back to the lower series and therefore it is usually preferred to neglect the cup. Except as the cup always has a knockout formula (if you lose you are out) as you get closer to the final the cup also increases in importance. Obviously the aim of a club is to collect as much money as possible and the more tournaments you play and the greater the proceeds among the public, TV and sponsors. On the other hand, the more games you play in the season, the higher the risk of making players tired, the risk of injuries etc. In the championships each team meets all the other teams (in the same series) twice, in the cups instead many more teams access; Example for Italy: All Serie A, all Serie B, 4 teams from Serie C that are selected through a preventive mini tournament among the best of each Serie C group. However, at the end of the season there is a further match between the championship winning team and the cup winner. Here in Italy that trophy is called: "Supercoppa Italiana" while in Spain it is the coppa del Rey. El classico, on the other hand, is simply the name that the single match R.Madrid - Barcellona has taken over the years, the press tends to invent names for those particular matches that often recur and that have an importance for the historical value of the two teams involved, for example the Derbys (when both teams are from the same city) but also for historical rivalries.
Most ppl call Ronaldinho "the smile of football".. even his playstyle is happy 😂
In Spain, there are 3 tournaments. The biggest is LaLiga followed by Copa Del Rey then Super Copa
The Hundred ended on Saturday, good competition with some very novel features.🏏
