Messi goals against these rivals, if it is Cristiano they criticise him and demand it

The debate that always has everyone thinking, the best player in the world has been disputed in the last decade between the two greatest exponents of world football, they are Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although both players are no longer at their best, they are still two of the best players in history, both are competing contemporaries.

The 37 year old Portuguese star's football present is uncertain, the player has not had the consistency he wanted last season, he was the top scorer of the team last season, but missed the pre-season with the Red Devils, from that moment on Erik ten Hag gave him a secondary role at the Old Trafford club.

The Portuguese star wanted to leave the institution for failing to qualify for the current Champions League, but the attempt to leave was unsuccessful, that hurt the level of play that has the Portuguese star. Despite this situation he was ranked 20th for the Ballon d'Or, he is still one of the best players in the world today. Lionel Messi is playing his second season at PSG in a leading role.

Lionel Messi's last 15 goals have been against low impact opponents, these goals have come against Maccabi Haifa, Clermont, Jamaica, Honduras, Lille, Lyon, Nice, Benfica, Nantes and Ajaccio. When Cristiano scored goals against non-crucial opponents he was criticised, but with Messi this is not the case, even though he plays in a lower level league such as Ligue One.

Messi scores goals for these teams and they don't criticise him like they do Cristiano

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to continue at the highest level possible, that is why they must help him to regain his confidence and level, and show why he is one of the best players in history, besides that, he is the top scorer in history, at the level of Selecicones Nations and clubs. That is why Cristiano's game is demanding more from him.
