1 year agoBut Messi and Ronaldo caseses seem different.
Ronaldo doubled down and become even better after 30, Messi kept a high an extraordinary level but he was far from his best (even if he managed to lead ARgentina to the WC)
Maybe improved is not the word, but my impression is that he become more decisive and clutch. Maybe this is coincidental with the departure of Guardiola and decrease of Barcelona’s dominance which left more room to Madrid and CR to claim the throne.
In any case, I think the point I was trying to make is understood and that Messi and Cristiano’s careers are not really parallels despite their huge longevity and consistency
