Messi threw cold water on Ronaldo's face, sent an opponent away as soon as he returned

As the "heavenly chosen rivals" of world football, it can be said that Ronaldo and Messi are put on the scale in every situation. From personal life to career achievements, comparisons are inevitable.

Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo officially reached 1 billion followers on social media platforms. Immediately, CR7 posted on his personal page to mark this admirable milestone.

After that, the Portuguese star continued to attract attention when posting on his personal Youtube page a video listing each subscription, including both Weibo and Kuaishou (China's short video sharing platform).

Ronaldo's "counting every follow" move makes people realize that this guy pays a lot of attention to personal records. Last month, the striker born in 1985 did not forget to celebrate his achievement of scoring 900 goals. Not only that, CR7 also constantly mentioned reaching the achievement of 1,000 goals.

Many people think that for Ronaldo personally, paying attention to such records gives him more motivation to continue striving, not because he wants to compete with anyone. However, there are also opinions expressing that what the 39-year-old striker is doing is to see where he stands compared to Messi. Because as opponents, there must be wins and losses.

Meanwhile, the Argentine superstar is the complete opposite of Ronaldo in terms of achievements. The proof is that in an interview aired last summer, he couldn't even remember and answered incorrectly when asked about the number of goals he had. This was like pouring cold water on CR7's face.

Many viewers may be surprised to hear this, but Messi doesn't really care much about his records. Even the Golden Ball - the most prestigious individual award for a player - doesn't make the World Cup champion think. Instead, he focuses on collective titles.

"The Ballon d'Or is the most important award in football, from an individual perspective," Messi confided last year. "However, I have never considered this award important because I only pay attention to collective titles," the 37-year-old striker said.

Most recently, Messi returned and scored 2 goals in the first half of the match against Philadelphia Union - his first appearance after 2 months of injury. Not only that, El Pulga also assisted the 3rd goal, helping the home team set the score 3-1 to lead the tournament.

Accordingly, in the match that just ended, Inter Miami had a difficult start when they were scored by their opponents thanks to Mikael Uhre just 62 seconds after the match started. It is known that Philadelphia Union is stuck in 11th place and has no place in the play-off round. Therefore, they are very determined to maintain their advantage.

Because the victory helped Philadelphia Union light up hope while Inter Miami really had no more worries because they were sure to enter the championship race. However, the candle in them quickly went up in smoke in the 26th minute of the match.

When Luis Suarez passed the ball to Messi, the striker born in 1987 immediately occupied the space, dribbling past the opposing defender to take the equalizer. Four minutes later, he shone again with a push past Union goalkeeper Andrew Rick to score, making the score 2-1. This time, Jordi Alba assisted El Pulga.

Messi almost had a third goal in the first half, but it was ruled out for offside. The first half ended 2-1. In the second half, the pace of the game was not as high as before, but Inter Miami still controlled the game. They did not allow their opponents much of the ball to attack.

And in this game, Messi's team finally found the third goal. This time, the Argentine superstar was still the center of attention. He completed his show by assisting Suarez to score his 17th goal of the season, sealing the score at 3-1.
