‘A Big Failure’ – Germany Legend Matthaus Blasts Ronaldo And Labels Him ‘The Opposite Of Messi’

Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticised for his performances at World Cup 2022, while Lionel Messi has been described as “the player of the millennium”.

Lothar Matthaus, a Germany legend, has shared his thoughts on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup in 2022. Messi led Argentina to victory, earning the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player along the way. Ronaldo, on the other hand, was benched in the knockout stages as Portugal was eliminated by Morocco.

“With his ego trips, Ronaldo has damaged the team and himself. There is no doubt that he was a great player and an absolutely lethal finisher. But now he has damaged his legacy. I find it hard to think that he can find a place in a team. I kind of feel sorry for Ronaldo,” Matthaus told Bild. “Ronaldo is of course a big failure of the World Cup, the opposite of Messi. [Messi is] the absolute winner. He deserves it because he has given me and all football fans great joy with his qualities and the way he plays over 17-18 years. For me, Messi is the player of the millennium.”

Both players are expected to retire after the World Cup in Qatar in 2022. In Qatar, Messi cemented his legacy as the greatest player of all time by winning the one trophy that had eluded him throughout his incredible career. Ronaldo, on the other hand, was benched for Portugal’s two knockout stage games after irritating manager Fernando Santos with his reaction to being substituted against South Korea.
