Messi responded to Ronaldo from afar: The World Cup is the ultimate achievement! The feeling of winning the championship is indescribable

Regarding the positioning of the World Cup, the two superstars, Ronaldo and Messi, have different understandings. The 40-year-old Ronaldo believes that winning the World Cup is "not his dream" and that 6-7 World Cup games cannot be used to define the best in history.

Not long ago, Ronaldo accepted an exclusive interview with Piers Morgan and talked about the World Cup.

C Ronaldo said bluntly: "If you ask me, 'Is it your dream to win the World Cup?' I will tell you, no, this is not my dream."

"The World Cup should not be used as a standard to define one of the best players in history. Just because of winning a championship, do you think it is fair to rely on 6-7 games?"

Regarding Ronaldo's remarks, Messi gave his own thoughts. On November 5, Messi attended the American Business Forum held in Miami. FIFA President Infantino, tennis superstar Serena Williams, and actor Will Smith were also present at the forum.

Messi talked about the significance of the World Cup: "We won the World Cup in 2022. It is difficult to describe the mood at that moment. It has special meaning for individuals, families and countries. For me, winning the World Cup is the most wonderful, so special and so great."

"As a player, winning the World Cup is the ultimate achievement. Just like everyone has reached the peak of their career in their own job. After winning the World Cup, you can't ask for more. I have many awards in the club and the national team has also won the Copa America, but the feeling of winning the World Cup is as difficult to explain and describe as when a child is born. Nothing I said can truly describe it.

From 2006 to 2022, Messi played in 5 World Cups, making a total of 26 appearances and scoring 13 goals. Finally, his dream came true in the 2022 World Cup. In the lists selected by ESPN, "442" magazine and other media, Messi has firmly established himself as the first person in football history. The 40-year-old Ronaldo has also played in 5 World Cups, scoring 8 goals in 22 appearances. Ronaldo will continue to fight in the 2026 World Cup - although Ronaldo believes that winning the World Cup is not the ultimate dream.
