While Cristiano Ronaldo nearly joined Barcelona in 2003, and again in 2009, Lionel Messi has never really come close to leaving the Nou Camp. However, what if the moves had materialized at the time? What if Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi joined forces at a club?
Due to the lack of football recently, fans have begun posting montages of players online, ranging from goal compilations to historical games. One very thoughtful fan managed to put together a video, where the best moments from Ronaldo and Messi’s career have been conjoined to make them look like teammates.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi sharing a dressing room?
The result? Fans on Twitter being left in wonderment and awe at the prospect of two of the greatest footballers of all time sharing a dressing room.
While Lionel Messi continues to produce the goods for Barcelona in La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo has moved on to Juventus in Serie A and has aged like fine wine this season. The pair have scored over 1200 goals between them and have won 11 out of the last 12 editions of the Ballon d’Or.
Speaking to Portuguese news outlet TV1 in 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that he has relished his rivalry with Lionel Messi throughout his career.
Similarly, speaking to Radio 94.7 Octubre in 2019, Lionel Messi explained that he and Cristiano Ronaldo are a notch above the rest of the players in world football currently.
The pair share a professional relationship and have said time and again that they’ve buoyed each other throughout their careers. Cristiano Ronaldo also claimed that he would love to have dinner with Lionel Messi someday, which could prove to be one of the most iconic moments in the history of the game.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will never be teammates, but the video of them potentially sharing a dressing room was a fantastic watch! What could have been, eh?
