When asked about Messi's 2022 World Cup title with the Argentina team, C. Ronaldo did not think that was a measure of greatness. The superstar No. 7 emphasized: "If you ask me if my dream is to win the World Cup, I will answer no. That is not my dream. A tournament of only 6-7 matches cannot define who is the greatest player in history.

Let's see how many times Argentina won the World Cup before Messi. Twice, right? So it's normal. These countries are used to winning big tournaments."

This issue was raised by reporters to Messi at the America Business Forum event held in Florida. The Argentine superstar replied: "The truth is that the feeling of lifting the World Cup trophy is difficult to describe. It is difficult to put into words what that title means to me, to my family, to my teammates and to the whole country of Argentina.

You could see how the Argentinian fans celebrated and understand how much we wanted it. We had waited a long time for this title.

Messi responded by saying that winning the World Cup is the pinnacle of a player's career (Photo: Getty).

For me, it was a special moment. Winning the World Cup is the pinnacle of a footballer's career, like for anyone who has reached the pinnacle of their career. After winning the World Cup, you can't ask for more.

I was lucky because I had won everything at club level and on an individual level. The Argentina national team also won the Copa America. So the World Cup was the missing piece. It made my career more complete."

C.Ronaldo will have his last chance to win the World Cup in 2026. Similarly, it will also be the last major tournament in Messi's career.
