The Ronaldo-Messi hoax

Spanish media have surprisingly claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to end his illustrious career by playing alongside Lionel Messi at Inter Miami.

Spanish media reports that Ronaldo wants to partner with Messi.

The scenario of Ronaldo becoming Messi's teammate is enough to send shivers down the spines of football fans worldwide, because for over two decades, these two top superstars have been at opposite extremes, creating one of the greatest rivalries in football history.

According to circulating articles, the Portuguese superstar is reportedly ready to put aside their long-standing rivalry to join Leo in creating the final chapter in MLS. At 40, Ronaldo is entering the twilight of his career, while Messi, 38, also doesn't have much time left on the pitch.

Ronaldo admitted that retirement would come very soon, and couldn't hide his emotions when thinking about the moment of saying goodbye to football. Messi was more reserved, but also hinted at the possibility of not participating in the 2026 World Cup. However, extending his contract with Inter Miami until 2028 shows that M10 has no intention of stopping yet.

December 28th is April Fool's Day in Spain.

The story became even more intriguing when Mundo Deportivo published an article claiming that Ronaldo instructed his agent to approach Inter Miami, accepting a salary significantly lower than the more than £3 million per week he was earning at Al Nassr.

The article even listed a series of reasons, from Ronaldo's boredom with Saudi Arabian football and concerns about the desert climate affecting his skin, to his ambition to increase his image appeal in Miami, pursue a film career, and continue breaking personal records by leveraging Messi's assists.

However, it was quickly debunked. December 28th in Spain is known as "April Fool's Day." Therefore, the post was actually a joke. The author even signed it with the name Ricardo Tubbs, a fictional character from the television series Miami Vice.

Therefore, the prospect of Ronaldo and Messi wearing the same Inter Miami jersey remains purely imaginary. While Messi enjoys his vacation after leading Miami to the MLS title, Ronaldo remains focused on training with Al Nassr for their first Saudi Pro League championship.
