The new 'battle' between Messi and Ronaldo. |
On April 16th, Messi became the 100% owner of UE Cornella, a club currently playing in the Spanish Third Division. This is seen as a strategic move by the Argentine superstar to maintain his involvement with football in his new role.
Messi's long-term goal is to build Cornella into a sustainable development project, gradually moving the team up to higher divisions, with the ultimate ambition of reaching La Liga.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is also not immune to the trend of investing in football. The Portuguese star currently owns 25% of Almeria, a team competing in the Spanish Second Division. This opens up the prospect of a new rivalry between the two legends, but this time as business owners.

Messi and Ronaldo could meet in new roles. |
However, the possibility of Cornella and Almeria facing each other anytime soon remains quite remote. Messi's team will have to go through a difficult promotion journey, from the Third Division to the Second Division, where Almeria is currently playing. A scenario where the two teams meet in La Liga would require even more conditions, including Almeria being promoted or maintaining their position while Cornella continuously improves.
A more plausible scenario is for the two teams to meet in the Copa del Rey. The Spanish domestic cup competition always provides opportunities for lower-league teams to face bigger clubs. If Cornella qualify and the draw pits them against Almeria, fans could witness a clash between two teams associated with Messi and Ronaldo.
Regardless of the tournament, the allure of Messi and Ronaldo is enough to keep the entire football world watching every move of lesser-known clubs in Spain.
