Cristiano Ronaldo provided a humorous and memorable moment during the press conference ahead of the Nations League final on June 9th, when he was unexpectedly asked about Lionel Messi. An Argentinian reporter suddenly asked, "Do you think you'll play alongside Messi in the future?" CR7 laughed and replied, "Are you asking about Messi here?"
Ronaldo said, "Bueno, boludo" (roughly translated: "Well, you're asking a tough question"). This familiar Argentinian slang phrase made the whole audience burst into laughter. CR7 continued, "I love Argentina very much. My wife is Argentinian. I was even invited to play in the FIFA Club World Cup for a team there."
Ronaldo left the possibility open: "Never say never. But honestly, it's very difficult. I respect Messi; we've been on the same football stage for 15 years. Back then, I even helped him translate from English to Spanish whenever we attended events."
Previously, FIFA President Gianni Infantino revealed the possibility of Ronaldo participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, possibly even playing alongside Messi. He stated: "I would love to see Cristiano and Messi play together. Imagine them playing for the same team in this tournament? That would be truly special."
The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is an expanded version featuring 32 of the world's top clubs, held in the US in June. Messi is guaranteed to participate, representing Inter Miami as an MLS representative. Meanwhile, Ronaldo's Al Nassr did not qualify for the tournament.
However, FIFA confirmed that the 32 teams participating in the 2025 Club World Cup are allowed to make transfers or loan deals during the special registration period from June 1 to 10.
