Ronaldo still shows excellent form, despite being 40 years old. |
Do you remember the last time you were truly moved by football? Maybe it was when Messi dribbled past three defenders and slotted the ball into the far corner. Or maybe it was when Cristiano Ronaldo jumped higher than everyone else and headed the ball into the net.
Those moments are not just goals, they are vivid memories, unchanging emotions that are associated with an entire generation. And it is wonderful that, to this day, fans can still witness them playing - Messi is 37, about to turn 38; Ronaldo is in his 40s - but still playing, still inspiring, still making the whole world watch.
Just a few days ago, Messi continued to show his class at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ - a tournament he could not miss, even though Inter Miami had to receive a special invitation. Meanwhile, Ronaldo lifted another title with the Portuguese national team (UEFA Nations League), continuing to be the irreplaceable leader of national football.
Many believe that their Ballon d'Or reign is over. Messi with 8 titles, Ronaldo with 5 - the numbers are historic. But perhaps it's time for a different perspective: instead of just celebrating each outstanding season, why not award a trophy that recognises the entire journey - a great and unrepeatable legacy?
In 1989, France Football created a unique award: the Super Ballon d'Or - awarded to Alfredo Di Stefano as the best player of three decades. It was not a reward for a single season, but a complete recognition of his influence over time.
Messi's time is not over yet. Leo's magic in football is still making waves on the pitch. |
Now, more than 35 years later, football has an even bigger pair of legends - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo - two players who have not only defined a generation, but also changed the way we look at greatness in football.
Messi is a natural genius. He plays football like he paints - gentle, graceful, intelligent and full of emotion.
With Barcelona, Messi is the soul of tiki-taka. With Argentina, he brought the country to the top of the world after 36 years of waiting. Even though he now plays in the US, Messi still makes fans admire every time he touches the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a symbol of will and desire. He was not born a genius, but through extraordinary efforts, he has turned himself into one of the greatest players in history.
Ronaldo is Portugal's all-time leading scorer and undisputed leader for two decades. At 40, he's still playing, still scoring and still inspiring.
Messi and Ronaldo are not just rivals. They are two poles of attraction - competing and elevating each other.
Ronaldo shows no signs of stopping. |
Ronaldo and Messi set a new standard for excellence, making what was once considered “impossible” seem “normal”. They are the reason millions wake up at dawn, just to see a free kick, a dribble or simply a look between the two on the pitch.
So, if the Ballon d'Or was awarded to a 20th-century icon, then the 21st century deserves not just one, but two names - Messi and Ronaldo. For once, let the football world put aside the debate about "who is better", and look at the obvious truth: both deserve to be etched into history with an unprecedented special title.
FIFA and France Football, the Ballon d'Or awarding bodies, should not miss this historic opportunity. Give the Super Ballon d'Or to Messi and Ronaldo. Not because they need another title, but because the world needs a confirmation: we have lived in the era of two immortal legends. And that is something that deserves to be remembered forever.
