The year 2023, will forever be remembered in the history of the game as a significant year an era came to an end in European football. The year Europe bad farewell to what we know as the most intense and iconic rivalry football has ever witnessed. Notwithstanding, every era must come to an end, and there is no denying the fact that Messi and Ronaldo have fully paid their dues. With a record of 12 Ballon d’Or awards and 1643 career goals between both legends, their legacies will forever be engraved in Europe as the greatest to ever play the game. They indeed exhausted all superlatives available to literature, and were critical in pushing each other to become the best both on and off the field with evidences of mutual respect and deep admiration between them.

Although, it is explicit the ‘GOAT’ debate will continue to rage on for ages, it has indeed been a pleasure to be alive to witness pure and undiluted greatness for such a long period of time. Both Messi and Roanldo will perpetually remain immortalised in European football history, and will continue to serve as inspirations for football players and fans all over the world.

If there is ever a story to prove what talent and hard work can achieve, then it is that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo; the absolute greatest by a country mile in their generation!!
