🔴 Ronaldo became the center of controversy when he was mocked in FIFA’s 120th anniversary photo: “Despite not having a World Cup, he is still in the center next to Messi.”

Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese football superstar, has become the center of controversy following his placement in FIFA’s 120th-anniversary photo. The photo features Ronaldo standing alongside Lionel Messi, his long-time rival and Argentinian footballer. The controversy stems from Ronaldo’s central position next to Messi, despite the fact that Ronaldo has never won a World Cup, whereas Messi recently lifted the coveted trophy with Argentina.

     

Many fans consider the photo disrespectful to Messi and other football legends. They argue that the World Cup is the pinnacle achievement in a footballer’s career, and Ronaldo’s lack of a World Cup title is a significant gap in his accomplishments.

However, Ronaldo’s supporters have come to his defense. They claim his status as one of the greatest players of all time is undeniable, citing his numerous individual and team accolades. They argue his positioning in the photo is simply a matter of composition and aesthetics.

Despite the controversy, both Ronaldo and Messi are widely acknowledged as two of the greatest footballers of their generation. Their ongoing rivalry has pushed each other to new heights throughout their careers.

The debate surrounding Ronaldo’s placement in FIFA’s anniversary photo is likely to continue for some time. Nevertheless, there’s no denying that both he and Messi are footballing icons who have inspired millions of fans worldwide.
