Messi fans got their World Cup. The debate is over. The throne is his.
Ronaldo fans say he carried Portugal further than Messi ever carried Argentina. Euro 2016. Nations League. Big tournament DNA.
But here's the thing.
What if Ronaldo is not playing at all at the WC2026?Messi might not either?
So now what? Do we debate their ghosts forever or do we finally admit one generation is about to replace them both?
Your football brain vs your ego. Pick one.
