Easy.
Ronaldo doesnβt perform so itβs easier to remember.
Messi on the other hand has put up so many fine performances.
You try to remember a good performance, boom, youβre already mixing it with another outstanding performance.
iβve said this before and iβll keep saying it. I've got a conviction that the war between cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi is one-sided. 90% of ronaldo's fans, if you ask them when messi last played or when he last scored, they wouldn't be able to answer. But on the other side, 100% of Messi's fans know the finest details about ronaldo.
of course, this is while the rivalry ended on 18/12/22 according to them.
