5 unjustified reasons why Lionel Messi is disliked by some people

#5 Confused love for Cristiano Ronaldo

And we will conclude our slideshow with this point. The debate of this era has been Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. It will never stop, not even after 100 years have passed. Our grandchildren will be telling stories about these two to their grandchildren. And since there is enough video evidence – thanks to the development of technology in modern times – for them to research from, the debate will never end.

Cristiano Ronaldo fanboys are so devoted to their idol that rationality goes out of the window when the aforementioned debate rises. For them, Lionel Messi is a midget and a tax fraud who gets biased love from the high-ranked FIFA officials. Apparently, according to some of them, playing for Barca while having a baby-face helps with PR rating with the high-rankers.

Hence, whatever Messi has achieved is the direct result of sycophantism, which makes the Portuguese’s achievement superior to the Argentine’s.

Messi fan: “Messi is a 5-time Ballon d’Or winner.”

Cristiano fanboy/fangirl: “Of course. I would have also had the same amount had I been rubbing shoulders with high-ranked FIFA officials day-in-day-out.”
