In the discussions about Messi and Ronaldo over the years, I personally think the most reasonable sentence is: football benefits Messi, and Ronaldo benefits football.
How to explain this? And listen to me! First of all, let's explain in the first half of the sentence that football benefits Messi. We all know that Messi has suffered from growth hormone deficiency since childhood, and his height has always been limited. For this reason, his parents were very anxious and went around to find doctors to treat their diseases. Because Messi played well since he was a child, by chance the video of his kick was seen by Barca scouts, so Barca wrote a contract on a napkin to sign with Messi to bear all the costs of his treatment. This legendary story also became a good story for a while.
In this regard, we have to sigh at the charm of football and the courage of Barça's top management. Being willing to spend huge sums of money to help Messi treat his illness requires great courage in itself. Because there are thousands of talented little talents in South America, Barca chose Messi, not one step earlier, not one step later, just a good time period. We all know what happened later, Messi successfully cured his dwarfism, and became the main core of Barca through his own efforts, creating his own business!
Therefore, football does benefit Messi, just imagine, without the insight of Barça scouts, then Messi at this time may be one of the ordinary Argentine dwarfism. The family's life will become very difficult as a result. So football changed the fate of Messi and his family, and also changed the fate of Argentine football.
So let's analyze the second sentence, Ronaldo benefits football. There is no doubt that Ronaldo is one of the greatest stars in the world, he has refreshed people's understanding of strikers with one championship and goal after another, we have to admit that Ronaldo has changed football and benefited football! His iron-blooded spirit of not giving up sustains all those who love football. The peerless duo Mbappe and Haaland in the new century can be described as heroes out of youth, and their idols are Cristiano Ronaldo. Yes, Ronaldo's spirit is also giving birth to generations of football superstars. Together, they changed the course of the history of the sport. So Ronaldo benefits football.
So we have to say: football benefits Messi, Ronaldo benefits football!
