However, when they left the two giants separately, it was widely expected that their careers would change dramatically. But in reality, Messi and Ronaldo's performance in the new environment is surprisingly similar, and the gap is not as big as imagined. Let's start with Messi, who ended his 20-year partnership with Barcelona in the summer of 2021 and joined French side Paris Saint-Germain.
The decision shocked the entire football world, with speculation rife rife about whether Messi would be able to show himself again in the new league and in the new team. However, Messi's performance in Paris was impressive, and he quickly integrated into the team, forming a powerful attacking trident with players such as Neymar and Mbappe.
Despite suffering a number of injuries, Messi still showed exceptional skills and outstanding performances on the pitch, winning a series of key matches for the team and becoming one of the core players of Paris Saint-Germain. Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, returned to Manchester United after ending his partnership with Juventus in the summer of 2021.
His return to the Premier League has also been in the spotlight and there is plenty of expectation that he will once again be in a dominant form at Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo's performance on his return to Manchester United was not inferior to Messi, and he quickly became the leader and soul of the team, contributing key results to the team with goals and assists. His leadership on the pitch and his decisive goal proved once again his ability and value to be a key factor in United's victory.
Judging from the match data, Messi and Ronaldo are actually very similar in the new environment. Although they are in different leagues and team styles, they still maintain excellent attacking efficiency and dominant individual ability. Whether it is Messi's Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 or Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United in the Premier League, they have all shown good competitive form and dominance.
This similar performance also makes people wonder if the gap between Messi and Ronaldo is not as big as imagined? In addition to the game statistics, Messi and Ronaldo also have different influences after leaving Barcelona and Real Madrid. Messi's position at Barcelona is irreplaceable, and his contribution and influence on the team goes far beyond his performance on the pitch, as a symbol and spiritual leader of the team.
Although Ronaldo's time at Real Madrid also left a strong mark, the team quickly found a new replacement after his departure, and his influence did not continue as long as Messi. Therefore, after leaving Barcelona and Real Madrid, Messi's influence and status far exceed that of Ronaldo.
Overall, despite the different performances of Messi and Ronaldo after leaving Barcelona and Real Madrid, their careers are half a pound. Whether in a new league or a new team, they have shown exceptional individual ability and leadership, becoming key figures in the team.
Their departure did not affect their careers as one might think, on the contrary, they continued to shine in their new surroundings, leaving an indelible mark on the world of football
