Farewell to these 2 football legends that had defined the early years of the 21st century, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi!
He doesn't compare to Messi.. Why do these clowns still mention him with Penaldo? <br><br>Portugal didn't want him anymore lol
"First they ignore you, then laugh at you, then hate you. Then they fight you, then you win"
Argentina let Messi leave on his own terms but yet Portugal failed Ronaldo and had him quit on their terms. They’re both goats might not see this again stop comparing their greatness and enjoy them.
Retirement ❌<br>Kicked out ✔️
He should have retired somewhere between 2022-24 <br><br>2 wasted WC opportunities for his country, because he just wasn't up to the level it takes
Mention one international tournament (world cup or Euro) that he blaze alight.
The snake Craig burnley isn’t around so nobody was negative. That loser would’ve found a way to bash Ronaldo. Thank god Ronaldo is better than him in every way
Stop over hyping Ronaldo. There is nothing of value he contributed to his national team
Portugal didn’t show respect he deserved !
i supported Portugal just because of Ronaldo, now that he wont play again, i wont be supporting them anymore, not that i dont like them but i dont like them.
Cr7 is just ordinary player nothing extra. He was garbage they throw in garbage
God of football Messi ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you everything🐐💔🇵🇹🙏
I guess ESPN pundits are happy and jubilating now. You have criticized and blamed him for every single thing he does in the national team. The hates, envyness and badmouth from you is now over. Shameless people now talking as if they were there for him.
This Garbage panel...<br><br>Retirement of CR7...This was their dream<br><br><br>This channel should be reported..
Ronaldo's legs retired over 6 years ago. Brave of him to follow now.
I will remember it. Ronaldo has been disgraced into retirement. Can never be my GOAT. Shame!!!
Heres the stats for his "legendary" international career. Most goals scored against <br><br><br>Luxembourg (World Rank 101) — 11 goals<br>Hungary (World Rank 38) — 9 goals<br>Armenia (World Rank 110) — 7 goals<br>Lithuania (World Rank 146) — 7 goals<br>Sweden (World Rank 34) — 7 goals<br>Andorra (World Rank 172) — 6 goals<br>Latvia (World Rank 143) — 5 goals<br>Switzerland (World Rank 12) — 5 goals<br>Bosnia and Herzegovina (World Rank 57) — 4 goals<br>Denmark (World Rank 21) — 4 goals<br>Estonia (World Rank 122) — 4 goals<br>Faroe Islands (World Rank 123) — 4 goals<br>Netherlands (World Rank 9) — 4 goals<br>Poland (World Rank 37) — 4 goals<br>Republic of Ireland (World Rank 56) — 4 goals<br>Spain (World Rank 1) — 4 goals<br>Belgium (World Rank 8) — 3 goals<br>Croatia (World Rank 14) — 3 goals<br>Liechtenstein (World Rank 207) — 3 goals<br>Northern Ireland (World Rank 64) — 3 goals<br><br>That's 101 goals. <br><br>Avg FIFA ranking - 73!<br>Avg goals scored - 5.05<br><br>Stat Pad!
The Euro is not equivalent to the World Cup no matter how you dress it up
Its sad, no more clown shows in the world cup anymore :(
"No one is gonna talk about the last 2 words cups"<br><br>We will always remember the documentary how he used a clip of Messi after losing a world cup final to Germany.<br><br>We will remember
This is when this channel loses millions of views
The GOAT ronaldo siuuuuuuu forever
There is one Christiano Ronalda , there is one Jorge Jesus ❤. One does not have to diminish for one to rise. Every man is unique in his own way.
Thats good..He is like Lebron leaving the Lakers
Thank you Christiano...you played ball like crazy giving us many moments to cherish.<br><br>Continue on with your club career and leave numbers only aliens can think of emulating
Messi keeps giving the guy lessons, he will follow the GOAT every time.
We will remember that he was kicked out 😂
He retired a long time ago. He has not really played any football in like last 15 years. He barely had any touches on the ball this WC and prior ones too. He stood near the goal hoping for easy pickings and team mates to hand him the ball. So yeah he retired a long time ago. He was there for social media and photo op in the field. On the positive side, Portugal gets a new start, strategy, younger players and Ramos will finally have a spot in the team.
Look how they tried to bring in Ronaldo vs Messi. Thank you for shutting it down. Respect. This channel is Messi fanboy, and they are bias. It has so much potential
One major trophy for Portugal. Good job on him. He's helped them massively.
The one thing Ronaldo forgot is that you are never young forever
End of a stat padding era 🥲🥲
What amazing essays we have been reading! Ronaldo really has a bright future as a professional writer😂
He could have done it earlier without hurting his lagacy
World Cup win oncoming🎉
GOAT..
The CR7 Messi debate just started lol
Thank God the man child is gone
Fck u guys<br><br>Can’t even read his entire message talking about “condense it” you bakas tried to condense his whole career with lies and misinformation because your channel favors someone else
Only now they can appreciate him<br>Shame on you <br>Shame on Portugal<br>Go CR7 <br>Forward to a great future
He will always be my favourite footballer.
Now you guys won't have any one to hate on
This is sad. He was kicked out of Portugal and he had to choose retirement. lol
Good riddance
👋 bye bye bye.<br>Go ride the camel in peace.
Remember these two faced people, the same news channel are the same ones who wanted him to retire 5 years ago. The wat they are changing colors is embarrassing. "you get to choose when you retire and shouldnt be judged for it". Oh please, you were crying on the floor for him to retire, putting headlines, your ignorant narratives, the way you slandered him week in week out. We never forget!
This espn is such hypocrites, they spent years bashing ronaldo, dont go soft now bunch of snakes
What ESPN has done in this show is what people do in funerals. Talk nice at last.
@ESPNFC trying to be respectful but the fact is that Ronaldo did not have a single outstanding tournament individually AND he won ONE proper tournament with Portugal, not 3.<br>Even before Messi won the world cup, he had already won multiple player of the tournament titles. Other players considered lesser than Cristiano like Forlan, Modric, Mbappe, James Rodriguez, Rodri had outstanding tournaments but Ronaldo has had none despite 12 attempts.
Now I can go back to supporting portugal
Happy independence day, Portugal 😂😂😂
can they spell football though, how espn crew gonna live after this poor them no money after cr retired😢
Now I can support Portugal lmao. You think this is the end of Ronaldo… no this is only the beginning of the end lol. Now when Portugal wins trophies without him, Pendu will come back to the headlines and the world will all see that this penalty farming camel from Arabia was always the problem, and then his legacy will be tarnished even more than how bad it is now. Unlike Messi, who retired as the GOAT
Well the Comedy episode is over .
This needed to happen 5 years ago. He's a joke now and only drags down the team. Good riddance.
I will miss watching him play! <br>He is absolutely one of the best to lace it ever! 💯
Please, keep criticizing him like you guys always do.
One of the greatest, for sure! Messi on a different level though. Compassion is unfair.
Portugal was nothing before Ronaldo. No one cares about Portugal anymore, a bunch of selfish losers
Retiring without knowing what it is like to be in a World Cup final must hurt.
Cr7 is 2nd best for Portugal. Eusebio was the better footballer. Top 10, lower 10 of all time.
These oldies happy to see a legend retire and not making them jealous still playing at 41!
Ronaldo day, yet they kept talking about Messi and putting up competing stats!!! <br><br>Come on Guys! Let’s celebrate Messi! I mean Ronaldo!! 🎉🎉🎉
💯. True. He was a major topic for them. And they did damage him so much.
Im sorry but when is the last time ronaldo has taken defenders the way messi does?
Football is famous because CR7 played it...🎉 And not the other way round....GOAT BOAT for a reason.
Without WC he is in category of Cruyff and de’stefano etc.<br>For now only 3 to be in GOAT debate is Messi, Pele and Maradona. <br>In any sports to be considered as greatest you have to win it’s biggest prize. <br>10-15 years down the line he would just be a top 10 players for everyone. <br>Maradona’s record is nothing compared to these guys but only reason he is in the debate is because if his WC heroics and trophy….you can not deny the fact no matter what.
We will miss him but to be honest he was forced to retire😂😂
Good hopefully Lebron next
Wasn’t he sacked by Jesus?
GOAT BOAT CR7....retires as the undisputed king of international football...🎉
Does Portugal FC still exist? 🤔 Also retired 🫡
Now celebrate mother fuckers you guys wanted this for a long time
Fukkk this channel😊
Have some shame and keep your mouth shut , all his carrier ESPN has been nothing but a presstitude for promoting Ronaldo hate and peddling false news . Most 3rd class sports media ever to exist.
Good now become youtuber
Pele….Maradona….Cruyff….George Best….Bobby Charlton……..Nobody can come close to these 5!
These guys are happy he retired...they have always bashed him its wild.
His boring rants and being a crybaby will be remembered also. Not even in the top 10……
should have retired in 2022
How will you guys get views now😢
He has to because no place for him in the Team all those players are fed up with him it's all a down play going on now
Kicked out of real Madrid kicked out by man united now portugal thats crazy
You're guy's don't like him way give his credit now
Hypocrites 🎉🎉🎉 ESPN
WELL DONE CRISTIANO RONALDO
Messi >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<b>Ronaldo:</b><br><br>6 WC, 0 POTT.<br><br>Even Modrić won the WC Golden Ball with Croatia as a midfielder.<br><br>6 Euros, 0 POTT.<br><br>Even Donnarumma won it as a goalkeeper.<br><br>4 UEFA Nations League, 0 POTT.<br><br>Even Nuno Mendes won it with the same Portugal team as a defender. <br><br>Overrated is an understatement.
So glad this clown got forced to retire. It’s been a circus for about 4 years now<br><br>Bye bye fraudnaldo. 👋
He already got a proper send-off when he got in his plane with the captain band on and abandoned his team….bye. You won’t be missed. You’ve been in the way since midway through your time at Juventus.
CR7 Salute
Shaka deserved credit he’s the first goalkeeper that Ronaldo scored his first goal in EPL
Cr7 was not a CF for Madrid! He always played LW with a free role and placed himself in the box at the perfect moments! You can go back and rewatch any game Ronaldo only played CF for a few games for Madrid and wasn’t very good at it!
well, one thing is for sure, whenever he retires for good (as well as Messi) it will slow down and eventually stop the media machine, and all the pundits inflating the value of their stats will be gone (no more money to be made) <br>The numbers will fade (ask Pele and his 1K + goals) and all you are left is with how you really impacted the game, on the field. Highlights (in our era) will be the only thing left, and no amount of penalty goals and stats will make future generations remember you…I mean once you see a penalty you see them all, am I right? <br>Forget Ballon D’Or, Boat, stats, all that 🐂💩<br>TIME puts the greats where they deserve to be, and any recognition (or lack there of) will be accurate, and it will come to this guy, and to the other, in proper amounts.
What happens if cristiano gets benched in his farewell game?
Up next
