Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have been locked in a career-long rivalry, with GOAT status up for grabs, but do they keep an eye on what the other is doing? CR7’s former Manchester United team-mate Anderson has told GOAL that two global superstars do “care” about the record-shattering numbers that continue to be posted on opposing sides of a fierce divide.
Ronaldinho has shared a poignant tribute to his former Barcelona protege Lionel Messi following the legendary forward's emotional decision to retire from international football. The Brazilian icon, who acted as a mentor to the young Argentine during his early years at Camp Nou, reflected on their unique bond and the incredible legacy Messi leaves behind with the Albiceleste.
Former Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has heavily criticised Hugo Souza following his unconvincing display in Brazil's 1-1 draw against Australia. The 45-year-old labelled the Corinthians custodian's positional awareness "amateur", urging Selecao boss Carlo Ancelotti to overhaul his options between the posts ahead of November's friendlies.
Ex-Brazil international Anderson has told GOAL why the likes of Vinicius Junior may have earned “superstar” status prematurely, with any player that has “five good games” suddenly worth “200 million” in modern football.
