Messi with the trophy, contrasting ‘rival’ Ronaldo

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) are called eternal rivals, and they have been plagued by numerous debates over who is the world’s best soccer player.

The moment Messi lifted the championship cup on the World Cup stage, Ronaldo’s social network service (SNS) was quiet.

Footballers around the world, including Neymar, his best friends Luis Alberto Suarez and Son Heung-min, are celebrating Messi’s “last dance.”

But Ronaldo is the only one keeping silent. The last post he posted was about his feelings after losing the match against Morocco.

In this World Cup, Ronaldo faced Morocco in the quarterfinals, but was forced to withdraw from the World Cup stage in a 0-1 defeat.
