Endrick, a new football star recruited to Real Madrid, quoted Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol. This is also seen with Haaland, Mbappe, Saka, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Kvara. So many young players today all state Ronaldo as an influence for them. Messi has more accolades than Ronaldo, but the only young players I can think that stated him as an influence is Julian Alvarez and Jude Bellingham. Why do you think most young players respect and admire Ronaldo more than Messi?

    If you actually look at the statistics, Messi is the outlier. Ronaldo is average except for longevity. Ronaldo’s consistency and dedication with exceptional hard work has gotten him to 2nd best ever status but statistically Messi will never be touched.

      ronaldo has the most ucl goals of all time to go along with his five ucl titles. he also has 5 ballon d’ors, which, while less than messi, is nothing to sneeze at. i’m not even going to continue my point because hopefully everyone intrinsically knows your comment is ridiculous.
