Jamie Carragher neatly organized "Meho Daejeon."
"That's not a matter of debate. Cristiano Ronaldo is nowhere near Lionel Messi," Carragher said in an appearance on the British broadcaster CBS Sports.
Carragher's words are true. The so-called "Mejo Battle" between Messi and Ronaldo ended when Messi lifted his eighth Ballon d'Or in his career.
In a way, Messi's win was natural. It is no exaggeration to say that the 2022-23 season is Messi's year. Messi shook off his long-standing relationship by winning the FIFA World Cup Qatar. He got off to a shaky start by losing the first group match against Saudi Arabia 1-2, but later defeated Poland and Mexico to advance to the round of 16. Since then, he has advanced to the finals by catching all powerful players such as Australia, the Netherlands and Croatia, and successfully won the trophy for the first time in 36 years after 1986 when he defeated defending champion France after a penalty shootout. 토토사이트
Messi has displayed remarkable performance during the process. He displayed tremendous performance by scoring seven goals and three assists in seven matches, and recording Man of the Math, setting a record for most offensive points in a World Cup as well as dominating all major competitions with this World Cup championship. It was truly a World Cup for Messi.
He returned to Paris Saint-Germain after the World Cup and maintained his outstanding performance. Although he made it to the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League, he showed disappointing performance as a team, scoring 16 goals and 16 assists in 32 matches in the league. Having conquered the soccer world in such a way, Messi left the European stage to spend the last years of his career.
Messi has displayed outstanding performances in the 2022-23 season, including the World Cup title, and won his eighth Ballon d'Or award in his career. "This award is given as achievement that I achieved together with the Argentine national team. It is a gift given to the players, coaching staff and the Argentinean people. I am proud that I did not stop taking on the challenge. All I had left was the World Cup," he said.
Messi has become an "all-time legend" in the soccer world. Carragher also praised Messi. "Ronaldo is one of the best goal scorers of all time, but Messi is the best player of all time. You can say it without hesitation. If Ronaldo simply scored a goal, Messi was an incredible player even when he scored a goal," he said.
