When Argentina plays France in the FIFA World Cup 2022 final. Lionel Messi wants to win his last World Cup trophy. Following his World Cup 2022 performance, Lionel Messi has completely dominated the 2022 season. Argentina is currently in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2022, and Messi has said that Sunday’s match will be his last World Cup match. Portugal’s 37-year attempt to win the World Cup was ended when Morocco eliminated Portugal from the tournament.
However, in 2022, how does Messi stack up against Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo? After a contentious departure from Manchester United, he is still without a club, despite only scoring one goal in this World Cup. Rumors said that Ronaldo was interested in clubs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, but he denied the claims.
At the club level, Messi required the opportunity to adjust to his new crew and association after a sluggish start and lackluster showing in the majority of matches. In the meantime, Ronaldo signed with Manchester United and began scoring goals right away. Also, both of them went to the World Cup with their countries. Portugal, on the other hand, was forced to play in a playoff because they didn’t win their qualification group and were dropped into the play-off round.
However, they advanced and finished first in World Cup group G. Portugal won over Switzerland, but Morocco shocked them, effectively ending Ronaldo’s chances of competing in the World Cup. Argentina’s Messi had a polarizing international experience. It all started with a 3-0 victory over Italy in Finalissima, which won the Euro 2020 tournament.
Then came the World Cup, where Argentina finished second in Conmebol qualifying behind Brazil. However, their World Cup opener ended in frustration when they were beaten 2-1 by Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, Argentina is now in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 for the second time under Lionel Messi’s captaincy. Therefore, Messi and Ronaldo had opposite careers in 2022; The 35-year-old had to adjust to a new team, but he now leads Ronaldo in stats.
