A legendary era comes to an end, and he cried after playing his last match. Goodbye CR7. #CR7 @Cristiano

This is his last World Cup, and also his final match with the Portugal national team.
I’ve seen too many people fawn over Messi and viciously belittle Ronaldo, but it’s undeniable that in the era of these two superstars, their dominance was on par. During that time, so many other gifted players’ careers were reduced to mere background to theirs, drowned out by the debate about who the real GOAT is between the two of them—until they grew old, when football finally returned to a state where many challengers rose again. This is a competition and conversation between two legendary players lasting for more than ten years, and isn’t it also a case of them mutually achieving each other? Clearly, Ronaldo’s achievements with the national team are not as strong as Messi’s, lacking the supreme aura of the “God of War” cup—perhaps with a little less luck—but legends never fade. Respect
