While Ronaldo is stealing goals from Teammates like Bruno Fernandes because he wants to reach 1000 goals, Messi lets Otamendi takes penalty because it was Otamendi’s last game for Argentina at home. This is why Otamendi goes to war for him. Respect is earned not given

Otamendi even has a tattoo of Messi That's how much they adore him

@kwame__micky That’s the difference between being loved and being tolerated small gestures go a long way 🤝🐐

After Messi's substitution, Almada offers his seat to him. He declines and sits on the floor, like anyother player would do. These small gestures exprese humility and build camaraderie. And that's why his teammates love him.

And that’s the difference , Messi doesn’t have the main character syndrome.

Now imagine that it was Portugal that got a penalty, and Bruno is going towards the 18 box. Ronaldo:

Incluso sin sonido y de tan lejos puedo escuchar que Dibu y Cuti le dicen "andá BOLUDO, te está llamando Leo".

I bet you Ronaldo would have taken that penalty himself Aftwards he'll hit that suiii celebration to honor Otamendi I've never seen a more selfish player than him before He needs to retire else he'll loose all the love that people have for him You retire when the love is th

See person wey them want compare with Agbaya Selfless yet he carries the team. Messi remains the greatest 👑

@AsieduMends They would go to war for him without thinking twice

Loyalty and respect is earned not bought with past glories.

There are things you cant force brother. Loyalty and love are amongst them. Messi is such a pure and geniune man.

I remember when Argentina won... What was it, the Copa America, maybe? Every single player on that team rushes to Messi to celebrate. A wholesome moment. They didn't just want to win thropies, they want to win it with Messi

Loyalty is rare these days. Messi went through hell itself & came out refined by its fires. He deserves everything good that's coming to him and much more The Goat 🐐

Moments like this will stick with him forever.

A Leader VS a Diva.

The dumbest part is that they believe this abuse will somehow help the Portugal team when instead it will be the exact opposite

@mireku_gerardo Argentina team carries Messi so why can’t Portugal carry Ronaldo. The Ronaldo h@te is forced

There are levels to this game. Messi is a level above every other player for so many reasons from a footballing perspective, but he’s also levels above the rest for being a leader and team player. Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t imagine how to even close to the respect Messi earned

The Argentine players felt Messi’s pain when the nation subjected him to insults when he wasn’t winning anything for them. On Ronaldo’s side those dumbass think Ronaldo wants to use them meanwhile you people have no better history especially Bruno .

And If I bring the one he use to give the likes of benzema penalties when he should just score you’ll tell me that doesn’t count right ?

He didn’t want to go at first? See as Martinez and this Spurs guy dey push am😂😂

He didn’t want to take it seff but look at how the players pushed further for him to tk it

USA is winning the world cup

You see why they will die if anybody disrespects him? He's a leader

You’re not ready to sacrifice, don’t expect anything from your teammates

The only time I blush is when Messi is on screen or my girlfriend is talking about me

A king never demands respect, he earns it like Messi has done throughout his career. Such aa humble personality.

Penaldo would rather die than give any of his teammates a penalty 😂😂

People see this and still wonder why Bruno doesn't rate him.

Neymar got, Suarez same. Even gave to arch nemesis Sergio Ramos in a PSG game. Humble soul.

Simple if you want to be a leader you must first serve first then respect will come

You just can’t force people to love you

The fastest way to earn loyalty is to make someone else the moment....

You are really obsessed with Ronaldo 😂cos you talk about him more than Messi

Make I hear say pendu give person him food😁
