World Cup: Messi gives a blunt response to Ronaldo

Lionel Messi responded with remarkable clarity to Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent comments, in which the Portuguese star claimed that "winning the World Cup isn’t that difficult." For the Argentine icon, reality tells a very different story. In an interview this weekend, Messi emphasized just how fragile this tournament is, where every tiny detail can decide a team’s fate.

Messi explained, highlighting the unforgiving nature of the format.

He also admitted that Argentina enjoyed their share of fortune in Qatar, even though, in his view, they "played the best football" during the knockout rounds. It’s his way of underlining that talent alone is never enough to conquer the most elusive trophy in world football.
