Lionel Messi’s stunned reaction after fans tried to give him the Cristiano Ronaldo shirt

When a young fan tried to give Lionel Messi a Cristiano Ronaldo shirt, he did something incredibly funny.

The two players have been together on the world stage for more than 15 years and have won 12 Ballon d’Or awards between them. Their feud goes back to when they played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, in Spain.

Messi now plays for Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer (MLS). He moved there from Paris Saint-Germain over the summer.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, plays football for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and is currently top of the goalscoring charts after scoring two great goals in his last game.

Fans have continued to argue about who is better, even though the players play in different countries. One fan even shoved a Ronaldo Al Nassr shirt in Messi’s face, which made the 36-year-old player look shocked.

The video is below. But one brave young fan brought a Ronaldo shirt to the event, which made the World Cup winner react in a strange way.

Messi looked shocked when he saw Ronaldo’s shirt and then stared at the young fan holding it with wide eyes.

He led his country to victory at the World Cup in Qatar and is the favorite to win his eighth Ballon d’Or on Monday.

In an interview with CBS Sports, Thierry Henry said that Messi should win the award, even though Erling Haaland was great last season. Henry said, “I mean, a lot of people can argue that, but I think we can talk about what happened in the final if you win the World Cup the way he did.”

“As a Frenchman, I was a little let down by how it ended, but you can’t say he doesn’t deserve it if he wins.”

“A lot of people can say that Man City players, Haaland, and some other players can also say ‘why not me?'” she said. You can’t say it’s wrong if he wins, though.

“You have history. Sometimes I think about Lewandowski. They said there would be no Ballon d’Or, but there would be football.” Why wasn’t that guy able to win the Ballon d’Or?”
