The two-decade rivalry between the world’s two top football superstars, Ronaldo and Messi, has come to an end. But the sons of these two families have fans excited about the prospect of a “father-to-son” succession in the football world.
On the 40th birthday of his great father, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. had a “fireworks” performance when he fired a cannon into the net of U15 Al-Ittihad. Specifically, U15 Al-Nassr won a close 10-9 victory over their great rival, and little Ronaldo scored all 10 goals in that victory. People have long mentioned that the boy seemed to inherit the genes of his great father. And Ronaldo Jr. is still one of the most popular child stars in the world.
But just one day later, another shot rang out as if to remind that the world of football is not just Ronaldo. Thiago Messi, the eldest son of Lionel Messi, had a fierce response. In the MLS Cup match, Thiago helped his team defeat U13 Atlanta United with a score of 12-0. And of course, the eldest son of the Argentine football legend played a leading role when he scored 11 goals. Thiago also possesses a compact physique like his father when he was young, but with magical feet, skillful dribbling and delicate finishing, this boy promises to bring big surprises to world football.
Will the Ronaldo – Messi race appear again?
The sports world has witnessed a two-horse race between the two biggest superstars over the past two decades. Messi and Ronaldo have created a fierce but equally beautiful and humane competition. Age has slowed them down. It is almost time for them to say goodbye to the pitch, closing a glorious chapter in the history of world football. It will surely make many people regret.
The appearance of two talented sons is like a ray of light that warms the hearts of those who love them. Surely, more or less, the two boys will inherit part of the career of their two great fathers. The whole world is watching their footsteps, even though they are still very young. Ronaldo Jr. and Thiago Messi have both shown precious qualities in the sense of “like father, like son”. The father of the two boys is an endless inspiration for sports, and he will certainly be a support and a great motivation for their development.
The two great fathers are a very large shadow and too difficult to overcome. But let’s wait and see, because they are like fresh seeds that are being carefully and meticulously cared for by those fathers. Who knows, how much bigger they will grow.
