AGING LIKE A FINE WINE

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are two of the greatest footballers the beautiful game has ever seen. For the last two decades they have been scoring goals after goals and breaking records after records. However, in January 2023, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United and joined Saudi Arabian Club Al Nassr. In July 2023, left PSG and joined Inter Miami. 

For the first time in 2 decades, we won't be seeing these all-time greats compete in the European Football. This was bound to happen one day, and it has happened.  However even though both these greats are not at the peak of their powers, but still, they are lighting-up the teams for which they are playing. 

Inter Miami and Al Nassr both won their first silverware after the coming of these two giants of the game. Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup, whereas Al Nassr won the Arab Club Champions Cup. Furthermore, both these legends often end up on the scoresheets of their respective teams.

They have literally aged like a fine wine.
