In addition to their outstanding standing at the top of the sport, both players had successful 2021–22 seasons, demonstrating their continued ability to compete at the highest level.
Ronaldo intended to leave Man Utd in the summer of 2022 in order to participate in the Champions League, but the Red Devils were unable to provide that for him because the previous season saw the worst Premier League finish in history. Ronaldo remained a United player after the transfer window closed in early September, though, as he was unable to find a new team.
Messi, on the other hand, had a lot more laid-back summer in 2022 than he did in 2021 because he remained with Paris Saint-Germain rather than switching teams like he did in 2021. The legendary Barcelona player departed Camp Nou on a free transfer since his contract couldn’t be renewed.
Ronaldo and Messi are frequently compared, and their fans fervently argue about who is the greatest player of all time, despite the fact that both left La Liga and no longer compete in the same local league.
Here are their outcomes for 2022–2023:
