Frank Leboeuf: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's achievements cannot be compared

Former France national team defender Frank Leboeuf expressed a sharp opinion regarding the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. He emphasized that winning the Saudi Pro League title with Al-Nassr cannot be compared to Lionel Messi's impressive impact at Inter Miami. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
According to Leboeuf, upon arriving in the USA, Messi took an underdog team to a championship level in a short time. In his first season, the Argentine footballer won the Leagues Cup and completely changed the club's history.
Conversely, although Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in January 2023, he has yet to celebrate a league title. The expert noted that if Al-Nassr becomes champion, it would be due to the club's expensive signings from Europe and massive investments rather than Ronaldo's individual prowess.
Leboeuf stated: "If you want to compare, let's compare. If Ronaldo becomes champion in Saudi Arabia, it cannot be equated to what Messi did with Inter Miami. Messi immediately transformed a team at the bottom of the table, while Ronaldo needed three years and many helpers for that."
Currently, Al-Nassr is leading the title race, but experts emphasize that this result is linked to the strengthening of the squad. In the coming days, Al-Nassr faces a crucial match against Al-Hilal and two AFC Champions League finals.
