Cristiano Ronaldo apologizes to Lionel Messi. Even to apologize, Cristiano Ronaldo visited the Argentine National Team’s training base in Ezeiza City, Argentina.
However, the Cristiano Ronaldo referred to here is not the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as Lionel Messi’s eternal rival. Cristiano Ronaldo, who apologized to Lionel Messi, was an 11-year-old Argentine boy.
So, what is the reason Cristiano Ronaldo from Argentina apologized to Lionel Messi? According to ESPN’s report, he apologized for being an admirer of Lionel Messi, but instead goes by the name Cristiano Ronaldo.
If he could choose, he would prefer to have the name Lionel Messi. However, his mother actually gave the name Cristiano Ronaldo, who is La Pulga’s eternal rival – the nickname of Lionel Messi.
“Messi, forgive my mother. I don’t know what I’m doing,” wrote Cristiano Ronaldo in the banner he brought to the Argentina national team training base on Wednesday, October 13, 2021.
Unfortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to meet Lionel Messi. This is because of the strict regulations due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
All Argentine national team players are really guarded. They are prohibited from violating health protocols, including meeting foreigners.
