TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Two football superstars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, are often compared with one another and are constantly on competition to win the best player title.
Both Ronaldo and Messi played in the top club in the Spanish La Liga. Messi is playing for Barcelona while Ronaldo is playing for Real Madrid. Both clubs have also on constant rivalries. However, in the 2018 World Cup event in Russia, the stories are a little different. Ronaldo has proven himself that he is no doubt better than Messi.
In the first match of Group, Ronaldo leads Portugal to victory by scoring three goals against Spain. Ronaldo successfully executed one penalty kick, one free kick, and scored a goal through a direct shot from outside the penalty box. The goals have made him the temporary top scorer in the 2018 World Cup event.
On the other hand, Messi started his World Cup appearance with a bad start. As the captain of Argentina, Messi failed to capitalize on a penalty kick and failed to bring victory for his team against Iceland. Although it was not Messi's first failure to execute a penalty, but a failure made in a prestigious event such as the World Cup, will certainly remembered in history.
