Ronaldo Tips Messi for World Cup 2026 Glory: “He Still Has Things to Offer”
Brazilian football legend and former Real Madrid striker, Ronaldo Nazário, has thrown his support behind Lionel Messi, expressing strong belief that the Argentine maestro will shine once again on the world stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In a recent chat with DSports, Ronaldo reflected on Messi’s performances at the FIFA Club World Cup — where the 38-year-old helped Inter Miami reach the Round of 16, before being knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain in a 4-0 defeat.
Despite the setback, Ronaldo praised Messi’s vision, work rate, and influence, insisting that age has not dulled the Argentine’s greatness.
“I’ve been watching Leo in the Club World Cup matches and he still has things to offer. He always reads the game well. If he loses the ball, he tries to win it back.”
“I see Messi doing very well, and I believe Messi will be in good shape for the 2026 World Cup.”
🗣️ Opinion: From One Legend to Another – This Endorsement Matters
Coming from Ronaldo — a man who knows what it takes to dominate on the biggest stage — this is no empty compliment. It’s a resounding vote of confidence in a player still capable of shaping the destiny of world football.
While some fans and critics have begun whispering about Messi’s retirement, this statement reminds us that greatness isn’t just measured in youth, but in legacy and influence. Messi’s leadership, intelligence, and technical mastery remain unmatched.
⚽ 2026: One Last Dance?
With Messi likely making his final World Cup appearance in 2026, the tournament could become a farewell tour for the ages — one where Argentina will once again hope to ride on their captain's magic.
And if Ronaldo’s prediction holds true, we might yet witness Messi's encore at the pinnacle of football.
