🚨🎙️| Andrea Pirlo on Lionel Messi being nominated for the 2026 Ballon d’Or while Cristiano Ronaldo misses out:

“At this stage of their careers, you simply cannot compare Messi and Ronaldo. They have evolved into completely different types of players.
Messi has always been a playmaker as much as a goalscorer."

"He can operate anywhere across the attack, drop deeper, create chances, control the tempo and still decide matches with goals and assists.
Ronaldo was an explosive winger in his younger years — creating, dribbling and scoring. But as his career progressed, he transitioned into more of a pure striker, naturally becoming less involved in the build-up."

"Today, Messi can still dictate games from deeper positions, while Ronaldo’s primary role is finishing. Defenders know this, so they focus on denying him space inside the box."

"That’s why, at this stage of their careers, football naturally favours Messi’s style more. Honestly, Messi could play until 50 and still find a way to influence games. His understanding of football is simply different.” 🐐⚽

This is how it’s done ✅

Happy birthday to Alexandre Song who is celebrating his 39th birthday today. 🇨🇲
