Qatar 2022: Two reasons why Ronaldo can't match Messi's perfection on the pitch - Carragher

Former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher has given two reasons why Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo cannot match Argentina captain Lionel Messi's perfection on the football pitch.

According to Carragher, Ronaldo cannot match Messi's perfection on the football pitch because the former Manchester United striker has never orchestrated the tempo of a game, besides scoring as prolifically as the star of the game. Paris Saint Germain.

Messi, 35, is set to play in Sunday's 2022 FIFA World Cup final against France.

This match will be Messi's last appearance in World Cup competition.

Messi has been an integral part of Argentina's campaign, scoring five goals and registering three assists so far.

His rival, Ronaldo, meanwhile, came out of the World Cup in the quarter-finals after Portugal lost 1-0 to Morocco.

"No one who has played football for the last 30 years - and I include Cristiano Ronaldo - comes close to Messi's perfection on a football pitch," Carragher told the Telegraph.

"Ronaldo is one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, but he has never orchestrated the tempo of a game besides scoring as prolifically as Messi."
