The former Argentine striker is not afraid to criticize Cristiano Ronaldo when compared to his close friend Lionel Messi.
Sharing on Twitch , Aguero emphasized: “Look at Ronaldo’s goals. All goals from free kicks are luck. Messi shoots from every angle. Raul or Benzema have more beautiful goals than Ronaldo.” .
Aguero and his friends watched an 18-minute video clip summarizing the best goals in Ronaldo and Messi’s careers before making a comparison. “How many goals from the free kick? 15 of Ronaldo’s 20 best goals are from free kicks, with Messi it’s when he dribbles past 5 people,” Aguero emphasized.
The former Man City star even downplayed the goal that helped Ronaldo win the best goal award in 2008 when CR7 hit a 40-meter kick that netted Porto in the Champions League . “It’s the goalkeeper’s fault,” Aguero said, pointing to the Porto keeper on the screen.
During his entire career, Ronaldo scored 58 goals from the free kick. In particular, there are many super products such as the goal against Arsenal in the semi-finals of the Champions League 2008/09, the goal against Portsmouth in the 2007/08 Premier League or the kick against Spain at the 2018 World Cup.
Messi meanwhile has 61 goals from the free kick. Many of these are also super products like the goal against Liverpool in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League 2018/19 or the kick against Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup.
Ronaldo has now left Europe to go to Saudi Arabia to play football. Messi meanwhile plays football at PSG. After winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina, Messi still shows a relatively good performance with the French team. However, Messi’s PSG was knocked out of the Champions League from the round of 16 after a defeat to Bayern Munich .
Aguero is Messi’s best friend. After retiring due to heart disease, the Argentinian striker regularly livestreams to interact with the audience. In online chat sessions, the former Argentine striker is quite open in sharing about hot events he has participated in.
Every time the online session shows signs of downfall, Aguero often calls Messi to talk to attract the audience.
