El Chiringuito journalist Edu Aguirre has sparked controversy with his latest assertion about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, igniting discussions across the footballing world.
Known for his outspoken views and sometimes biased coverage favoring Ronaldo, Aguirre made a bold claim, stating:
“Cristiano takes the best in the world to Saudi Arabia, and Messi takes his friends to Miami.”
Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League marked a significant shift, attracting other European stars to join the league.
In contrast, Messi opted for a stint at Inter Miami in the MLS, where he reunited with former teammates Suarez, Busquets, and Alba, under the ownership of David Beckham.
The Riyadh Season Cup offered a glimpse into the comparative quality of the leagues. Despite Messi’s contributions in a match against Al-Hilal, Inter Miami faced defeat. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr, without Ronaldo, triumphed convincingly over Miami, underscoring the disparity in squad strength.
While Aguirre’s statement may have stirred controversy, the preseason results shed light on the adjustments Inter Miami must make to fulfill their MLS title aspirations, suggesting they require significant squad improvements.
