There is suddenly a lot of media attention for this competition since Ronaldo has come to play here. Still, they will be very disappointed that Messi did not go here too. Would there ultimately have been a demonstrable reason why Messi chose not to continue his career in Qatar? Because money is of course good. I also cannot imagine that Ronaldo will continue to live here if he is no longer active as a player in Qatar. He still has great value for his team in Qatar, but he will also feel itchy when he sees the European Cl on TV.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are two separate countries and Ronaldo plays in Saudi Arabia. Al-Hilal, who made a transfer offer to Messi, is also in Saudi Arabia. I think Messi went to MLS because of the World Cup that the United States, Mexico and Canada will jointly organize in 2026. Football is not just football. We cannot ignore advertising and sponsorship agreements. Also, we cannot blame the players for not acting emotionally. First of all, it was publicly expected that Messi would return to Barcelona, but he chose MLS because he acted like a pro. I must say, I really wish the two of them could continue to play in the same league in Saudi Arabia or the USA.
