‘It may be painful’ – Aguero takes dig at Ronaldo

The Manchester City legend shared his thoughts about Lionel Messi and couldn’t help but make a cheeky comment about Ronaldo.

Aguero pointed out that Messi is still one of the best footballers in the world.
While praising his longtime friend, the former Argentina striker hinted at Messi’s unique status in football.

He mentioned that Messi’s involvement adds huge value to the Club World Cup.
Aguero believes Messi’s presence alone brings attention and excitement to major tournaments.

During an interview with talkSPORT, Aguero noted how Inter Miami struggled before Messi joined.
He emphasized that the MLS team hadn’t found much success until the Argentine superstar arrived.

Aguero said it’s a big moment for Inter Miami now that Messi is part of the team.
He explained that having Messi on board is a major boost for the club’s ambitions and reputation.

He added that, even if some fans don’t like to admit it, people want to watch Messi play.
Aguero lightly joked that Ronaldo’s supporters might not be happy with that truth.

He also said that Inter Miami managed to win a title thanks to Messi—something they had never done before.
Before Messi, the club hadn’t won any trophies, but things quickly changed after his arrival.

Messi helped Inter Miami win the MLS Cup in 2023, just days after joining.
His impact was felt almost immediately as he led the team to their first major win.

The club also grabbed the MLS Supporters’ Shield in 2024 with Messi leading the way.
That victory further proved his influence on the team and the league as a whole.

On the other hand, Ronaldo has only won one regional trophy with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
So far, his only silverware with the club has been the Arab Club Champions Cup, won in 2023.
