Ronaldo congratulates Messi for winning World Cup

Lionel Messi received congratulations from Brazilian star, Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima after Argentina defeated France on Sunday in the World Cup final in Qatar.

Messi played a phenomenal role in a six-goal thriller that ended a 3-3 draw after extra time as French forward Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick. Argentina won 4-2 on a penalty shoot-out to claim the trophy.

In his congratulatory message on Twitter, Ronaldo, the star of Brazil’s victory at the 2002 World Cup, described the Argentine skipper as a ‘genius.’

“Football of this type dispels any rivalry. I saw many Brazilians, and people from all over the world, cheering on Messi in this electrifying final,” Ronaldo wrote on Twitter.

“A farewell worthy of the genius who, far beyond being a World Cup star, led an era. Congratulations, Messi!.”
