Why Messi and Ronaldo Never Teamed Up

Picture this: It's the last minute of a huge championship game. Messi passes the

ball perfectly through the defense. Ronaldo runs past two players and kicks it hard into

the goal. They hug each other, the crowd goes wild. This almost happened in real life,

not just once but five different times. Wanna know why it didn't? One choice made

in a hotel room in 2013 changed everything. For 15 years, we've watched the

biggest rivalry in sports, Ronaldo versus Messi, Real Madrid versus Barcelona.

But here's the crazy part: these two weren't meant to be rivals. They almost became

teammates. If that happened, modern football would look totally different.
