Ronaldo’s biggest mistake was choosing Al Nassr instead of a league like MLS. If he’d taken Messi’s route, he would have reached 1,000 goals already. Look at the defending in Messi’s brace against Atlanta United. Some of those goals were far too easy. It genuinely feels like Messi has a much easier environment to chase that milestone, while Ronaldo chose a tougher path in Saudi Arabia. The difference is frustrating.
