WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo trolled by fans with chants of 'Messi Messi' while collecting his runners-up medal

Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in tears after he lost the King's Cup final on Friday against Al-Hilal.

CR7 was trolled by the fans in the stadium after he failed to win the trophy. The fans were chanting 'Messi, Messi, Messi' in front of the footballer when he went to collect his runners-up medal. Every football fan is aware of the intense rivalry on the pitch and among the fans as well.

However, the Portugal captain achieved a new individual milestone in the 2023/24 season. He surpassed Abderrazak Hamdallah's previously held record of 34 in the 2018/19 season as he scored 35 in the current season surpassing the footballer. The footballer had an excellent individual season, but he missed out on the silverware for the second consecutive time.

Messi vs Ronaldo: The greatest rivalry in football

Over the years the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo has been the best tussle that world football has ever seen. For almost 15 years these two footballers have been at their very best with both of them breaking each other's records and winning individual trophies. During their prime era, no footballers have ever won a single individual accolade. 

They have both past their prime and have left Europe for almost two years now and have been playing in the Middle East and one in America in the Major League Soccer (MLS). The end for two of the most decorated footballers in the history of the game is near and the fans also expect them to win a major silverware before they finally hang up their boots.
