Cristiano Ronaldo & Messi’s Sons’ Fake Goal Records Fool Fans?

Fans are not quite ready to let go as the fabled football rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi fades. The pair has been the top two in the men’s game for twenty years; supporters are so eager for their rivalry to last that they are seeking to have their sons fight. Reports Cristiano Junior had given his father the ideal birthday present with 10 goals in a 10-9 victory for Al Nassr’s under-15s were all over social media.

This was claimed to follow from an incredible seven-goal haul in a 7-0 victory over Al Hilal. A few days later, Thiago Messi improved even more, supposedly hitting the back of the net 11 times in Inter Miami’s U13s’ 12-0 triumph at Atlanta. quite amazing.

One small error is that it is entirely phoney; none of this occurred. That did not stop social media, or other major sources worldwide, from covering the narrative and announcing a new rivalry. Fans relied on occasional visuals showing the minutes the goals were scored in, hence there was no footage of any of the action recorded. This is where it all fell apart.

Underage bouts run less than ninety minutes. U13 games in the United States consist of two 35-minute halves, hence how could Messi have scored three goals from the 76th minute on forward? A good effort, but let’s keep our eye on the facts.
