It is the eternal dilemma: Cristiano or Messi? Messi or Cristiano? A dilemma that crosses borders and the beautiful game itself. And that reached the heart of the Super Bowl itself, in the middle of the final between Tom Brady’s Buccaneers and Mahomes’ Chiefs. Tom Brady and … Leo Messi won the Super Bowl.

To the absolute and general indignation of all the fans of Cristiano.
The Super Bowl took part and got wet … by Messi.
