Even at 38 years old, Ronaldo remains a dominant force in the sports world, currently showcasing his prowess with the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr after a storied career with Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Notably, this revelation adds another layer of interest due to the long-standing rivalry between Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Despite the intense competition between the two football icons spanning over a decade, Ronaldo emerged triumphant in the search rankings. Their enduring impact on the sport has left an indelible mark on football for close to 15 years.

The narrative takes an intriguing turn with Virat Kohli’s openly declared admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi. Kohli, the star of Indian cricket, has consistently expressed profound respect for the Portuguese football maestro in various interviews. In a noteworthy Instagram post, Kohli conveyed, “No trophy or any title can take anything away from what you’ve done in this sport and for sports fans around the world.”

This message was a tribute to Ronaldo following his team’s exit from the FIFA World Cup 2022, underscoring the mutual respect shared between these two sporting icons from different disciplines.

As Google’s retrospective unveils the most searched figures, it serves as a testament to the enduring global impact of sports personalities like Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo, whose influence transcends their respective games.
