Staunch Arsenal and Cristiano Ronaldo’s fan Piers Morgan has mocked Lionel Messi after it emerged that the Argentina World Cup winner has decided to join US Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami.
Messi confirmed on Wednesday that he was moving to the USA to continue his footballing career with Inter Miami.
The 35-year-old played his last game for Paris Saint-Germain last Sunday.
Speaking on the developments, Morgan compared Messi’s move to Inter Miami to Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr.
Morgan tweeted, “So, Messi quits elite football at 35, three years earlier than Ronaldo. Presumably, we’ll now read/hear all the same scathing, mocking pieces by sportswriters/pundits that they wrote/said about Cristiano – right? (Spoiler alert: we won’t.).”
Recall that Ronaldo was officially unveiled as an Al-Nassr player in January.
