“I Won the World Cup, He Didn’t”- Former Iconic French Defender Trolls Cristiano Ronaldo After Facing Confusing Fan Inquest

Fan debates give us perspectives. They provide information. And often some old-school bantering. Since Lionel Messi won the soccer World Cup, netizens have debated who the GOAT is. Either Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. But there is no end to those debates. Recently, the host of ESPN FC, Dan Thomas, explained how Ronaldo fans were angry with the criticism subjected towards their superstar.

The host mentioned on Twitter, “Ronaldo fans have been extra angry at us this week Frank had the ultimate response to them.” After commenting on the situation, he posted a video of former World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf burning the Ronaldo fanboys with an epic response. 

Former World Cup winners troll Cristiano Ronaldo fans

The former iconic defender won the World Cup with France in 1998. Moreover, he also went on to win the Euros in 2000. With two major international titles under his belt, he commented, “Because I am stupid, I can’t stop by answering people. And I say well, you know you’re right. I’ve never been at this level. I won the World Cup, he didn’t.” Hence, it became viral on Twitter as fans reacted to the comments made by Leboeuf. By digging into the context, fans can understand the various pointers given by Leboeuf. However, Ronaldo’s career is far from over! 

No matter what soccer players have achieved in their careers, winning the World Cup is a dream for everyone. It is arguably the top trophy in the world of sports because of the fan following and the popularity of the sport. Therefore, in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the ever-going GOAT debate probably concluded after Messi’s victory with Argentina. However, fans will follow their players irrespective of any World Cup victories.

Even though Leboeuf won the World Cup, he explained how he would never reach the level of Ronaldo. To be completely fair, he has a point. CR7 dominated the game like no one else, and who knows, he can win a World Cup after all. 

Eyeing the 2026 World Cup

With the 2026 World Cup heading to the USA, Ronaldo would be 41. Despite the age factor, history shows that soccer players do not retire even if they reach their 40s. Take former MLS player Zlatan Ibrahimovic for example. He recently received a call-up back into the Sweden national team setup at 41. Considering Ronaldo’s fitness levels, he could play until 45. Thus, the World Cup dream probably is not over for Ronaldo. 

Even now, he scores goals. He remains the focal point of the Portuguese attack and recently scored four goals in two matches in the Euro Qualifiers. Never sleep on CR7. His mentality is inspiring. Therefore, do you think he will win the 2026 World Cup?
