Endrick ignites disappointed fan reactions after snubbing Lionel Messi

In a recent interview with ESPN, Brazilian teenager Endrick was tasked to meticulously craft his ultimate dream soccer player. His picks included Cristiano Ronaldo‘s strength, Vinicius Jr.’s mesmerizing dribbling, and Luka Modric’s master intelligence. Also, Kylian Mbappe’s scorching pace, Jude Bellingham’s tireless engine, Toni Kroos’s pinpoint passing, and even Endrick’s lethal finishing find a place in this fantasy draft.

But the elephant in the room was the absence of the 8x-Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi. The social media, as it often does, exploded with reactions, as the jokes, memes, and accusations flew faster than Mbappe on a counter-attack.

“Maybe it’s in his contract to not talk about Messi,” one fan stated, suggesting an idea of a conspiracy worthy of a Netflix documentary. Fans didn’t lose the ironic touch as they pointed out the dominance of Real Madrid stars in Endrick’s selection. One fan aligned with the reaction and teased, “Bro just picked the whole Real Madrid team!” Another fan built up on the speculated contractual obligations set by Real Madrid in the contract and stated, “Florentino made sure he said those players.”

But the Lionel Messi fanatics were not about to let their idol be slighted. “Messi fits perfectly in every single category. That’s how great Messi is,” a fan stated while asserting Messi’s unparalleled dominance. “He did everything to not say Messi so he doesn’t hurt Ronaldo’s feelings,” another quipped, injecting a playful jab at the long-standing debate. CR7 fans also jumped in to align with Endrick, and stated, “He knows the GOAT!” Another fan claimed, “He needs 3 Cristiano’s for his team to work.”
