Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence in football is massive, reaching even those with little interest in the sport. Kim Kardashian, a notable TV personality, recently admitted to watching Messi with heightened admiration, particularly since his move to Inter Miami, despite misidentification errors, which aren’t easily forgiven in the scrutinizing world of football fans.
Messi and Ronaldo’s impact extends globally, raising questions of them playing together on the same team, every time! and ultimately making them widely recognizable figures. Kim Kardashian’s recent mix-up, given her growing interest in football, sheds light on the challenges of accurately identifying these football icons.
Kim Kardashian’s confusing take on Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi
In a recent interview with GQ Sports, well-known social media personality and businesswoman Kim Kardashian appeared to have confused Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Fans have responded humorously to the comment, suggesting that the superstar may have unintentionally mixed up the two football icons.
Lionel Messi recently joined the Herons from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Kardashian, who was notably present at Messi’s Inter Miami debut against Cruz Azul on July 21 (resulting in a 2-1 victory for Inter Miami), made headlines in a recent interview where she professed her newfound passion for football.
“I’ve turned into this person, I’m sorry. My son is everything, Cristiano Ronaldo. We’re definitely Inter Miami fans.”
Certainly, the football community wasted no time in responding to this incident. On Instagram, some users promptly noted Kardashian’s potential error in the comments section. One fan humorously remarked:
“Cristiano Ronaldo and Inter Miami math ain’t matching.”
Another fan remarked rhetorically, “Does she think that Ronaldo plays for Inter Miami?”
Ronaldo opted to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr following a disagreement with Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag in January 2023. In the current season, he has displayed an impressive performance, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists in just 12 league appearances for the Riyadh-based team. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has also been in exceptional form since his summer move to Inter Miami. With these remarkable achievements from both players, the question arises: whom exactly was Kim Kardashian representing in her comments?
