Cristiano Ronaldo has been criticized and called “shameless” following a post on his YouTube channel after Lionel Messi secured his second trophy with Inter Miami.
On Thursday, Messi scored twice in a 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew, helping Inter Miami win the MLS Supporters’ Shield for the first time in the club’s history.

This marked the second trophy for David Beckham’s club under Messi’s leadership, following their Leagues Cup triumph in 2023. Messi, who has scored 30 goals in 34 appearances for the team, now boasts an incredible 46 career trophies.
Despite Messi’s impressive achievement, Ronaldo has been heavily criticized for his actions following the match.
On his ‘UR’ YouTube channel, where he has 63 million subscribers, a video titled, ‘The craziest race of Cristiano Ronaldo on his CR7 racing car’ was shared.
It garnered up to 2 million views and saw a bizarre simulation of Ronaldo in an Formula One car, driving past a number of legendary goalscorers.
He overtakes the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Pele, Romario and then Messi to wind up on 1000 goals after recent milestone.
But while it was a creative idea, Ronaldo got a good grilling for the content – which featured the commentary “Bye Messi Bye!”.
One said: “Ronaldo is creating his own happiness at this point.” Another said: “Wait!!!!! Ronaldo uploaded this on the same day Lionel Messi achieved 46 career trophies? How insecure can he be.”
A third hit back: “This is actually insane levels of obsession….like if it’s a race it must be implying that Messi was at 841 goals before him and he overtook him which is obviously not the case.”
A fourth user said: “By now if you don’t know he’s obsessed with Messi then you don’t know him.”
A final person added: “CR7 posting this when Messi wins his 46th trophy! It’s just brutal self trolling!”
