Ronaldo spoke about the huge gap between Spain and Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final, where even with Lionel Messi on the field, the South Americans couldn't do anything. Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 World Cup final to claim the second title in its history. Few imagined a final in which the Europeans would dominate from start to finish, but Ronaldo Nazario was one of the few to correctly call the outcome of the game. The Brazilian legend had predicted during one of his TikTok livestreams that Spain would beat Argentina “easily,” and while the final scoreline didn’t reflect a blowout, he insists the gap on the field told a different story. With the result now in the books, Ronaldo revisited Spain’s win, standing by his original assessment of the match. “It was a historic day for the sport because Spain dominated from start to finish, just like I expected. The goals didn’t come for Spain, and they didn’t win by the margin I expected and that they deserved, but it was complete control throughout the entire match. It was a beatdown,” Ronaldo said on his TikTok account. The Brazilian didn’t stop there, pointing to the disparity in quality he saw between the two finalists, even accounting for Argentina’s biggest individual weapon, Lionel Messi.

Argentina fought with a lot of heart, which was their strength throughout the whole tournament. A talented player can win you a match, but you need the strength of a team to win a World Cup, like Spain did. Playing as a collective, everyone matters,” he added. Ronaldo’s blunt take on Argentina’s style Ronaldo didn’t hold back when describing how Argentina played across the entire World Cup, drawing a sharp contrast with Spain‘s approach. “They never played good football, they only fought with a lot of heart, they didn’t play beautifully,” he explained. On the other hand, the legend praised Spain’s style of play, noting that it has surpassed Brazil’s Jogo Bonito. “Spain has a footballing DNA, a beautiful style of play. Brazil’s Joga Bonito has been surpassed, and the way Spain plays now is the best there is,” Ronaldo continued. Ronaldo backs Rodri for the Ballon d’Or The Brazilian also made his case for who should take home this year’s Ballon d’Or, pointing to Rodri as the clear favorite. Spain’s captain was the clear leader of the 2026 World Cup-winning side, and he’s now the only active central midfielder to have won the Ballon d’Or, the World Cup and the European Championship while being named the best player of both tournaments. “He’s the number one candidate to win the Ballon d’Or. He was Spain’s standout player at this World Cup, and that carries a lot of weight when it comes to winning the Ballon d’Or. He can win it again,” Ronaldo said about Rodri.
By punch-packing a ticket to his third career World Cup final, Lionel Messi is poised to establish an unprecedented landmark in the history of international soccer. Lionel Messi has once again defied Father Time, delivering a masterclass against England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinals. By matching up against Spain next Sunday, the legendary Argentine playmaker is poised to participate in his third career World Cup final, positioning himself to achieve a milestone unmatched in the history of the tournament. In 2014, then operating at the absolute peak of his athletic prime, Messi single-handedly carried Argentina to the final in Brazil. However, his dreams of hoisting the famous trophy were brutally shattered in extra time by a late, heartbreaking match-winner from Germany’s Mario Gotze. At 35 years old, in what many assumed would be his last World Cup at Qatar 2022, the maestro rewrote the script by capturing the one major trophy that had eluded him in a spectacular penalty shootout victory over France. Now in 2026, following three stellar seasons with MLS side Inter Miami, Messi has stunned the global soccer landscape yet again, racking up eight goals and four assists over seven matches to guide Argentina back to the grandest stage. With Sunday’s highly anticipated showdown against Spain, Messi is on track to become the first player in soccer history to start three separate World Cup finals. Across 23 editions of the tournament, while a handful of iconic names have reached three finals, none have done so as a member of the starting eleven each time while remaining the undisputed focal point of their national team. Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina celebrates with teammates after the 2-1 win against England. Furthermore, Messi will become only the second player in history to step onto the pitch in three different finals. The only other man to achieve this is legendary Brazilian right back Cafu, who entered the 1994 final as a 21st-minute substitute for an injured Jorginho, before starting in both the 1998 final against France and the 2002 triumph over Germany. The exclusive club of three-time World Cup finalists Competing in a World Cup is the ultimate dream for any elite player, but stepping onto the pitch in three separate finals represents an almost mythic achievement. While Cafu and Messi stand alone at the pinnacle of this statistical mountain, a select group of legendary figures have historically come agonizingly close to joining them. Pele, famously the only player to win three World Cups, missed out on playing in the 1962 final due to a severe muscle injury sustained in the group stage. Similarly, Ronaldo Nazario was an unused squad member for Brazil in 1994, German legend Lothar Matthaus remained on the bench as an inexperienced 21-year-old in 1982, and his countryman Pierre Littbarski went unused during Germany’s 1986 final appearance against Argentina.
Speaking to MARCA, former Real Madrid and France midfielder Claude Makelele has praised Kylian Mbappe, tipping him for the Ballon d’Or and calling him the closest thing in modern football to Ronaldo...
Kylian Mbappe shared his take on the historic World Cup scoring record race, stating "I am convinced that Lionel Messi is going to score more goals." Kylian Mbappe has once again proven to be France’s driving force at the World Cup, surpassing Miroslav Klose’s all-time goalscoring record in the competition and leaving only Lionel Messi ahead of him. Still very much in the hunt, the French captain made a candid admission after his latest performance: “I am convinced that Leo is going to score more goals.“ After a slick combination from a corner kick, Mbappe opened the scoring for France in the Round of 32 against Sweden before completing his brace in the 74th minute to seal a 3-0 victory. The two goals not only drew him level with Messi in the Golden Boot race at six goals apiece, but pushed him past Klose’s historic mark of 16, bringing his all-time World Cup tally to 18, one behind the Argentine’s 19. In a post-match statement reported by L’Equipe, Mbappé was asked whether the all-time scoring record was on his mind “No, no, no. The objective is to go as far as possible with the team and to be back here on July 19th,” he said, referencing a potential return to MetLife Stadium for the final. “Obviously, the more goals I score, the higher I’ll climb in the standings.“ Mbappé then turned his attention to his former PSG teammate when asked who he thought would ultimately own the record: “I am convinced that Leo (Messi) is going to score more goals, but I don’t pay attention to that. I’m focusing more on our opponents and the rest of the competition. I want to make history for my country and make the people proud.“ Kylian Mbappe #10 of France reacts.

Beyond his goal contributions, he has been handed the captain’s armband and is expected to set the tone for a team with championship ambitions. When asked if he feels more liberated in this role, Mbappe was characteristically direct: “I’ve already said that I am fully aware of what is at stake and what I am experiencing. We prepared for this so we could arrive with maximum chemistry; we have perfect communication within the squad, with the guys, so we know exactly what we need to do. The approach to these matches is different from the group stage, there is more pressure. You just have to manage the stress and the emotions of knowing that you could be going home. But this squad is ready.“
Paraguay eliminated Germany following a thrilling penalty shootout, markin Germany's first World Cup exit to a South American side since Ronaldo's Brazil in 2002. Paraguay has written a historic new chapter in World Cup lore, stunning Germany in a dramatic penalty shootout to advance to the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. The result is equally monumental for the European giants, who suffered their first knockout-stage exit at the hands of a South American opponent since facing Ronaldo Nazario’s legendary Brazil squad 24 years ago. Julio Enciso opened the scoring for Paraguay in the 43rd minute, filtering into the box to bury a sharp header off a well-placed cross from Matias Galarza. While Kai Havertz later answered with a header of his own to equalize for Germany, Die Mannschaft couldn’t find a regulation winner, ultimately falling in the ensuing shootout to seal their elimination. The loss goes down as one of Germany‘s most bitter World Cup disappointments, marking their first elimination by a South American nation in over two decades. The last time the Germans were sent packing by a CONMEBOL team was the 2002 World Cup final in Yokohama, where Ronaldo Nazario scooped up the Golden Boot by scoring both goals in Brazil‘s 2-0 triumph. Since that 2002 final, Germany’s World Cup exits had all come from European foes, falling in the semifinals to Italy in 2006 and Spain in 2010 before lifting the trophy against Argentina in 2014. While Die Mannschaft did endure humiliating, early first-round departures in both 2018 and 2022, those failures notoriously occurred during the group stage rather than the win-or-go-home knockout rounds. Ronaldo of Brazil celebrates after scoring against Germany. In fact, Germany’s modern knockout record against South American opposition had been nearly flawless prior to Monday’s collapse. Before that 2002 defeat to Brazil, their last knockout-stage loss to a CONMEBOL nation also occurred on the grandest stage, the 1986 World Cup final, when they fell to Diego Maradona’s iconic Argentina squad. South American teams prove to be Germany’s Kryptonite in 2026 Despite the lack of high-quality chances Paraguay generated throughout the match, Germany simply could not dismantle the defensive wall the South American side constructed. For a European powerhouse that spent years dominating the international landscape, CONMEBOL opponents have officially become a massive headache for Die Mannschaft this summer. After opening the tournament with a 7-1 thrashing of Curacao and a 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast, Germany ran into a buzzsaw against Ecuador, dropping a 2-1 decision that marked their first-ever group-stage loss to a South American team. Now, by crashing out against Paraguay, the Germans have also seen a legendary streak snapped: since the modern Round of 16 format was introduced in 1986, Germany had never lost its opening match of the knockout stage.
