According to Saudi journalist Ahmed Aljadi, Saudi United team Riyadh victory is planned to be rebuilt this summer, and the team's legendary superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will also choose to leave the team. It is reported that Ronaldo may choose to join Palmeiras for a short time. Palmeiras was assigned to Group A in the Club World Cup, and in this group is also Miami International where Messi is located. This means that if Ronaldo joins Palmeiras, we will witness the scene of Messi competing with Ronaldo again.

Royce's original contract is about to expire on June 30 this year, and Riyadh's victory failed to qualify for the Club World Cup, which undoubtedly became a key factor for Ronaldo to consider leaving the team. Although the club has proposed a contract renewal plan with an annual salary of 183 million euros, some of the requirements made by Ronaldo's team are regarded as exceeding the reasonable scope by the management. The differences between the two sides on competitive concepts gradually became public, which eventually led to the breakdown of the contract renewal negotiations.

It is worth noting that Ronaldo's current physical condition is still at its peak. Through WHOOP 5.0 device testing, he is only 28.9 years old at the age of 40. This "age-reversing" state makes him still eager to prove himself in top events, and the Club World Cup is undoubtedly the best stage.

Messi and Ronaldo, these two legendary superstars in the world, have a classic showdown and are a brilliant chapter in football history. Over the years, their competition on the European arena has brought countless exciting moments to the fans and made the "Metro duel" the most topical focus in the football world. As the two's careers enter the late stages, such a showdown becomes more and more precious.

Once Ronaldo joins Palmeiras, the Club World Cup will surely become the focus of global fans' attention. This possible "Metro Ronaldo showdown" is not only a personal contest between the two stars, but also a collision of two football styles and two football philosophy. For fans, Messi and Ronaldo's competition in the same game has always been an eternal topic. In the 36 matchups of their careers, Ronaldo has a slight advantage with 16 wins, 8 draws and 12 losses. The Saudi League briefly attracted top stars through huge investments, but it still lacked in competitive achievements and sustainable development. No matter where they are in the end, Ronaldo and Messi's "Twin Times" have long become an irrepeatable chapter in football history. Every time they meet in the frame, they are the purest tribute to the sport.
