I Swapped Messi & Ronaldo's Careers...

Messi and Ronaldo have been Eternal Rivals throughout their footballing careers but if you think about it both of them have had completely different career trajectories Messi spent most of his Prime at Barcelona meanwhile Ronaldo achieved success at four different clubs but what if we swap them at Birth meaning Ronaldo would start his career in La macia at Barcelona's Academy meanwhile Messi would be playing for sporting would either of them still achieve the same amount of success well today that is exactly what we're gonna find out we start things with Leo Messi at sporting in real life Ronaldo is actually a couple of years older than Messi so it's only fair that in this video Messi gets a two-year Head Start to Ronaldo here we have Leo Messi age 17 starting his career from the Sporting Academy 76 rated also did you notice his nationality is Portuguese I wasn't kidding when I said we swapped them at Birth it's now time to see if Messi can adapt to the Portuguese league and make a name for himself he's got to make the most of this Head Start Over Ronaldo but life in Portugal was not easy the Portuguese league was extremely physical and Messi who was just 5-7 was getting bullied around and kept getting injured Messi had to put extra hours in the training ground to get up the street to the physicality of the Portuguese league it took Messi almost six months to adapt to the Portuguese league but now he was ready or Messi's dribbling oh look at the pace and then the short messy stribling is crazy sporting quickly realized just how good Messi was and they instantly gave him the number 10 jersey in the second half of the Season Messi had basically become a leader of this team in terms of performance in Messi's first season as a professional footballer he had scored 11 goals in 10 games while also helping his team win the league and sporting at a ridiculously good run in the Champions League where Messi contributed they made it to the quarterfinals and all of this made Messi a very sought after player of course a certain Club Came Calling and so just like Ronaldo Messi ends up shining for Manchester United but I'm worried Messi struggled physically a lot in the Portuguese league will he be able to survive the Premier League meanwhile Barcelona decided that Ronaldo is ready to get promoted maybe it's that mentality and the physical advantage that he's got that gave him the go ahead but Ronaldo now starts his career at Barcelona can he adapt to the tikitaka playstyle and let's see how this Messy Ronaldo rivalry progresses with the two players having their career switched it did take Ronaldo some extra Rondo sessions to adapt to Barcelona's playstyle but he was pretty quick to adapt although breaking into that Barcelona First theme was not easy whenever Ronaldo got the opportunity he scored Ronaldo ends the season with poor goals but he only got to play five games that's the thing being in Barcelona breaking into that first team not easy at all meanwhile in the Premier League things weren't going quite well for Messi too the physicality of the Premier League was tough to adapt in and Messi I guess wasn't enjoying life in Manchester just three games this season he got an assist but that's about it one advantage for Messi this season was that a tough season like this improved him mentally a lot and if you look at his stats I think he soon should be able to adapt to the Premier League Messi even after two seasons is struggling to make a name for himself in the Premier League meanwhile Ronaldo hasn't really lit up La Liga maybe Messi was destined to be a Barcelona Legend and Ronaldo was destined to be at man united Madrid and all the other clubs and a few reverse the roads maybe they'll never succeed but I guess we're just gonna have to give them some more time and see how things progress it's a brand new season a new start for Leo Messi and Ronaldo Messi has now had one full year to adapt to the Premier League if this season he can't deliver and I think what the people say is true Messi is a Barcelona system player he's got to prove everyone wrong Manchester was not an easy City to adapt to but once Messi settled in it's now looking like we're seeing the real Messi in the Premier League Messi now definitely feels a lot more in tune with the Premier League as here he goes keeps going Leo Messi gets his goal come on this season something clicked see and he was starting a lot more games but what established Messi as a starter and a superstar at Manchester United was a special night at the Etihad Stadium the backing off Leo Messi the backing off Messi always pulled off his stunner incredible from Messi Messi again and you can't stop him you really can't oh messy that little shimmy there that little shimmy and he gets your hat trick against Manchester City Messi has arrived in the Premier League while Messi has taken his game to the next level Ronaldo struggles continue he can't seem to adapt to the left-wing position at Barca maybe it's because of the digidaka style of play the only way Ronaldo can fit into Barcelona's system is by becoming a striker and that's exactly what we've done that one position changed saved Ronaldo's Barcelona career he was now scoring goals for fun even in the El Clasico Ronaldo left his Mark Ronaldo our rocket in an El Clasico unbelievable we then get through the remainder of the season with both Ronaldo and Messi delivering for their respective clubs but the question is can any of them win the league winning is the Premier League or La Liga could be huge and could lead to some individual Awards Ronaldo had managed to lead Barcelona to a league title that is huge and he did this by scoring 14 goals in 19 games Ronaldo is still a part of the squad like coming off the bench occasionally and everything meanwhile Messi was out here starting every single game and leading Manchester United and so with a record-breaking season for Messi he ends up leading Manchester United to the Premier League title Messi also ends up winning the Premier League's Golden Boot so far it looks like Against All Odds Messi is having the better career swap but Ronaldo and Barcelona had reached the Champions League final if Ronaldo wins the Champions League before Messi oh that that's gonna be tough Ronaldo didn't start this Champions League final but he was indeed brought Off the Bench a chance to make an impact in a Big Moment Like This Will he take it or Ronaldo he's got the pace Ronaldo's got the pace Champions League final this could be huge Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in a Champions League final that is historic with that Ronaldo makes a huge statement that you put him in any club any scenario he'll still win he's just guided Barcelona to the Champions League scoring the winner it's also now time to reveal the Golden Boy Award nominations with Messi and Ronaldo as the Front Runners Messi was destined to win this after his incredible season with man united but this Champions League final result is sweet the borders and Ronaldo has won it over Messi and could this be the start of this iconic rivalry in this career swapped Edition next season both Ronaldo and Messi are going to be in the Champions League are they gonna Face Off season four and we have Ronaldo and Messi going head to head in the Champions League this is Barcelona and Ronaldo's group and this is Manchester United's group if they meet at some point the Rivalry might begin the group stages come to an end in Manchester United and Messi are through to the next round no way Barcelona and Ronaldo have taken a massive end they're out of the group stages well this could be a good thing for Leo Messi he's never won the Champions League yet this might be his chance I was really hoping we could see Messi versus Ronaldo just like how we saw hey in this scenario it just didn't happen with Ronaldo out of the Champions League this was Messi's chance of redemption every round of the Champions League he scored it now he's in the final this is it for Leo Messi Champions League final Ronaldo has already won it if Messi can win this maybe he's gonna win the Ballon d'Or this season after losing out on the Golden Boy award Messi needs this oh Messi going through Messi going through all by himself oh it's brilliant from Leo Messi this could be the moment that crowns him the best player in the world Messi looking for space he's found the space Oh it's a lovely finish it's done Messi completes his story he's gonna get that Champions League with man united and so Messi manages to achieve what Ronaldo did as well and if you look at the careers now even after swapping it's kind of Even Stevens Ronaldo has slowly established him as a starter and he's won the big trophies whereas Messi has become a leader at Manchester United and won the Champions League for them Ronaldo won the Golden Boy award and looks like Messi might win the Ballon d'Or but with the World Cup coming up next maybe that could be a factor to differentiate the two players the World Cup is here and this is Argentina's group and this is Portugal's but remember since we've swapped Messi and Ronaldo's career Messi will be playing for Portugal and Ronaldo is going to be playing for Argentina but this is unbelievable guys Ronaldo hasn't been picked by Argentina this is incredible is it his personality it's Advantage messy for now but the question is is Messi been picked for Portugal Messi indeed has been selected for the Portuguese national team for the World Cup this is a big deal I can't help but think that Messi in a Portuguese kit looks just wrong Messi's Portugal however manages to pop their group and they keep going head and every time this happens you know Ronaldo is crying in a corner somewhere although on an individual level Messi is yet to score at the World Cup he's got zero goals in the two games that he's played but there is no way Messi was gonna go goalless at the World Cup oh Messi's making the run through on goal Leo Messi for the World Cup there you go he gets his first ever World Cup goal for Portugal in the round of 16 wow but Messi's World Cup Journey ends as they face France in the quarterfinals they were a bit too much for him with the World Cup done both she and Ronaldo in a way have taken else and I think it's pretty clear swapping Messi and Ronaldo's nationality they're not gonna do any better for their countries Messi was destined to play for Argentina and Ronaldo for Portugal and nothing can change that but it's time for a new chapter for Leo Messi just like Ronaldo it's time for Messi to make the move to Real Madrid Messi has now joined Real Madrid with Messi now at Real Madrid Ronaldo and Barcelona this is the first time these two are gonna go head to head so far even after the World Cup it's looking very even between the two Messi is about 88 rated he's won the same trophies Ronaldo is actually a couple of overalls lower 86 but for the next three seasons we're gonna pick Ronaldo and Messi against each other and see who comes out on top that's gonna decide who wins The Challenge La Liga was perfect for Messi and he hit the ground running with Real Madrid Messi was so little in La Liga that the obvious choice was to play him down the middle and well he's now a center forward meanwhile at Barcelona Ronaldo had also established himself as a starter scoring some ridiculous goals both Messi and Ronaldo were delivering for their teams scoring a ton of goals both Messi and Ronaldo had scored the same amount of goals in La Liga both Messi and Ronaldo had led their teams to the exact same scenario Even Stevens between Barca and Real Madrid and this next El Clasico is gonna decide whether Messi's Madrid or Ronaldo sparsa wins the title and that's gonna be huge for this career swap Challenge and so it is time for Messi versus Ronaldo for the first time in this video I can't believe it's taken almost five seasons to see these two go face to face but nobody are because of the stakes being so hard to keep it bare I'm not going to control Barcelona Real Madrid any of the teams we're gonna watch Messi versus Ronaldo right in front of us Ronaldo had an early attempt to start things off but it was a corner from which Madrid took the lead towards the end of this game Messi almost gets the winning goal ultimately the game ends with knee the Ronaldo or Messi making their mark on this even though Messi's Madrid won the best way to let Messi and Ronaldo battle it out in these next few seasons is to just observe from far away and see who gets the more Golds assists trophies battle on doors and everything we make our way to the end of the season and I'm very good to see who's got the better stats oh my Messi's Real Madrid ended up winning La Liga now it could be because he had the better teammates I'm not sure but fair enough they also won the Supercar but Gold's wise Cristiano Ronaldo trumped Messi by two goals but both that they have had ridiculous Seasons but so far it looks like Messi's winning no way though Ronaldo missed the champions league has started for Barcelona wow kind of realistic Messi's dominating domestically Ronaldo missed the Champions League even though we're five seasons in I feel like I have no idea who's winning this right now let's get through another season and see who's performed better heading into the sixth season of this colossal battle we've got Messi and Ronaldo now now in their primes look at Ronaldo 93 dated at Barcelona as a striker Messi now A Center forward but 94 overalls according to FIFA ratings wise Messi's winning but Ronaldo won his second champions league for Barca that's got to mean something but let's see who's the first one of these to win the Ballon d'Or before we begin the race towards the Ballon though I'd really appreciate if you could spare the second And subscribe to the channel it really helps me out the nominees for the Ballon d'Or are out both Ronaldo and Messi are contenders but there could only be one winner and it's no messy messy when the Ballon d'Or before Ronaldo he's a bit older so maybe it makes sense in real life Ronaldo wanted before him but fair enough a 95 rated Messi now has just won the Ballon d'Or we're getting through the season now and it's gonna be intriguing to see how Ronaldo responds whether he'll score the goals whether he'll win more Champions Leagues let's see and would you look at that Ronaldo response by winning La Liga this is going back and forth oh that's the Spanish cup is well for Ronaldo and the UEFA super cup Ronaldo's taking all the trophies oh no Messi's Madrid have bottled the Champions League no that is that is a real big bummer for Leo Messi the stats don't lie let's see what they say and Ronaldo has outscored Messi by a fair bit he couldn't win the Golden Boot but 19 goals for Ronaldo he's done the job once again it's super even Messi's just won the Ballon d'Or yet Ronaldo esteem is outperformed him let's see what happens in one more season this is going to be Ronaldo's last chance to win the Ballon d'Or and Messi's last chance to win the Champions League with Madrid overall wise I'm surprised how Ronaldo isn't getting up to Messi's overall maybe it's that one year Gap that Messi has made the complete news out of but off we go to the Ballon d'Or ceremony no way Messi's back Bad season means he did not even get nominated for the bad on door bottling in the Champions League final has proven to being a very costly is this Ronaldo's chance this could be his moment yes Cristiano Ronaldo gets his Ballon d'Or as well this is incredible we're making our way to the end of the season to see if Messi can get his Redemption by winning the Champions League in the final season Messi's team gets revenge and end up winning La Liga where she managed to beat his arch rival in the super Cup Final too but this is it Champions League that's what we need to see if Messi can win with Real Madrid 16 points they threw into the round of 16 where they just about knocked down Leipzig oh my God Messi and Ronaldo faced off in the Champions League quarterfinals and Messi came through that's big Madrid threw again Spurs as well they've made the Champions League final but no Real Madrid and Messi end up bottling it after reaching the final for the second time wow honest because if Messi bottling two Champions Leagues I'm leaning towards Ronaldo doing the better job in this video but it's still very even both players won one Ballon d'Or let me know in the comments did Ronaldo or Messi Fair better in this career swap if you enjoyed this video click here to watch me sign one amazing player from every Premier
