梅西的真实想法：希望与C罗并肩作战

While Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have never played together, the Argentine great has previously noted he hopes to one day team up with CR7 rather than continuing to face off on opposing teams.

尽管莱昂内尔·梅西和克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多从未在同一支球队效力，这位阿根廷巨星曾表示，他希望有一天能与C罗并肩作战，而不是继续在对立的球队中交锋。

Lionel Messi has previously revealed aspirations to play on the same side as Cristiano Ronaldo, but it looks as though the two men are destined to continue as rivals.

梅西此前曾透露，希望与C罗并肩作战，但看起来两人注定要以对手的身份走完职业生涯。

The two footballing greats have shared the field on opposing sides for the best part of two decades, creating one of football's greatest rivalries in doing so as fans continue to debate who is the better all-round athlete. Messi, 37, kicked off his career with Barcelona in 2003, spending 18 years at the Nou Camp before switching allegiance to PSG on a free transfer in 2021.

在过去近二十年间，这两位足坛巨星在针锋相对的赛场上不断上演巅峰对决，缔造了足球史上最伟大的竞争关系之一。球迷们为之疯狂争论，试图分出谁才是更全面的足球运动员。现年37岁的梅西于2003年在巴塞罗那开启职业生涯，在诺坎普效力18年后，于2021年自由转会至巴黎圣日耳曼。

across his La Liga days, the Argentinian racked up ten league titles, 14 domestic cups, and four Champions Leagues - scoring 672 goals and creating 303 assists across 778 games. The forward also bagged seven Ballon d'Or accolades during his time with Barcelona, etching his name into the annals of history as one of the side's greatest ever players.
在西甲效力期间，这位阿根廷球员赢得了10次联赛冠军、14次国内杯赛冠军和4次欧冠冠军。在778场比赛中，他打入672球并贡献303次助攻。此外，梅西还在效力巴塞罗那期间获得了7座金球奖，将自己的名字永远镌刻在俱乐部历史上，成为队史上最伟大的球员之一。

However, Messi's awards with the Catalan side didn't come easy, waging war with Ronaldo and Real Madrid in a fierce rivalry between 2009 and 2018. And while Ronaldo's two league titles, four domestic cups and four Champions League trophies with Los Blancos may come across as lacklustre when compared to the achievements of Messi at Barcelona, the 39-year-old's tally of 450 goals and 131 assists in 438 games speaks for itself.

然而，梅西在巴塞罗那的辉煌并非轻易得来。2009年至2018年间，他和C罗领衔的皇马展开了旷日持久的巅峰对决。C罗在皇马期间获得的两次联赛冠军、四次国内杯赛冠军和四次欧冠冠军，虽然看起来稍显逊色，但这位39岁的球员在438场比赛中打入450球并贡献131次助攻的数据本身就是最好的证明。

Add to that five Ballon d'Ors and it's easy to see why so many fans struggle to pick out the better player between Messi and Ronaldo. And while the two men have enjoyed a healthy rivalry on the pitch for both club and country over the years, Messi once admitted that he would entertain the idea of teaming up with Ronaldo at league level.
再加上C罗的五座金球奖，不难理解为何这么多球迷在梅西和C罗之间难以定夺谁才是更优秀的球员。尽管多年来，这两人在俱乐部和国家队层面都展开了良性的竞争，但梅西也曾承认，对与C罗在联赛层面合作的想法持开放态度。

In a 2022 interview, Messi was asked about the prospect of playing alongside Ronaldo, to which he responded: "Yes, of course. I always like to play with the best, and he is one of them. I think it will be difficult for us to play in the same team, but obviously I would like to. I was lucky enough to play and participate with many very good players and, obviously, I would also like to do it with him."

在2022年的一次采访中，当被问及与C罗并肩作战的可能性时，梅西表示：“当然，我总是喜欢和最优秀的球员一起踢球，C罗就是其中之一。虽然可能性不大，但我非常愿意和他一起踢球。能与许多优秀的球员合作，我感到非常幸运。”

Messi teamed up with old Real Madrid foe Sergio Ramos during his stint at PSG, clinching two Ligue 1 titles and a Trophee des Champions before making the move to Inter Miami in 2023. Ronaldo, meanwhile, made the move to Juventus in 2018, spending three years with the Serie A outfit before returning to Manchester United - the club where he enjoyed a uncharted rise to superstardom.
在巴黎圣日耳曼效力期间，梅西与曾经效力过皇马的老对手塞尔吉奥·拉莫斯成为队友，共同帮助球队赢得了两次法甲冠军和一次法国超级杯冠军。2023年，梅西转会至国际迈阿密。另一方面，C罗于2018年加盟尤文图斯，三年后重返曼联。

The Portuguese legend made the move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr around the same time that Messi moved on to Inter Miami, and it seems as though the pair are highly unlikely to team up any time soon, given CR7 is under contract until June 2025, while Messi is on a deal in the States until next December.

梅西转会国际迈阿密的同时，C罗也几乎同时加盟了沙特阿拉伯的利雅得胜利。鉴于两人合同期限存在较大的差异，C罗的合同将持续到2025年6月，而梅西在美国的合同到明年12月才到期，短期内他们不太可能在同一支球队并肩作战。

Meanwhile, a mammoth wage bill could be another huge factor in preventing the two men from linking up under the same club. It was reported last year that Inter Miami were thought to have been offering Messi a base salary of between £40m and £46m, while Ronaldo himself is expected to be earning around £177m a year from Al-Nassr.

此外，两人天价的薪资也成为阻碍他们合作的一大难题。据报道，梅西在国际迈阿密的年薪约为4000万至4600万英镑，而C罗在利雅得胜利的年薪高达约1.77亿英镑。

With both men approaching the twilight years of their respective footballing careers, the time is certainly ticking for Messi and Ronaldo to have a chance of actually teaming up - and unfortunately, it could well be a case of the dream-team that football fans never get to see.

随着两人职业生涯的黄昏渐近，梅西和C罗真正合作的机会正随着时间的流逝而变得越来越渺茫。球迷们或许永远没有机会见证这对足坛传奇联手书写新的绿茵传奇。这实在令人惋惜！
