Did Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo give the world of football everything they could? Their careers are declining, they are not what they were two or three years ago.According to Nicolas Anelka, a former French striker, Messi and Ronaldo are pretty much done. And they lasted a long time…”Such things happen to players who want to prolong their playing life. “I think that there won’t be any more players like that who will dominate world football so much. They’ve been above everyone for fifteen years; it’s logical to see them slowing down. It’s normal.”, said Anelka.##EDITORS_CHOICE##He admitted that he realized when he was 32 that he could no longer play at the top level, and then he went to China.“Both of them should have been smarter. They should have thought about taking on a less complicated challenge because you have to make the right decisions to finish on top.”Both Ronaldo and Messi finished this season in the Champions League in the round of 16, which shows that they are no longer as dominant as they used to be.”I was more surprised by Messi than Ronaldo. I thought that Messi was going to stroll in the French championship and that Ronaldo was going to struggle a little more because the Premier League, for me, is a more difficult championship in terms of the impact on and around the pitch.”, said Anelka.CR 807!
