Most Rivalries in Football are due to Racism

Pele vs Maradona, Luis Suarez vs PatriceEvra, John Terry vs Wayne Bridge. All of these are some of the rivalries that exist in football and extend outside of the pitch.

Some of those rivalries are due to racial claims and abuse between certain players while others originated after a player had an affair with the wife of his own teammate, it’s something that certainly goes beyond just playing football.

However, there is a rivalry in the world of football that is being battled and contended between 2 of the best players in the world and maybe even in the history of the sport.

The former Real Madrid player, Michael Laudrup stated that C.Ronaldo and Lionel Messi need each other in order to continue performing at their best.

‘’I think they need each other. If one scores a hat-trick, the other tries to beat that. They are two of the best, not just of this era, in 30 years we’ll be talking about them and the debate will be whether Messi, Cristiano, Maradona or Pele is the greatest of all time’’

When asked which of them he would rather have in his team, the Danish coach replied: ‘’both would have to be in it, as they’ve clearly been the best two over the past four or five years’’
