Lionel Messi, the Argentine professional footballer who currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain, recently took an unofficial trip to Saudi Arabia with his family. While there, he met with members of the Saudi royal family and visited several historic sites. However, this trip caused controversy, as it was not sanctioned by his club and raised concerns about potential injury risks and a lack of proper rest for Messi ahead of important matches. Despite this, many Saudi fans were excited to see Messi in their country and expressed their admiration for him on social media.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has emerged as the world’s highest-paid athlete for the year 2022, according to Forbes. Ronaldo, who currently plays for Manchester United, earned an estimated $120 million from June 2021 to June 2022, largely due to his endorsements and business ventures. This marks the fourth time Ronaldo has been named the highest-paid athlete in the world, solidifying his status as one of the biggest names in sports.
