From 2008 to 2018, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar became three of the biggest names in football and helped define an entire generation. Cristiano Ronaldo was already a superstar at Manchester United in 2008. He won the Premier League and Champions League and received his first Ballon d’Or. In 2009, he moved to Real Madrid, where he became one of the greatest goalscorers in football history. During his nine years in Madrid, Ronaldo won four Champions League titles, two La Liga titles and four more Ballon d’Or awards. In 2016, he also helped Portugal win their first European Championship. In 2018, after another Champions League victory, he left Real Madrid and joined Juventus. Lionel Messi was building his own legacy at Barcelona. In 2009, he helped Barcelona win La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League in the same season. That year, Messi won his first Ballon d’Or. He continued to dominate Spanish and European football, winning numerous league titles, Copa del Rey trophies and Champions League titles. In 2012, he scored an incredible 91 goals in a calendar year. With Argentina, Messi reached the 2014 World Cup final and won the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player. Neymar’s rise was different. In 2008, he was still a young talent at Santos in Brazil. He quickly became one of the most exciting players in the world, famous for his dribbling, creativity and spectacular goals. In 2013, Neymar joined Barcelona and formed the legendary attacking trio MSN with Messi and Luis Suárez. In 2015, Barcelona won the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey, completing another historic treble. Neymar also became a key player for Brazil and won Olympic gold in 2016. In 2017, Neymar made a record-breaking move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain. He became the main star of the French club and continued producing goals and assists. At the 2018 World Cup, he represented Brazil as one of the tournament’s biggest stars. Between 2008 and 2018, Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar followed different paths, but all three changed modern football. Ronaldo became a record-breaking goalscorer, Messi became Barcelona’s legendary playmaker and Neymar became one of the most spectacular players of his generation. Together, they created one of the most memorable eras in football history. #neymar #ronaldo #messi #2017 - @timuz501typ
