Human history is stained with the blood of those killed in the crossfire when different ideologies clash. Whether it’s religion or politics, the cost in human life caused by conflicts between Christians and Muslims or communists and capitalists, can be counted in millions.
And now it seems the first casualty has fallen, the first innocent life taken, in the great debate of the modern era – Messi or Ronaldo, who is the better footballer?
Sadly, this was the argument that sparked a violent brawl at a birthday party in India which left one man dead. Michael Chukwuma, 21, stabbed 34-year-old compatriot Obina Durumchukwu in a Mumbai suburb, Indian police said. “They were discussing football players.
One is a fan of Messi and the other was for Ronaldo,” a police inspector said. “During the conversation a quarrel has taken place. The deceased threw a glass into the face of the accused person. The glass broke and caused small injuries. “After that the accused took the broken glass and assaulted the deceased person who died due to heavy bleeding.
” Argentina international Messi, 28, is a ve-time winner of the Ballon d’Or and generally regarded as one of the greatest players ever to have graced the game.
Portugal captain Ronaldo, 31, has only won it three times, but he does have a lovely range of underwear to choose from. You can weigh up those facts yourselves and decide who is the better footballer. Just don’t stab each other while you do it.
