Cristiano Ronaldo's response to Lionel Messi taunt during MrBeast video has got fans talking

Cristiano Ronaldo's response to Lionel Messi taunt during MrBeast video has got fans talking

Cristiano Ronaldo was on the receiving end of a Lionel Messi taunt in a recent video filmed with MrBeast.

Cristiano Ronaldo got fans talking with his response to being taunted about Lionel Messi in a video with MrBeast.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has partnered up with the most-subscribed YouTuber in the world for a number of videos across both of their channels.

The latest was posted on Ronaldo's 'UR - Cristiano', where the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend has 72 million subscribers. The video, titled 'How Many goalkeepers Does It Take to Stop Ronaldo?' racked up more than a million views within hours of it going up.

As expected, Ronaldo took penalties against a total of four goalkeepers in the net at Al Nassr's Al Awwal Park stadium. MrBeast was in between the sticks by himself at one point before friends of his joined him in attempting to prevent the Portuguese superstar from scoring.

But jibes about Messi, eight-time Ballon d'Or winner and long-time rival of Ronaldo's, were used to try and get in the 39-year-old's head before he stepped up for a final effort.

"Nolan says he doesn't like you, he thinks you're not the GOAT," MrBeast told Ronaldo.

"Nolan's the guy on the end over there, he thinks Messi's better! He calls it soccer and he said Messi's the GOAT.

Ronaldo saw the funny side and replied, "Who said Messi's better than me?" - before laughing hysterically as the three men pointed at Nolan on the end.

And naturally, the remark about Messi led to plenty of conversation online.

One wrote: "How obsessed is this guy mannn."

Another said: "This guy always dey find attention but the goat is just a chill guy."

A third added: "All my life, I have never heard Messi talk comparison about Cristiano Ronaldo."

A fourth commented: "Messi lives rent free in his mind."

A final user joked: "Bro is still thinking about Messi even after he started a new YouTube career."

In Ronaldo's defence, he said the line in good spirits and wasn't exactly irritated by the teasing unlike in previous scenarios. However, it did lead to him picking his corner for his final penalty, smashing the ball on the same side as Nolan with incredible power and precision.

The American cowered into a shell and admitted afterwards that he "thought he was going to die".

Ronaldo is now enjoying a winter break before returning to action with Al Nassr in a Saudi Pro League clash with Al Akhdoud on 9 January.
