An AI system (artificial intelligence) tried to draw portraits of Ronaldo and Messi in 2042. The results made many people feel interesting.
On the evening of January 19, Messi and Ronaldo faced each other in a friendly match between PSG and Saudi All-Star XI. The two brightest stars in world football in the past 20 years are on the scorer list. This is reminiscent of the peak years, when Ronaldo and Messi competed fiercely in the colors of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
However, neither of them can win time. Ronaldo will turn 38 next month, while Messi is now 35. Age burdens start to appear in their run, although professionalism may help them maintain their careers for a few more years.
Fans will soon have to get used to a world of football without Ronaldo and Messi. However, AI (artificial intelligence) tried to draw portraits of these two stars at the 2042 World Cup as a coach. That was when Ronaldo was 56 years old, Messi 54.
In that fantasy photo, both of them have gray hair but still maintain a respectable look. This is entirely possible because Ronaldo and Messi are famous for taking great care of themselves. In 2019, Ronaldo also did not rule out the possibility of following his career as a coach in an interview.
After the friendly match on January 19, Messi and Ronaldo exchanged an emotional hug. Previously, both appeared in images posted between the 2022 World Cup.
Nearly 20 years of intense competition on the pitch, they are now like longtime friends. It may be a long time before world football sees a similar rivalry between two great players.
