I heard about this. What is the basketball equivalent? I would like to understand
LeBron moving to LA lol, sort of. So Juventus is easily the best team in Italy, and a top 5ish team in eurpoe. Ronaldo's former team Real Madrid is arguably the best team in Europe after winning the champions league 3 times in row which has never happened in this era and probably won't happen again anytime soon.
Champions league is the top teams in each individual league in Europe coming together for a tournament. It is the biggest yearly trophy in sports, bigger than the super bowl.
Anyway, Ronaldo is older but still performs at an incredibly high level, most people thought he'd stay at Madrid another year or two so this is quite the shock.
Now Ronaldo did go to a team that isn't as good as Madrid but I guess he feels it is time to move on. Now we see if he can prove himself in Italy while still aging which has been showing the past couple seasons.
This is a big if but if he is able to win some trophies and maybe a champions league trophy with Juventus that will be huge for his legacy. Many people put him and Messi at 1 and 2, lots of 1's going to Messi but Ronaldo has proven to perform well in 2 different countries(England and Spain), and has won a major title with Portugal. If he's able to do the same in Italy I think it puts him above Messi, I already do anyway, cus messi isn't proven anywhere but Barca, and sort of his national team. And the big knock now especially after this world cup is he can't perform without the Barca system and some of the greats he's played with.
I can go on more but France and Belgium are about to start
