Chicharito Hernández found the perfect metaphor 🦇
In a video, the Mexican forward compared Lionel Messi to Superman and Cristiano Ronaldo to Batman: “Superman was born with powers, Batman wasn’t. Batman had to build himself through discipline, bravery, and courage until he became extraordinary”.
For Chicharito, watching Messi play is witnessing something that defies the laws of physics, a talent that simply IS. But Cristiano represents another kind of epic: that of someone who made himself through hard work. “Millions of us identify with Cristiano, because many of us weren’t born the best”, the Mexican concluded, making it clear why this comparison struck a chord that goes far beyond soccer 🐐⚽
