Former Manchester United star, Patrice Evra, has made a bold prediction that could send football fans into a frenzy — a World Cup final showdown between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speaking in an interview with Stake.com, Evra likened the potential clash to a blockbuster Marvel finale, saying the whole world would pause to witness the two legends in what might be their final dance on football’s biggest stage.

“That would be like the last Marvel movie. Everyone would stop to watch,” Evra said.
“Two legends, one last dance — everyone would watch.”

Messi, who inspired Argentina to World Cup glory in 2022, remains at the heart of his national team, while Ronaldo, despite his age, is still pushing to finally lead Portugal to a World Cup final.

Both superstars now play outside Europe — Messi at Inter Miami in the MLS and Ronaldo at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia — but their influence and competitive fire remain unmatched.

With the next World Cup kicking off next summer, many fans see it as the last opportunity to watch Messi and Ronaldo on football’s grandest stage.

A final between Argentina and Portugal would not only decide the world champion but also settle the never-ending debate of who truly is the greatest of all time.
