Cristiano Ronaldo: 'His career ends with Piers Morgan whilst Lionel Messi won the World Cup', says Jamie Carragher

The stark differences in how Messi andRonaldo end their careers were highlighted by Jamie Carragher.

Al Nassr, a Saudi Arabian club, announced on Friday that they had signedRonaldo to a two year contract.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, the former Manchester United player said he felt betrayed by the club and did not respect their Dutch manager.

Carragher compared the career of the legendary Portuguese player to that of Messi, who recently won the World Cup.

It is a sad end for him.

Gary Neville, a former captain of Manchester United, said that the manner ofRonaldo's exit was sad yet inevitable as he moved to Al Nassr.

We're going to see a lot less of him. It tells us something. How serious is Saudi Arabia about football? They're not leaving. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars on a single player. The league is trying to be strengthened.

I felt as though he would want to stay in one of the big leagues in Europe to score more goals. It's possible to find a club in the top tier of European soccer.

Who are Al Nassr?

• Formed in 1955, Al Nassr are based in the Saudi capital of Riyadh and play in the country's top division - the Saudi Professional League (SPL), which has 18 teams
• They finished third last season, six points behind champions Al Hilal
• Al Nassr are the second-most successful team in the league with nine titles. Their last win was in the 2018-19 season. Only Al Hilal, also based in Riyadh, have won more titles (18)
• Al Nassr are coached by Rudi Garcia, who previously managed Lille, Roma, Marseille and Lyon
• Al Nassr are second in the league this season after 10 rounds, two points behind leaders Al Shabab
• They must win the league this season to qualify for the 2023-24 Asian Champions League

The offer is staggering, that's what it says to me. Maybe the club that he wanted in Europe didn't come in for him, and that's why he went for it. It's probably been the last time we've seen the last ofRonaldo at the top level.

Had both parties handled things differently, we could have continued to watch it. It had to finish before the World Cup. In the end, it was a foregone conclusion.

It is a sad end for him.

Ronaldo's Al Nassr move 'price of forcing exit'

Pedro Sepulveda thinks that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has ruined his legacy by moving to Al Nassr.

The price of forcing his exit from Manchester United is what Sepulveda said. Being on the bench for the Portugal national team in the World Cup is costing them.

People didn't think that the best Portuguese player of all time would play for a side like Al Nassr.

There were no clubs, no offers, and no meetings betweenRonaldo's agent and other clubs to try to negotiate a price, because all those clubs were not about the money.

"A player who is not the best for the atmosphere of the dressing room, as we saw with the national team, is not a player who is probably the best for that."

This move taints his story because we were talking about the best player ever in the world and now we could be talking about the best Portuguese player ever.
