Refusing to accept his old age, Melo scored again on the same day! Cristiano Ronaldo s shocking header from Messi, youth never ends

On November 24, the football world was collectively flooded with two legends! The 38-year-old Messi and the 40-year-old Ronaldo used two magical goals to tell the world: Legends will never be defined by age!

In the MLS quarter-finals, Messi is still the anchor of Inter Miami. In the 16th minute of the first half, he first transformed into a midfield commander and distributed the ball to the wing. Then he inserted into the penalty area like lightning, received a pass from Silveti from the left, and scored with a precise header, giving the team a 1-0 advantage! This is the 896th goal of Messi's career. It instantly reminds people of the 2009 Champions League final - when he received a pass from Xavi and jumped with a header to seal the victory. This header is still one of his favorite goals. Now, at the age of 38, he can still reproduce such agility and accuracy.

On the other side of the Saudi league, 40-year-old Ronaldo staged the famous scene of "reverse growth". In the closing stages of Riyadh's 4-1 victory over Saihat Gulf, he received a pass from his teammate, rose into the air in the penalty area and completed a super difficult overhead kick, and the ball hit the dead center! This is the 954th goal of his career, only 46 goals away from the 1,000-goal mark. What is even more amazing is that his physical age is only 28.9 years old. This barb is exactly the same as the amazing barb that flew 1.41 meters in the air and 2.38 meters high when his foot touched the ball in the 2018 Champions League against Juventus. Time has only made him more calm.

From the pinnacle duel in the La Liga derby to the current persistence in their respective leagues, Melo has ruled football for more than 20 years and is still continuing to write the myth of immortality. One breaks the scoring record with a smart header, and the other demonstrates extreme self-discipline with a shocking barb. They are not only opponents, but also witnesses to each other and the youth totems of countless fans.

When the 38-year-old Messi can still score headers at high speed, and the 40-year-old Ronaldo can still complete the ultimate overhead kick, how can you not love football? Let’s chat in the comment area. Are you impressed by Melo’s “refuse to accept old age” actions? Which magical goal do you prefer?
