Ronaldo should step down, he's never going to be Messi: Bothroyd

After Portugal's 1-1 draw with DR Congo in FIFA World Cup 2026, former England player Jay Bothroyd opined that if Cristiano Ronaldo is a team player, he should step down and understand that he has to be a player that comes off the bench as impact player. "Ronaldo is always chasing Lionel Messi...He's never going to be Messi," he added.
