The worst night for two football stars, their careers coming to an end

They have dominated world football for more than a decade, winning numerous individual and team trophies.

One has won six Ballons d'Ors, the other follows with five. Two careers lived as two parallel lines, even on Sunday evening.

While the first, Messi, was sent off with a red card, for the first time since he wore the Barcelona (first team) jersey, the other, Cristiano Ronaldo, left "San Siro" with his head down, after a miserable personal and team performance.

Despite the 15 goals scored so far by the Portuguese, which currently make him the top scorer in Serie A, in recent appearances Ronaldo seems quite distant from the great champion, admired for years.

Slow, inaccurate, not very clear even in the simplest passes. Ronaldo against Inter repeated the already bad test, offered a few weeks ago at the “San Siro”, against the Rossoneri. But, if then Juventus had managed to win anyway, this time it sank together with its symbolic man.

The Argentine, at the last second, was sent off with a red card by the referee, with the VAR signal, after hitting an opponent and now risks an exemplary suspension. A sign of a secret nervousness for months, between the rumors of a farewell from Barcelona and some critical performances.

In short, Sunday, from Milan to Seville, was the night of the stars, which fell. Whether it will be a simple "hiccup" or the end of an era, only the coming months will tell us.
