Ronaldo’s recent international situation, including his public fallout with Portugal coach Jorge Jesus and departure from the national team camp after being benched, has kept his social media activity centered on his own training and career milestones rather than direct commentary on Messi. Messi’s Oct. 6 farewell match against Benin marks the end of his Argentina career, yet Ronaldo’s pattern since Messi’s August retirement announcement—limited to generic posts like “Keep pushing” without naming or addressing his rival—suggests limited incentive for a timely tribute within the narrow window. Traders price the 79% probability on “No” around this lack of recent direct engagement amid Ronaldo’s domestic and national team priorities.
