#5 Neither player reaching their optimum potential
There are some theories that claim that we are not alone, that our universe isn’t the only one out there. So just imagine a universe were these two players failed to reach their potential. Go on, do it.
Terrible thought, isn’t it? As much as the rival fans have to admit it, these two players make each other better. The competition between them is such that each player pushes himself to be the better one—making them better in the process.

But if they played for the same team, the system would have been carved out in such a way that it forms equilibrium, a balance between creative freedom and tactical stability.
In the midst of all this, both of them would have had to compromise and play within their abilities. The reason why these two players are the best of this generation is that once they began to reach their peak levels, they were handed complete freedom by their bosses in order for them to break the final barrier and reach the ultimate.
That final piece of the jigsaw is only created when the said player is given the freedom to do what he wants. Both Ronaldo and Messi got that at their respective clubs, something which they might not have had if they played in the same team—resulting in them not attaining their best.
Just imagine a world where these two failed to reach their best. Dreadful, isn’t it?
