Messi vs Ronaldo - 4 reasons why the Portuguese has more chances of winning the World Cup this year

#1. Inspiration from the Euro 2016 triumph

Ronaldo won the Euros in 2016

With the likes of Germany, Sapin, France, Belgium, and Brazil playing at a great level at the moment, no one is expecting Ronaldo to lead Portugal to claim the World Cup this year. However, his Euro 2016 triumph is a proof that the attacker can lead his nation to glory even when they are not considered favorites.

Ronaldo was an unlikely winner in the tournament which took place in France. In fact, Portugal made it into the knockout stages as the best losers. Yet, they were able to hold on to their nerves, remained calm and produced great performances in the tournament.

With the attacker looking forward to earning glory for his country, the World Cup might just end up being a repeat of what happened in the Euros in 2016.
