The meme

1. What is the meaning of the meme?

This meme is made to make fun of football "soccer" players. Specifically the two players in this meme: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. These two players are constantly being compared to each other, and they have a large rivalry. This meme is specifically about the El Clasico game between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. These two teams are the biggest and best teams in Spain, so these games tend to bring a lot of tension and competition between both the teams and their supporters and the meme is trying to lighten the mood and tension a little bit without specifically making fun of either team.  

2. Why does this particular meme have meaning to you?  What is it's appeal?

This meme has meaning to me because I am a huge football fan and Real Madrid are the team I support. I have a huge amount of respect for both of these teams though, and even though I will cheer for Real Madrid over FC Barcelona I admire them both very much and I think they have many qualities that are to be respected and admired in a football team. Football is huge in Europe and El Clasico is a major event that will draw a lot of attention from people both in Europe and around the world. Therefore its appeal would be prestige for the winning team until the next El Classico comes. 




I thought this meme was appropriate as the El Clasico is today :)
