For all the hindsight that now calls Messi the greatest living player on Earth, what made Messi's career with FC Barcelona so captivating was his longtime rivalry with Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.

On the field, Evander’s play has been vital for FC Cincinnati, but off the pitch, his quality has become indispensable.

FC Cincinnati star midfielder Evander and head coach Pat Noonan were named to the Major League Soccer Team of the Matchday after Wednesday's win over Lionel Messi and Inter Miami.

Evander scored a goal from outside the box Saturday night. Moments like that have become common for the All-Star midfielder.

Engel was already an admirer of Evander before they became teammates, having competed against him across four clubs when the two played in the Danish Superliga from 2018-22, during which time the Brazilian was a key figure at FC Midtjylland, helping the Wolves win a league title and two domestic cups.
