Is there a literary character that parallels the tragic figure of Cristiano Ronaldo?
Cristiano Ronaldo - incredibly talented, incredibly successful, incredibly hard working, but despite all that he has always been second best to Messi. And because of this - and the fact that it seems to make him miserable - he has always struck me as quite a tragic figure.
In any other era he would have been the greatest footballer, but instead he was always just one step behind Messi. Because of this he has always seemed just a bit hollow despite all of his achievements. He has also just had quite an undignified end to his international career, bringing down his own beloved Portugal team's performance at this world cup by insisting on being the main figure despite the fact he is clearly not up to that standard any more.
Is there a literary character that parallels this? The best I can think of is Salieri in Amadeus
