Kim Kardashian has weighed in on one of the biggest debates in sport after she followed up her visit to see Lionel Messi in action by watching Cristiano Ronaldo.

The reality TV megastar was witness to some bona fide sporting history when she attended Messi's debut for Inter Miami alongside her son and his friend. The 42-year-old world-famous personality had pretty much had a front row seat the spectacle at DRV PNK Stadium, alongside superstars LeBron James and Serena Williams.

It is fair to say the legendary forward lived up to his billing on his first appearance in a Vice City shirt, notching a memorable last-minute winner to earn his team the victory. David Beckham's franchise had gone 11 games without a victory before Messi stepped up to send a deft free-kick past Cruz Azul's goalkeeper.

Fresh from her unforgettable experience under the lights in Florida, Kardashian headed out to Japan to see Messi's long-term nemesis Ronaldo in action for Al-Nassr in Japan. This game was a little less eventful as the Saudi Arabian club held PSG to a 0-0 stalemate.

Despite the glitz and glamour of the World Cup winner's bow in front of a star-studded crowd in Miami, the star of "The Kardashians" seems more focused on giving her young son Saint a memorable time watching his idols. Last time, the seven-year-old - who she shares with hip hop icon Kanye West- got to meet former England captain Beckham as well as Messi, who signed a shirt for him

The youngster accompanied her once again on this latest trip and appeared engrossed in the action at Yanmar Stadium Nagai before YouTuber iShowSpeed caught up with them while the game was being played. Kardashian appeared to take the interruption in good humour, however, as the internet sensation engaged in conversation with her and her son.

The streaming star - real name Darren Watkins Jr - had a jovial encounter with the mother and son duo, while declaring his love for Ronaldo. The teenager has made no secret of his admiration for the Portuguese forward in the past and was filmed shouting "Ronaldo is the best" in the direction of Messi during the latter's debut.

In this instance, the 19-year-old again was true to form, exclaiming "Ronaldo is my GOAT" while speaking to young Saint while the match was ongoing. After some good-hearted joshing between the internet star and the boy, he then asked Kardashian who she preferred out of his idol and Messi.

Ever the diplomat, the TV star simply gave a one-word response to the query, stating "both", before posing for a picture with Watkins Jr and her son, along with an unnamed child. Veering away from any potential controversy, Kardashian added: "We had a great time at the game."

With the match having ended in a draw, this continue an odd hoodoo associated with the megastar, which appeared to come to an end with Messi's victory on his Inter Miami debut. Dubbed by supporters as the "Kardashian Curse", Ronaldo drew a blank in the match, continuing a trend of players and teams struggling in games she has attended.
