Summary: This article examines footballers’ worth as moral economy. For this purpose, it focuses on the two footballers who have dominated world football in the last decade and a half: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Under the debate over “the best player in the world” both were and are the subject of laudatory and critical discourses that tend to reflect the direct comparison of their qualities and defects. It is through these speeches that we find out that the football singularity articulates the cognitive constraints and the grammatical rules of what pragmatic sociology calls inspiration and industrial cités.

Para isso, centra-se nos dois futebolistas que, em títulos coletivos e troféus individuais, dominaram o futebol mundial na última década e meia: Lionel Messi e Cristiano Ronaldo. À pala da disputa em torno de “o melhor jogador do mundo” ambos foram e são objeto de discursos laudatórios e críticos que tendem a refletir o cotejo direto das suas qualidades e defeitos. É através desses discursos que concluímos que a singularidade futebolística articula os constrangimentos cognitivos e as regras gramaticais daquilo que a sociologia pragmática designa de cités da inspiração e industrial.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2025-03-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/202382https://doi.org/10.31447/202382Análise Social; Vol. 60 N.º 254 (2025); e23822182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/40502https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/40502/27998Direitos de Autor (c) 2025 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSedas Nunes, JoãoBurlamaqui, Luiz Guilherme2025-03-08T06:16:36Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/40502Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T01:13:52.546180Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
