it is still a tap in with scissors kick.... he should try dribble like two three defenders and score outside the box this season let see ...

He has done it and more in his younger days.

Be like u just start dey watch ball.

Elxandre:

You are being unfair if you expect a 33 year old man to have the agility of a 25 year old.
Even Messi has arguably lost a lot of his destructive ability, and he's not even 31 yet, and that's despite his low centre of gravity, which gives short guys like him an advantage.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo played on the wings and was a spectacular dribbler for most of his Career, and almost singlehandedly carried madrid for many seasons.

I wonder if you started watching footie only a few years ago.

I doubt you understand that Ronaldo has scored almost all Madrid goals in the UCL this season.
If that isn't applausible what is?

I don't know why Barça fan's hate cr7 i just don't get it?

LesbianBoy:
Messi and his fans won't sleep well tonight

What a goal

i swear na we get am this year

maynia:


Ronaldo has more goals and assist than Messi in champions league
He has more career goals than him
More country goals than him

I am arrogant, and I have proof to back it up.. What do you have!?

no vex this is what I have. hehe

When next you mention goals make sure you add games so people can see the true picture.

Wow the Ronaldo hate is strong. Anyway, he feeds off it and that's why he's successful.

MrMystrO:


Your king trying to Imitate the REAL KING - Injury Straight!

Shut your Trap

If I were Madrid fan, I too would also hate a player who messed up one of my best defenders that lead to a Goal wearing ONE BOOT ONLY.

I understand truly how you feel

if i ever choose any championship team for bet again make amadioha squeeze my throat

Championship and Holland erste divisie will forever be a NO! NO!! For me.....

NoDulling4here:

I watched that game and I must admit real Madrid were a bit unlucky in that match while Barcelona was.
It is one of those matches when things just refuse to go your way despite your best efforts.

Barcelona this season is the worst I have seen in recent times; compared to barca some seasons ago.

I have been saying this. Barca of this season isn't that exceptional. They are just lucky I guess.

I wasn't comparing Ronaldo with Messi. Point where I mentioned Messi in that comment you just quoted and make me a liar.

Ronaldo is an impressive goal machine, arguably the best goal machine of all time. But that is where his contributions to soccer stops currently. Of course he's not a good passer of the ball, neither is he a playmaker or a nice dribbler. Just goals. That is the crux of my criticism.

Marcelo, Carvajal, Modric, Casemiro etc. are the ones who make thing happen. They are a very critical part of the Madrid team. They work very hard on field, and cover more distance. Next time you praise CR7, praise them too. Praise them more sef

Who is the best in the world right Now!

Likes for Ronaldo and shares for Messi

maynia:


No be distance again Bro? . So throughout the year there was no sublime goal?
No outside shot
Free kick weren't scored!
Or solo goals weren't scored?

What special technique?
is he the first to do it?

All this argument just to prove that Ronaldo cannot win the puskas.. Even sport analyst they hail the goal,

You don't understand the concept of the 'Puskas' award. Solo goals hardly win the award, else Messi for don win like two at least.

I expected you to find out other goals that competed with Giroud's, especially the uniqueness of manner in which they were scored. But you no do am.

As for Puskas award, no be me dey give am. You can wait for some months as see if Ronaldo's goal would win it for him

seems u really oblivious of the fact that cr7 was 1 of d most skillful players and best dribblers in the game be4 turning age31..he was a winger known for his pace, trickery, powerful rocket like shots and good cross and has a whole lot of assists to his name... if in doubt just Google Search how many assist Ronaldo has... what made Ronaldo special then was that traditionally a winger doesn't score 40-50 goals... but Ronaldo was an exception... he could and did season after season.. all types of goal u can think of.. solo goals, 30yard-40yard rockets... back heels and flicks...headers.. freekicks, tap ins..right foot, left foot... that "no7" Ronaldo that played from d wings is may favorite model /type Of Ronaldo.. kinda like a Neymar now but with more goal scoring sense and powerful shot and aerial ability.... but baba is 33 ..he had to evolve to a no9 to lengthen his career and he is d best at it.... he may not make d scintillating runs or trademark flicks and step overs like he used to.. but baba dey deliver.... probably u didn't know that d most important contribution in a football game is goals...u can have all possession and dribbles in d world if d ball doesnt end in d background of d network.. no1 cares.. u can ask d emilson of Brazil those years....y Messi is special is cause he puts d ball at d back of d net..every other thing is additional

do u remember around 2009-2012/2013..iniesta and Xavi were still at Dere pick and it seemed every body in Barça was working for Messi.. if sanchez or Pedro have a clear cut shooting opportunity, dey would rather lay it back to Messi.... and many pple used to say when Iniesta and Xavi leave that Messi won't perform at his peak... that was 1 of d reason barca didn't perform well at ucl recently.. because teams like Chelsea and athletico knew that if they isolated Messi.. nobody in Barça will score .. that d reason Messi had to evolve his game too from a false nine to a pseudo no10..the reason Barça got a Neymar and Suarez so Messi can turn kinda a provider

Its being Messi since day1 bro...

Ronaldo is good but its a crime to humanity to compare him to messi

Bro, it has never been a crime and never will it be.

Jeferious:
Ronaldo is a super player, I admit that. He's hardworking too. Agreed. But I don't understand the hype about his hardworking part. Does he cover more distance than the other 21 players on the field during a match?

Ronaldo is not as hardworking as the media puts it. In reality, he's a very economical player, and he's shining on the strength of others. Otherwise, justify why a player, who is supposed to be at the wings providing crosses and passes for the team's ultimate striker, would always lurking in the opponent's penalty box. Or is he, and not Benezema, now Madrid's top 9?

If you can answer the above question without sentiments, you'd definitely want to take something away from the praises you shower on CR7. Marcelo and Carvajal are the real hard workers. They attack, they defend. They bear a very large chunk of providing attacking opportunities for Madrid, and they are also responsible for making sure that opponent's wingers don't do much damage from the flanks. If you really mean to shower praises, give them their due- lion share for that matter.

I don't even want to talk about Modric and Casemiro: it takes more than being a good midfielder to shut out Dybala. Of course you would ignore Varane and Ramos, because to mark Higuain is a very easy task(rolls eyes).

In conclusion, Ronaldo is not as hardworking as he is hyped. He's more economical with his strengths than you are being told. And he may be the club's highest goalscorer, but not their best player. And that acrobatic goal is not more 'Puskas' than Eriksen's and Ibrahimovic's long range efforts last week for Tottenham and LA Galaxy respectively.

chisox! na where I go start answer o. anyways, your matter is like buhari govt is not corrupt, wetin come cause reccesion ?

STILESGANG:
Players score this type of goal everytime. I'm sure if it was Ronaldo that scored ibrahimovic goal during the weekend. We will not hear word again

dis type of a goal comes special time not every times.... moreover, who dey watch MLS self.... i only read abt Xlatan goal

Ooh
Lol Suarez
Ronaldo was the fastest to reach 200/300

You posted El clasico,that means you have posted LA liga

Ronaldo has more hat tricks than Messi in LA liga despite messi using 3+ season before him

Hehehehe. Guy some arguments are better not started. Messi came into the first leg of their UCL and things changed like he does miracles and he's currently the highest goal scorer in their league. There's a reason why they are sitting on top of their league table over 12 points away from Real.

you cant compare Chelsea and Roma with PSG and Juventus.

Barca never face tough team.

Real Madrid is the bulldozer in UCL this season.

mind u,Chelsea and Roma were in same team with atletico.


Chelsea,Juventus and Madrid have all conceeded 3 goals each from Barca this season

Barca has beaten Sevilla,Chelsea,atletico,real Madrid,Juventus and real sociedad(most difficult team for Barca for the past 11 yrs)

Is it the same Barcelona that was struggling against Sevilla last weekend?

yea,,,same Sevilla Bayern are also struggling to beat

Chelsea, Juventus and Madrid have all conceeded 3 u replied goals from Barca....don't forget atletico and valencia too

Juventus go still qualify......☝who's with me? �

Who cares, Messi can go goalless for a whole season and still be better than Ronaldo. Na by tapins?

tell them o. we are talking about best footballer, you are talking about some lucky goal scored once in a blue moon. why did ronaldinho win worldbest without scoring lots of goals, the reason is football has been reduced to only goal scoring. Soccer is more than tapins. facts

The only time Ronaldo was skillful and ever a winger was in Manchester United and maybe his first 2 seasons in Madrid. Ronaldo is a striker and he pushes benzene to the wings. Abi why is a so called winger always on the box 24/7.The rest of your writeup is pretty much emotional jargons.
I would rate net marketing ahead of tapinaldo when it comes to been a more exciting and complete footballer. Ronaldo should be compared with other goal machines like Gerd muller and ferenc puskas and should never be mentioned in the Goat list.

If goals are the most important thing, why is it that Ferenc Puskas, Gerd Muller, Di Stefano etc. are not recognized whenever the 'GOAT' title is mentioned? Why is it that Maradona, Messi and Zidane are considered than those three I just mentioned? Why is it that Suarez didn't win the ballon d' or in 2015/2016 football season since he scored more goals than Ronaldo and every one else?

Inasmuch as goals are important, a player should be able to make other contributions to the match, and this is what makes Messi better than Ronaldo. If you treat these other aspects as not so important, then Ronaldo can pick the ball deep down from his defence and run at the opponent's goal to score while avoiding challenges from them.

It's just people are hardly fair in their analysis whenever Messi or Ronaldo are mentioned. If you ignore what their teammates bring to the table as well, you've completely missed it. Even on their not-so-good days, you'd still see morons focusing on them. Do you know that Samuel Umtiti had a better performance than Messi this season? His only bad day was against Sevilla. Still Messi would still be touted by fanatics as Barca's best performer this season. I've criticised Ronaldo enough, so I don't want to talk about him anymore. Same way some people would find it hard to appreciate the fact the De Gea is Man. United's best player by far.

See, if you want to make a good analysis of football, try to watch a football match on your own. Put sentiments aside, as well as ignore hype. The 21st century media has a way of making black look white. A defender is supposed to defend. If he does it well, he is a good defender. If he does more than defender, such as providing attacking options for his team like Marcelo does, he deserves extra credit. Same with a midfielder...he is supposed to be the link between the attack and the defence. If he fulfils this role well, he is a good midfielder. If he brings more to the table like shielding the defence like Kante, Busquets and Casemiro does, then he is exceptional.

It is a defective and dangerous thing to say that scoring goals alone makes one best player. Some ambitious defenders and midfielder would see this as a slight and might frolic very high into the field to get a goal to their name, putting their position at the risk of being exploited. Rather, appreciate footballers according to the demands of the position they play.
