696 goals, 306 Assists!!!

He is not just a great goal scorer, he is also a Playmaking Legend!!!

SyrusdeHansome:





Hazard's story shud teach u that playing one team 4 yrs is easier than trying other leagues. Messi will always be a one club champ.

cr7lomo:



U just posted dumb trash... Pls is Barca or CL league games?? Or u think if he joins the EPL... He will carry the while of Barca to the epl ...how dull can u b... Do u know how many goals shevchenko scored against EPL teams in the CL for Milan , only for him to fire blanks when he joined Chelsea... Ronaldinho scored goals against Italian teams in the CL but fired blanks when he joined Milan ... Abeg try use ur Brain

Pele never reached 1000 professional career goals, Google is your friend

anigbajumo:


U are saying pure nonsense,Messi scored 26 goals against EpL top (ur assumed best league in the world in UCL) than Ronaldo 13 goals against English top league in 6yrs...u are saying absolutely trash,he has more goals in Portugal than Messi in Agentina coz he played more matches in his national team than Messi coz he is older than messi...shame no catch u.Check their appearances and see urself...Take away goal from Ronaldo,he is nowhere near Messi coz Messi is everything in football,hope u knw he has won playmaker awarda for 4x??

Lol Messi can't make much or new achievement , he is only breaking the past ones(easy ones) that's why he doesn't make front pages like Ronaldo.. To me he is a stagnant sportsman he doesn't explore.. That's why I like my guy ororo.. If Ronaldo had stayed in Real Madrid we would have collected the last world best but he saw no fun in repeating awards and he isn't scared about the future challenges.. So he left real Madrid ( he didn't die) and he is still breaking records or do you think it is easy to score for Juventus.. Check their history they don't score much ,with all those their stuck stuck midfielders and defenders. To me Ronaldo is the best the only reason that will make me believe Messi is if he leaves barca and like Ronaldo and still perform well..

maynation:

This says it all, Penaldo is a joke.

Igbosmoker:
Messi bad season

23 goals (2pks), 16 assists in 28 matches.

Ronaldo exceptional season

25 goals,(7 pks), 2 assists in 30 matches

ThierryJay:
See performance. Pls wake me up when CR7 achieve this kind of performance in a single match. Just look at the sheer quality of the goals, something penaldo can never match. All his hattricks, na penalty and tap-ins. Nothing ingenious like Messi's output.

Messi has always been more than just goals. I have always said this. The goals are just the icing on the cake. It's the play, the dribble, that feint, the mesmerizing sprint, the subtle pass, nutmeg, the slalom, the precision, unparalleled vision, name it! That's what we are talking about. That's what we got with breathtaking Ronaldinho even though Eto'o was scoring more goals; with Zidane even though Raul was scoring more goals. That's pure football artistry which sadly is what CR7 fans can never understand.

The above notwithstanding, please note this below:


Oga talking about quality of goals, dont compare Ronaldo goals with messi. Extra-ordinary kind of goals belongs to Cr7. Powerful headers, bicycle kicks, long rangs shot etc

Willie2015:


Tell Messi to move to England...
Or move to Italy....
Or even move to any team in Spain...Real Madrid. or Athlet Madrid...
Messi cant perform outside that Barcelona style of playing...
Ronaldo has shown the world...
No matter the country.... league...
team mates, style of playin....
In England, Spain & Italy..Portugal...
He can replicate this performance...
Thats the true definition of a Genius...

lomprico:
the great pele was the first to score 1000 goals minus assist o followed by Romario!

now messi fans join goals + assist = 1000. dem no go allow pesin hear word now.

playapayaski:


Very true, as to Tammy Abraham in Chelsea, aubameyang in arsenal, Kane in Tottenham, oh and rashford or odion ighalo in man utd, in fact all the goal scorers or strikers in each team are the best players!!! Well said sir

thoollz:


Tested and trusted in what league? A league u can't conquer by being the highest goalscorer or by winning the treble? Òróró is good no doubt, but u and I know he got his success by playing with very good players in laliga. Benzema created more assists when CR7 was in that team. Messi on the other hand is the provider, the goalscorer, the free kick taker etc. Ronaldo's success is in the ucl but he's been unable to achieve that feat and that's the reason juve got him. Juve were winning domestic trebles without him. So what has changed?

kingkakaone:

I'm not against Ronaldo but Messi is an extremely complete player.

Mind you, Ronaldo never went to a smaller team, though he too, is a beast in front of goal but Messi goal to have!e ratio is superior to Ronaldo's...Check this if you think I'm lying.

The difference here is that one of them is a goal poacher while the other can score, set passes/assists and determine the temple of a game.

cr7lomo:



Forget that....every player assists in football...infact it's one of the easiest things to do in football... it's only foolish to state that he dint go to a smaller team cos u don't expect a big player to go to a smaller team... Besides, going to a big team doesn't guarantee success... Ask Kaka , shevchenko , rivaldo ,coutinho , even hazard now ... If Messi leaves Barca , no one would expect him to join Atalanta or spurs ...

danilmo:


U should b ashamed of urself if ur GOAT can only perform with specific team, where is his 'vasatility', he couldn't temple international match game,

just assume Ronaldo was messi in Argentina, taa maa hear say Argentina no go rise up.. Ronaldo is the real temple of game biko,

tell one features of a good player messi has and I ll tell 10 of ronaldo.. no try headmaster biko.

aylive02:
And the other assistant � GOAT is there making noise in Turin. CONGRATULATIONS to you the best ever

I doubt this record.. Josef Bican scored 1,500 goals but FIFA decided 2 recognize just 805.. sources said he scored up to 5000 goals.. n Wen he was asked he said no one would believe he scored 5times more goals than Pele.. Though there were no records of his assists but a man capable of scoring almost 1000 goals would actually any 200 assists 2 his name.
Y'all keep bending records 2 favour Messi.. same way they gave him d award for most goals in a calendar year after all evidences from FIFA recognised competitions showed it was Moses Chitalu of Zambia with 148goals.. no b by force 2 create records..

xjiggy:
The way they are trying to rewrite history to make Messi the greatest footballer ever is appalling. Pele scored over 1280 goals in his career. We're here talking about a combination of goals and assists. Let Messi get at least 1 Copa America and 1 World cup first before even trying to weigh himself against Pele and Maradona.

Ronaldo left for juventus because of salary increment not because he actually want a challenge. Perez didn't pamper him like the way barca does to Messi that's why he left Madrid.
