He went silent because, man u were defending for their lives against those teams you mentioned. Against teams they attack or press, then his games shows.

You don't seem to understand what you posted , Ronaldo played like 100+ more games, yet their goal Difference is little. 799-756 = 43. Despite playing 100+ more games.

messi is an exceptional player. It is goals that make Ronaldo mostly against smaller teams that makes people even compare him with Messi. When Portugal won euro he played a bit part in the tournament and did not contribute much to the team. But Messi won copa America as the highest goal scorer and best player of the tournament. Ronaldo has played many games against the big teams in epl and hasn’t scored much compare to Messi that has never played in the epl but has a staggering record against them. He Ronaldo has never scored Chelsea and any South American national teams. He scores more against weaker opposition both national teams and club levels

Ronaldo has scored against Argentina, and has also scored against Ecuador.

Who scored against Chelsea in 2008 UCL final the made the game 1-1 at full time? His name is Ronaldo!

So go and straighten your record.

Messi also scores more against weaker opposition. His worst victim in the national team is Venezuela, having scored six goals against them.

Ronaldo hasn't done badly against big teams. He's even scored a hat-trick against Spain. And his biggest victim in club levels is Atletico Madrid, he's scored them 25 goals.

Bollocks!. How can a team not coached to hold on to the ball, a team that relies heavily on brilliant individual moments, a team built to counter attacks, a team without detailed tactical coaching and plan who are unable to dominate teams, trigger or sustain lenghty spells of dominance to always be at the service of an experienced past-it? Wanna have a great in-dept knowledge about football? Don't take seriously the british pundits!

It still amazes me that so-called professional footballers cannot hold ball.

Messi is 34 years old. He can never be fully fit again. You Messi fans should face the fact.

If he can't score in France, is it in Italy or England he'll perform?

When he starts scoring, hope you won't say it's a farmers league? Because he will score a lot within the 2 years..... In fact, his focus is not on the local league, more of UCL..... They can win the local league without him, so his goals there is irrelevant.

Not like Pendu that chase records cheesy grin

Well Owen is talking nonsense, blaming others instead of blaming Ronaldo.

Owen needs to send a mail to his man Ronaldo to stop being a penalty box footballer.

When he's isolated up front he needs to drop deep and join in the build up play.. That's what Messi does!

Not stay up there waiting to have the ball on a platter.

Messi is struggling at PSG, 3 assist aside. He knows he's no more the same player he use to be. I don't know what u guys gain in trying to put down Ronaldo at any given time but when Messi plays badly u guys make excuses 4 him. Stop being a hypocrite abeg. Rashford that played first half what was his contribution? Him giving three assist against the worst club in French league one doesn't change the fact that Barca made him. Ronaldo at 36 has 10 goals in15 appearances. If tap in was that easy Timo Werna wud win the golden boot last season. And mind u if u wanna see how useless Messi is put him in this current man utd team that rarely control the ball against opponents. He only thrived at Barca cos everything about the team revolved around him.

so you're taking a stand against putting Ronaldo down and you're agrument for that is by putting Messi down.

Go and read what Van Da Vaart wrote about Messi after the champions league match. He said the difference between him and Ronaldo is that Ronaldo irrespective of his age always pushes his team to win but that he (Messi) plays like someone who has no passion anymore. Wud Messi change this currently man U team coached by rookies? Hell no! He'd make it worse. Is Ronaldo the problem? No! We've played so many yrs after sir Alex retired with nothing to show. Ronaldo coming to man utd was an added bonus cos he's a winner and him being around the team will transfer his winning mentality to other players

please how many world class coaches did Messi had at Barca?
do you people watch football at all?
PSG that's structured around Mbappe is now Messi's fault when they lose. Where was Van Der Vaart with his comment in the first leg against Man City, or when PSG got reduced to 10 men in the league and Messi rescued them or against RB Leipzig.
Since Ronaldo pushes his team to win abeg what happened at Liverpool, Man City or Watford? - I know you'll say it's Ole's fault but when it's a team with Messi in it, it doesn't matter who the coach is, na Messi cause am.
jeez, please leave this senseless thinking in 2021 as we're entering 2022. Thank you

The whole 90+ minutes that u sit and watch football, do u know what the best part is? When the ball goes into the back of the net. That's why even in betting, they don't bet on assist, dribbles or saves but rather goals. The game is all about the goals

Frank Lampard said something recently. That he has always been among the team messi is greater cristiano base, but he has reviewed his stance after hearing and considering an argument Gary Neville had with someone. He said, if u come to think of it, messi played in a Barcelona team that completely dominate possession. Meaning messi get to touch the ball like 200 times in a single game, making his chances of scoring very high. Then consider cristiano who played in teams over the years where he only gets to touch the ball like 30-40 times in a game, yet still able to score the amount of goals he does.He said it takes a special kind of player to still be able to compete with messi when all things are been considered

Messi touches the ball 200 times in which area of the pitch??
the likes of Fabregas, and KDB, Hazard, ( I could go on and on) where in teams that dominate and touches the ball 200 times, how many goals do they have?
the way una dey analyze football baffles people.
Someone touches the ball 90% of the well out the opponent box while having only a dominant left leg, meaning his right leg and heading is not that useful is not better than someone that touches the ball 90% of the time in the opponent's box with his right leg, left leg and heading being good.

Make it make sense na

If they had started Pendu, they are definitely losing that game. It was tactical! Chelsea will press them very well, and Pendu on the pitch means a player down aside goalscoring (since they are been pressed).

What foolish tactics is that? With the calibre of players in manutd,they should never be sitting back against any team in the premier league.

So because he can't score anymore u guys have forgotten that he's a goal scorer. Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes were all midfielders but always competed in terms of goals with their team strikers
but do u know even ronaldo have less goal ratio to messi? For 10 different season messi have more goals and assist than ronaldo. Its ridiculous comparing lampard and gerard to messi in terms if goal, whereas messi have better goal ratio than ronaldo who is a striker. Just wait for end of season before u talk about goals, last season ronaldo started well but messi still finished ahead of him in terms of goal and assist. Just chill
