ddippset: fergie calls him unstoppable, wenger calls him play station, xavi and iniesta call him the best ever, rooney calls him the best in history, eto calls him god, balotelli calls him the only footballer better than him, robben and ribbery say they are not as good as him, maradona calls him his successor, grondona can not tell who is better messi or maradona, guordiola calls him the gretest, john terry's kids love messi more than their dad, thiago silva says you need the sign of the cross to stop him, pele gets sleepless nights because of him, Nowadays we see debates like who is the gretest, maradona, pele or messi. Ronaldo's name does not even get a mention!ronaldo fan boys quit tring to put to names ronaldo and messi in the same sentences. You are being ridiculous. Pls help me tell them. The most painful thing is dat deep down their hearts/minds, they know Messi is better. Even Ronaldo himself knows this. Grow up haters! |

I love C.R but messi is not from this planet, Messi is a spirit. My comparison for both of them is when CR is with the ball he dribble one at a time but for messi is like a thief coming to steal in your house running with the stolen item then crowd of people running after him to catch him that is exactly who messi is. Messi will take on 3-4 defenders and still succeeds and that makes him the best in my opinion. |

I went through the whole thread and wondered whether to chip in more than has already been said. First things first though, CR7 did answer those interview questions gracefully. He said "at the moment" i am better. Whether he is or not the "at the moment" as someone rightly pointed out should be taken in context with the other statements. The issue of who is better then is very clear and easily messi. Many of the posters here are purely sentimental in saying one player needs to move to another league to prove his mettle. A good player is a good player regardless of team or assisting players and for that alone messi reigns supreme. The issue about who peeped who this season is the only reasonable matter worthy of a debate. Ronaldo won the more significant trophy and scored the winner and as such on the basis of that he should be adjudged as la ligas best player 2011/2012 a title messi has enjoyed for a good 4 seasons. That is were it should end. The ballon d'or is more encompassing and is determined by more individualistic successes than one being achieved in a group. The world cup is the only thing that can reasonably affect the decision and as we witnessed in 2010 couldnt even deter Lionel. Messi brings to mind the success of Federer in his hay days: he not only garners the individual and most prestigious awards but he does it with such aplomb and grace. He outscored every player in the UEFA CL-his fourth time in a row, he outscored CR7 in the league, he assisted more goals than every other player save ozil, he netted 8 hatricks, his free kick conversion rate is far better than CR7s, hell even his heading conversion rate. This is a fact many CR7 apologists fail to see- the big picture! As far as i am concerned Messi would forever me remembered in history as the greatest player that ever graced the game and to think that he has achieved all this at the age of 24 is even more mind boggling since stats say that most players play their best football between 27-32. It could only mean the young man is just warming up. You would think so highly of Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Robben, Rooney, RVP etc but when you shine them in the light of this phenomenom they look average. I tell you in CR7s heart of hearts he knows that messi is the greatest. but i still give all the credit to CR7 this year and hope he finishes second during the awards-they shouldngt give it to xavi and iniesta again as they have done in time past. |

The statistics published on soccernet.com shows clearly Messi scored 72 goals/284 shots where as cr7 scored 60 goals/351 shots. Messi's shot accuracy on goal is 143 /284shots where as crybaby penaldo is 137/351. Also Barcelona played a total of 63 games this season in 6 competitions, messi played 59 of the 63 games,the others only played half of those games eg) pique (31) puyol(40)pedro(30)villa(17) sanchez(30) abidal (35) inesta/fab (38)..so another word Messi pretty much carried Barcelona on his own this season (considering in 2011, Pedro and Villa each chipped in 25 goals)! Also, if people really watch games closely, u will notice that where ever messi touches the ball theres alwais 3-4 markers on him, in chelsea/ac milan game there was at least 4 defenders circling him same with the classico game, mourinho parked the bus with 9 defenders and most of the time theres 3 real madrid defenders on him tag or pulling his shirt back. If you watch cr7 play, hes alwais given all the time n space in la liga to make decisions and shoot from long range, but unfortunately in big games in the CL, he could never deliver! people can say all they like but when it comes down to facts, i bet none of em can even name 1 decent defender from each la liga team. This is why CL is so much harder than la liga, defence, man marking, time on the ball to make decisions, game intensity are so much faster and cr7 cudnt handle that...messi has proven himself over n over again in the CL for the past 4 years and hes already over 51 CL goals/68 games (at age 24 only) and look where cr7 is again?? 39 goals/86 games(age 28). and if people wanna talk bout cr7 being a big game player, once again i will remind u guys to watch the following 1) Euro 2004 finals v greece 2) 2006 wc semi final portugal v france 3) euro 2008 quarter v Germany 4) Man Utd v Kaka's Ac Milan 2007 CL semi final 5) 2010 world cup qtr final v spain 6) 2009 CL final v Barcelona 7) 2008 CL final v chelsea (the penalty miss 2007 FA Cup Final loss to Chelsea 9) Real v Barcelona 5-0 loss 10) 2011 CL semi finals loss to barcelona 11) December 2011 classico loss to barcelona 12) Spanish super copa loss to Barcelona the list will jus go on n on and forget bout all the other records messi broke the past couple seasons coz the list will jus go on n on and put cr7 to shame! |

The debate on who is better: Cristiano or Messi is simply pointless in my opinion! The main question remains: could Lionel Messi rise to be the greatest footballer of all-time? And my response would be probably! |

Until Messi move away to Other league and Prove himself, he remain Local Champion. C.Ron is the Best. Can you Compare Gurdiola withe The SPECIAL ONE-Super Mourio? Who Is The Best? Between Lampard and Mikel who is an Homebase Player and who is a Professional? |
