Those of you who say "remove Ronaldo's goals and he doesn't have anything" need brain surgery...
What of his assists? through balls?
He even crosses better than Messi, messi can't even cross.
What you guys are saying is that if you also remove all the goals from messi, he'll just be at most, as good as Okocha...great dribbler, no end product, that means he will be one of those forgotten dribblers that people remember once in a blue moon.
The point is, you can't take away goals from a player...analyze the player as he is...

As for me, Cristiano Ronaldo is The Greatest Of All Time...
The most complete player ever...
More than 100 goals with left, right and head, backheels, tricks and flicks, longshots, best ever off-the- ball movement, impeccable positioning,etc...

Ogbeni leave it jare...messi dey learn work...make he chop dribbling

No messi pass the ball to himself and he also scored so you are saying it does not have teammates besides the only one 3 the first one that he won he didn't play more than 5 games and he missed from the quarterfinals to the semifinals and final
Beo thank you, I love how you presented your case. Now pleasw be truthful and Honest. Ronaldo no doubt is a good player and a great finisher, this is how he scores almost all his goals. He positions himself in the boss 18, he has very good positioning and gets the ball from his teammates and once the ball gets to him, he finishes most of his are tap-ins, he just plays it inside the net.

Messi is not like that. Messi picks the ball from midfield, does some amazing runs or 1-2. we have seen occasions were Messi picks the ball from midfield and dribbles everybody including tge goalkeeper and scores. Messi plays deeper than ronaldo and yet almost outscores him all the time, You will see a Messi in midfield, controlling play, creating chances, determing pace and breaking defences.

So I respect both players but Messi is way above ronaldo and anyone who understands football knows this.

All this ur grammar no go commot the fact say Ororo is the greatest player that ever lived.


U saying I should refute ur points. Ok

How will u remove Ronaldo's goal? That's what makes him Ronaldo and I'm sure u do know that there are better players than Ronaldo.

Remove Messi's goals,u say,and he's still a playmaker. The only thing differentiating Messi,Hazard,Henrik,Modric, Toni krose abi how dem dey spell his name and others is the number of goals and bcus,of course,he plays for Barcelona.
Even Jodi Alba is a better playmaker than Messi.

So,boss,remove Messi's goals and he's on the same level with the players I mentioned if not less.


My 2 cents
Rubbish..

Your ronaldo is only a good tapin goalscorer. He can't even dribble a player on the pitch. No creative sense nothing.

Messi is both a goalscorer, playmaker and a dribbler. He doesn't dribble like neymar does. He dribbles with purpose and vision. You see his dribbles in every match. Should there be a match and Messi not dribble - Never. But he dribbles only when there is a need. No unnecessary show-offs.

Messi's goal against Real betis was what? "Shower-in"?

How u go type say world best is only good at tap-ins? U mean all his goals have been tap-ins and Messi doesn't score tap-ins?


If scoring goals was easy,why doesn't every single player in the world score? Speaking of creativity,what does it take to score goals? U have to be decisive,think quick,be sharp and ruthless in front of goal and creative which Ronaldo obviously has. Tapins,are they not part of Creativity? Penalties are also not part of Creativity? Creativity counts for naught if u can't score.

Una just like to dey find fault for Ororo's game but u people end up contradicting yourselves

The next time Ronaldo scores a tap-in,call Fifa make them cancel am bcus na tap-in.

U go live long.

The thing that annoys me is that that is always the first thing they bring up when comparing players(removing the goals). That was how someone was telling me that remove Salah's goals and he's nothing. Who does that?

Very soon when they start comparing keepers,they will say "remove his clean sheets or saves". What will now remain?

70 percent of Ronaldo's goals are tapins.
Just go sit down.
Your Ronaldo will be remembered only as a great goal scorer and nothing else. He should be compared with Aguero not Messi.

Don't you guys get it..

You talk about goals and Messi still has a better goal ratio and assist ratio than ratio than Ronaldo despite he playing deeper positions, veing a playmaker and a geat dribbler at the same time. spits

You amaze me... whether he taps in or he dribbles to score, a goal is a goal and he's the top scorer in the champions league ... why am I even arguing with you... let mercy win something with his national team first... ronaldo shows you how impactful he is in tims because he has major trophies with every team he has ever played for

Go and Sit down,, what do you know..

Messi took his team to the world cup final 2014, he was top scorer and won golden ball. 2014.

Your lord and saviour will never know how it feels to play in the world cuo final.

Your ronaldo is not great. - he started playing 2003 and Messi started playing late 2005, he wasn't even a started for barcelona until around 2007. He was still wearing number 30 then number 19 jersey then.

About 2 - 3 difference and we are still comparing the two.

I know that Ronaldo is blind, but please use your Youtube and check if you'll see messi crossing...Messi doesn't have vision at all to cross just like he is better at through balls (if you even check CR7's videos on YouTube, you'll see beautiful diagonal through ball that Benzema messes up).
Just last Juventus match against Milan, he crossed to Mandukic to score, he has already assisted a goal with crossing this season...

Never run,baba

All those stats ur brought up are for Laliga,if I'm right. When did Ronaldo come to laliga and when did Messi start playing in the laliga.

U've left his tap-ins to now bring appearances? Ok. I've got one for u.

U typed that individually,a Messi is better,fine but why is football a team sport if it is going to be based on individuality?

Ronaldo makes a team look good and if they are good,he makes them better. Ask Manchester united fans if they've been able to replace him. Ask Real Madrid fans how market.

Messi was absent,the team played well without him. Ronaldo left and the team was a wreck.

Bruhv, individuality counts for shyt if the team isn't good.

Lol that stats are for their entire careers. 2003 - 2018 for ronaldo.
from 2005 - 2018 for Messi.

I think benzema and Ronaldo cane to madrid at same time. Benzema has the same number UCL titles as ronaldo in madrid.

But individually compare benzema to Ronaldo

But that is how it is with Messi and Ronaldo.

Yes. People who score those kinda goals are world class players.
Ronaldo delima, Roberto Baggio, Maradona, Lionel Messi to mention but a few.

You c.ronaldo is a wait in the box tap-in goal scorer, he should be compared with aguero, lewandowski, torres, Harry kane. etc. These players I mentioned score goals and give assists. There is nothing spectacular about your ronaldo.

Nothing spectacular about Ronaldo? A certain club went out of their way to sign him and u say he's not spectacular?

You are the one that is being dogmatic here bro.
I praised Ronaldo, didn't I

I said he is a great finisher, a goalscorer and has powerful positioning.

But I said that is all there is to his game. And he shouldn't be compared to Messi who is a playmaker, finisher and a dribbler.

Open your heart and let the truth enter. Messi is greater than Ronaldo.

And the bolder is where your dogmatism comes in.

Greatest My Ass. Rubbish.

Go meet top football pundits in the world and they will tell you Messi is the better of the two.

Guy do not be blindfolded, take your time to observe both players.

Ronaldo is a goalscorer- a finisher.

Take away goals from him and he is gone.

Messi is both a goalscorer, finisher, playmaker and a powerful dribbler.

Take away his goals and you still got a very good baller.

You can't compare both. Messi is way above.

On the video, that's pure humility and sportsmanship. Ronaldo would never say that of Messi. Messi is damn humble.
