[quote author=obembet post=89969066]Lionel Messi will turn 33 on June 24

It's at that age when many footballers begin to make plans to retire, but that doesn't seem the case for the Argentine.

Although he hasn't confirmed whether he'll stay at Barcelona long term, he has indicated that his career isn't coming to an end just yet.

There are doubts over how long Messi will want to keep playing for a club like Barcelona, where the demands are at their highest all the time.

Over in Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo has proved his longevity at the top.

The Portuguese international will be 37 by the time his contract at Juventus expires in June 2022 and, given his commitment to keeping in peak condition, you'd imagine that he could play for a while longer after that.

It's unknown how long Messi will want to or even be able to carry on playing at the highest level, although his performances in recent seasons suggest that it could be a while yet.

Instead of staying at one of the top clubs in Europe, the Argentine could decide to wind down in a league like MLS, where his body wouldn't have as much strain.

In any case, every football fan will be hoping he can continue playing like he is currently until he reaches the ages of 36 or 37.

without an international trophy?

Same stale meaningless shiiit you say all the time. There are footballers with more international trophy than Messi or Ronaldo. Does that automatically make them world best?

Is it football you watch or their international Trophy shelf, because I know if you watch football you wont be here saying this stale shiit.

Even if Messi won no award or trophy or Ballon D'or before, a blind person will still know that he's better than Tapnaldo.

The only footballer who ever existed to get that title and the first ever to get it.


Like I used to say, it takes some amount of wackness to say Tap-in-aldo is better than Messi. Your taste must be quite mediocre.
That's why Divenaldo has a lot of local wack-base fans on Nairaland and other inconsequential places while intelligent people, professionals, great footballers, retired football legends, managers, football analysts and other great minds out there are the Messi fans.

Another footballer might exist to beat Messi someday but as at now, Messi is the Icon of football/soccer and it's a big insult comparing one Penaldo to him.

Ronaldo no doubt is one of the greatest scorer ever, but Messi is the overall greatest of all times.
Ronaldo is not even the greatest scorer ever. kindly checked their goal ratio and if possible compare the number of games they have both played, then you'll realize that Ronaldo isn't a better scorer than Messi cos he has played more games than Messi.

how Messi take achieve more than Ranaldo. you guys reasoning atimes is quite mediocre (no pun intended). someone that won 4 eufa champions league in 5yrs and has proven himself in 4 different top leagues.
is that what you call achievement?.more than 10 other players won't 4 uefa champions league in 5 years.what makes him stand out?.what re his individual achievements?.as long as football is concerned, Messi has more trophies,more awards,more assists than CR7. Cr7 only has more goals than him and when u consider the number of games played by both players,you will be ashamed to say CR7 has more goals. Messi is miles ahead of CR7

Ronald has been cheated out, He deserved that award but
instead FIfa gave it Modric.
Even if they ranked Ronaldo against odion Ighalo,
Fifa will not choose Ronald.
Do you know the 1st player to win the ballon d'or without winning any trophy?...he is d real fraud. Voting even has to be extended that year so that d fraud guy could win. I leave u to ur conscience

bro, most of those people shouting "CR7" are actually doing that becoz of their hatred for Messi, deep down in them; they know Messi plays better football but hatred has blinded their outward judgment. One CR7 fan once admitted to me that he is solidly behind CR7 becoz of his hatred for Messi but that Messi sincerely plays better but he can't just admit that in public. #MESSIX The only true GOAT

MESSI IS TRULY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.

Ronaldo fans, listen and listen good......

Messi was created and born to play football,
the others came to this world to learn the game, and they mastered it....rightly so anyways.

This is the ONLY difference between Messi and the rest that many people do not understand!

MESSI is the G.O.A.T.

Back then, the world cup was everything. Today, players are not judged based on the world cup but club performance. Ask Wesley Sneijder, Iniesta of 2010, 2014 Germany or 2018 France players why they didn't win the balon d' or.

TruthHurts100:


Without winning anything with his star-studded Argentine team. He will go down in history as the king of retirement. Whenever he fails, he retires and when the failure has been covered by time, the coward come back again and still fail. The worst national team captain ever. How can you lose a penalty that costs your team the world cup and you announce your fake retirement? And you're the freaking captain? Who is supposed to take the blame?

It's an insult comparing this guy to Cristiano Ronaldo. Anybody can dribble 5000 players ooo, but that doesn't mean they are a complete footballer, especially if they have never played outside Barcelona and when they do play outside Barcelona, they have never won a bottle cover.

Ronaldinho is even centuries better than this Argentine.

Goat indeed.

Ps: I Sha nor mention name, I nor give am the privilege. Two names mentioned. Great complete footballers. grin grin grin
Star studded Higuain grin

My dear shut up and listen when experts talk. Ronaldo nazario was never among the best 3 or 4 because he lacked longevity. Messi we all know is a great player but is now racing against time. Ronaldo is likely to beat him cos he's clocking towards 36 and is still on top of his game, now the question is: can Messi have that longevity like him??
That's where Ronaldo will beat him because he's likely to play much longer at a top level than Messi. With their current 50:50 ratio, the player with superior longevity will certainly be regarded as being the superior player.

Remember, buffon is ahead of Casillas today because of his longevity and not what he achieved. We all know that Iker Casillas was a better goalkeeper than Gigi
