My brother, talent is never enough. Hardwork will take you far.

Messi is drifting away from the box, while Ronaldo is moving to the box. It is likely Ronaldo will score more goals than Messi in the coming years.

Messi just runs around these days, while Ronaldo has become one of the dealiest and finest finisher.

Happy Birthday to Messi.
which makes me wonder why Messi is more clinical and has a better goal per game ratio .

Only in Barcelona.
Let him show us he can perform in an average team, Argentina is even more than an average team.

I wasn't going to answer you! But I'll make an exception today cos I'm sick of people hating on a fine footballer cos they simply want to paint their own favourite as better!
Messi is Argentina's all time top scorer!
He has leaded the team, at least almost singlehandedly "in attack" to three consecutive major finals, so much that his performance was very standout in all! He was Golden boot winner at Brazil (4 consecutive MOTM awards) , Copa America best player in 2015. His brilliance hatrick against equador qualified Argentina at the very last against a spirited fellow south America side.

Now to simplify my point, before Aguero's goal against Iceland, the last time any other player, not named Messi, scored for Argentina was in November 2016, almost 2 years ago! Yet, in your judgement, he doesn't turn up for his country!!!!!!!!!!!

Please allow those who actually watch football consistently to draw the conclusions! I don't remember your MCM playing at a World cup final either!

Happy birthday to a former great player

Ronaldo has surpassed you in every way imaginable but yet I still wish you all the best in your coming retirement from football


Messi has the record of Ninety-one goals in a year, 73 in one season...he did it as a 27 year old.

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277/la-liga/2014/11/23/6417011/ninety-one-goals-in-a-year-73-in-one-season-four-golden

So, never ever say Ronaldo has surpassed messi in every imaginable way...that record I posted can never ever be surpassed by Ronaldo even if his mum give birth to him again for him to start afresh.

RexTramadol1:






How will strikers around Messi do their work if he's always waiting for them to do the work and he just finishes



Even with the fact that Messi doesn't move into the box frequently, he still gets his goals




The world cup is just a tournament and his team doesn't have a playmaker, he has to drop deep in the absence of Lanzini at the world cup



It's a known fact that if he has an half chance, there's a huge probability that he'd score



But he's nuh getting such providence from his team mates.
Wow so a penalty,free kick and almost 15 shots are a quarter chance grin grin some Messi fans sha
He's had a bad game stop making excuses Ronaldo also has bad games so stop with the excuses

Oga, Messi has won the last two Euro golden shoes! scored 54 in 206/17 to Ronaldo's 41. Scored 48 in 2018 season to Ronaldo's 44 despite the fact we all know he plays OUTSIDE the box, which has always been his natural role. Yes, he's had a bad WC and bad day at Roma, but don't make seem like Ronaldo has been consistent in the last two years! Only Madrid champions league wins have made Ronaldo look better. Those who watch games week in week out know who's actually struggling in front of goal. Ronaldo usually takes tens of shots before he eventually gets his goal. Messi almost doesn't get an sniff of the ball for 20mins and before u know, it's in from nowhere! That's why he has scored 600+ in 700+ games! A deadly ratio! I'm not taking anything away from Cristiano! he's an amazing finisher and playing to his strengths even at 33, but don't make it seem he's doesn't have his offs! Or didn't u watch football last season?

That's why I hate M/cr7 arguments. They are so pathetic and make me want to vomit sometimes
Yhh bro I agree Ronaldo has his offs,ion like people that base the better player just on Wc that just started.I'm a Ronaldo fan but I respect Messi and the fact that he's on another level as Ronaldo just as a true football fan should respect any good and extraordinary player
Only one thing Ronaldo''s goal ratio betters Messi that's one thing u can't take away Ronaldo is the king of goals,Messi is the king of Magical play

Don't mind them . Ronaldo has had three bad previous World Cup tournaments but was never heavily critized like Messi is now . Messi had his own moment before him in 2014 but they till never acknowledged his greatness then. Just because he is off now he becomes a nobody .

I just pity Messi situation in world football. The pressure is too much on him. For him it is a case of you must perform whether you like it or not , while for Ronaldo he doesn't have to perform . Ronaldo bad days are often overlooked while his good days are over celebrated to the high heaven (kudos to European media ). While Messi on the other hand gets little or no praise when he does something magestic. It is clear that most people wait for Messi's few times of failure just to get at him . Same people never applaud him when he does good becomes to them he has to do it .

Two examples was when he singlehandedly knocked out Chelsea out of the champions league , little was written about him and his greatness after the match but immediately he went off against Roma due to nursing injury the whole European attacked him for being too casual .

Another is when he took Argentina to the World Cup with a Hatrick , the European media felt reluctant to eulogies him as much as they do when he fails . They never talked about him being the only scorer for the so called world class Argentina team in 19 months in an official match . But they are quick to rubbish him for having two bad games in 2018 . While Ronaldo is being worshipped for finally having his best tournament outing for Portugal in decades .
Believe me bro if Messi gets half the hate Ronaldo gets he would crumble.I'm not here to debate who's better or not or take away Messi's achievement's by downplaying him but in an average team Ronaldo would outperform Messi that's an established truth and they both have bad games just stopa king excuses for Messi he's had bad games that's all
Like they say form is temporary,class is permanent.

it's indeed funny that Ronaldo's deluded fans only use goals as a yardstick derive at their conclusion.. But the most mind-blowing fact still remains that Ronaldo does not even score more that Messi.

Oh he has in a lot of ways actually like being Europe's top scorer for 5 consecutie seasons ever heard of the greatest player in the history of UEFA Champions league? U sure know already
These two have achieved a lot so don't paint one black to prove your point of the other being the best

Okay, please check their individual goal stats since 2009...Or better still check their Overall goal/assist record bearing in mind how many more matches Ronaldo has played over Messi.

I still don't believe that saying that Ronaldo will outshine Messi in an average team . Present Real Madrid team is better than Barca but still Messi still wins loads of trophies for them .
The people that hate Ronaldo don't hate him because of football, they hate him because they feel he is too arrogant, selfish and proud due to ways he has acted on opponents and playmates alike . Displaying public show of hatred and anger towards fellow team mate during and after matches .

While most people that hate Messi do so because they feel he is a rival to Ronaldo based on footballing skills . A man united fan once told me he hate Messi because he is too good , I was shocked .
