U are so funny with the talk of Ronaldo never ousted Messi in any competition... It shows I was even wasting my time on a lost delusional sheep... By the way, eto 09 , Pedro 1st goal and villa winning goal made the difference in 2011, Messi just added the 3rd... He never scored an opening goal, equalising goal or winning goal in those u mentioned... That's what they call decisive
it is either u don't watch matches or u don't know what to watch when viewing football ball.
Messi scored the goal that sealed up the match at UCL '09.
Messi was the man that created villa's goal. It got to another Barcelona player b4 getting to villa's foot. u weren't aware of messi's influence bcus it wasn't in stat that Messi made the assist (when u quickly browsed out the summary of the match). And chance created is scarcely recorded in match stats.
Let me tell u 2 things u need to know
1. Goals and assist isn't the only shiit in a football game {messi and iniesta were decisive at UCL 2015 despite not recording a goal}.

2. U need to start watching live matches nowadays to compliment ur zeal for football. If u keeping updating urself with stats and match summary, u wouldnt know who played really well or who did bad despite recording a goal.
{that's exactly why I don't pack stats when debating abt smtin and prefer using logic with u}

I still don't agree with u...

Henry win everything as well in football just like zidane but zidane will always b ahead of him... Ask urself this question, y were those players mentioned ?? Now Pele was outstanding for Brazil and Santos ,won titles with them, maradona was outstanding as well , won titles with Argentina ( 2 Copa America and a WC) and lowly Napoli , zidane WC ,euros ,WC and champions League with real Madrid and league titles with juventus, don't forget when he said he had to win the CL to b mentioned amongst the greats after loosing back to back CL final with juventus ... Cr7 is the first player in history to win league titles in the 3 major Leagues and was the outstanding player in those teams, winning top scorer for those teams and winning best player in those leagues, also won the euros and nations league with lowly Portugal, a team that had never featured in any major final in history till he was called up , a team that had only previously featured in 3 WCs b4 he joined the team .... He is the second highest goal scorer in the history of world football ahead of GERD Muller (Germany ), Pele ( Brazil) and Messi ( Argentina) ... It's unfair to say that a Messi that has only done extremely well for Barcelona is a better player... Ronaldo wasn't just in those teams , he was the best player in those teams ... U guys are just so hateful and so biased
1. which one is 3 major leagues??
2. Messi is a better player than anybody the guy u quoted mentioned
3. Some Messians blived bcus messi is the best player the world has ever seen, so he deserve the title.

Busting ur ignorant bubbles. Ronaldo wasn't decisive in UCL 2014, UCL 2016 and UCL 2018 finale. I.e 3 out of 5
The world needed him most at UCL 2014 final, he couldn't deliver until ramos scored a header in the last breathe of the game.

Then u can also say Messi has never delivered as well cos it was eto that scored the winning goal in 09 , Messi scored to seal the win...Ramos scored as well , but Ronaldo scored to seal the win in 2014... In 2016 , Ronaldo scored the decisive penalty to lift the cup , so he was decisive as well... In 08 , he scored the opener against Chelsea , that was a crucial goal as well cos if he didn't, Chelsea would hv scored the only goal of that game

The three biggest leagues in Europe are the English league ( he conquered) Spanish league ( he conquered) Italian league ( also conquered) he is the first and only man to conquer the 3 biggest leagues in Europe....no one has ever done that...

Guadiola is a better coach presently cos he has proved himself outside Barca...
But mourinho on record has achieved more ... The only reason y we can say guadiola is better is because mourinho hasn't performed or won a major title in over 4 yrs now ... Ronaldo and Messi is a different case , cos they are still performing, non has dropped form...

UCL finale match is the biggest game on club level.
Madrid were leading 3-1 b4 Ronaldo scored, chances of comeback is slim. Ramos was the MOTM (2014)
He couldn't score till the match was dragged to penalty. why does he have to be the one for the last play, he was forcing glory. (2016)
Ronaldo 2018 did score a single goal, and remember when he doesn't score he is as good as useless.

Messi was Fan MOTM in '09 with a goal that sealed victory

Messi was uefa and fan MOTM 2011 he gave Barcelona the lead goal
if u did watch the 2011 final match, can you explain how Villa scored his third goal??

Guardiola won league title {back to back , FYI} at Spain, Germany and England.
100 point (the highest) to win Premier League (ur so-hyped numero 1 league).
All 6 club trophies winable in his first season as senior manager.

But mourinho also did the treble with Inter and Porto... Guadiola took up teams that were already used to winning league titles... Guadiola left but Barca still winning la Liga.. he also left Bayern and they are still winning bundesliga like they used to b4 he arrived...

In a football team, there are eleven players: defenders, midfielders and strikers. They all have obligations to fulfill in each match, according to the positions they occupy on the pitch. It's just a pity that the media is excessively focused on forwards. Those who score the goals have the spotlight focused on them, while all others who contribute to every other facet of the game apart from goalscoring are largely ignored. For the first time since 2006, FIFA is appreciating that football is bigger than scoring goals. We saw it last year when Modric won the Ballon d'or, and it could also happen this year if Van Dijk wins it too.

Secondly, Portugal is not a lowly team. Rui Patricio is a brilliant goalkeeper. Pepe, Jose Fonte and Bruno Alves are all world-class centre-backs. Raphael Guerrero is doing well at Dortmund Borrusia. Cedric is average, but his game is really improving. William Carlvaho is the brain behind Real Betis dominating Barcelona in terms of ball possession this season. I would put him in the same class with Sergio Busquets. A veritable midfield boss. Andre Gomes, Joao Moutinho, Renato Sanches are not bad players. Goncalo Guides was outstanding for Valencia this past season. What would I say about Bernardo Silva, or Quaresma? My dear, Portugal is a fairly good team, and Ronaldo has great teammates surrounding him in his national side. Besides the team has a great coach who has been more than able to coordinate that team.

Messi is obviously a better individual player than Ronaldo, though I must confess that Ronaldo is far more ambitious. The former relies mainly on his talent and technical genius too much- he is too laidback for my liking. However, if he had teammates who supplied what he lacked as a player, he would have with their help won something with Argentina. But his teammates don't help matters. They rely on him too much... obviously they fail to recognize that he's just a "laidback" genius who has nothing else to offer than talent and immense technical abilities.

But still at that, Messi is better than Ronaldo or any other player in history. The GOAT title was originally meant for him. Ronaldo's fans stole the title because they thought their icon is giving the Argentine a run for his money. Of course, they would always supply useless stats to prove a futile point. But Messi is that kind of player that whatever stats you supply in his favour would not do justice to what he has contributed to the game. A laidback genius quite alright, but a pure genius. 100% genius.

Of course, I expect dissent to my opinion. I expect to see some express that the Portuguese Ronaldo is the rightful GOAT. No problem. Just conduct my little experiment of taking Messi out of the picture, and compare the Portuguese Ronaldo with Maradona, De Lima, Zidane, Pele, Rivaldo. You'd see the stupidity in that claim with your own eyes.

My dear, Portugal is a fairly good team, and Ronaldo has great teammates surrounding him in his national side. Besides the team has a great coach who has been more than able to coordinate that team.

Messi is obviously a better individual player than Ronaldo, though I must confess that Ronaldo is far more ambitious. The former relies mainly on his talent and technical genius too much- he is too laidback for my liking. However, if he had teammates who supplied what he lacked as a player, he would have with their help won something with Argentina. But his teammates don't help matters. They rely on him too much... obviously they fail to recognize that he's just a "laidback" genius who has nothing else to offer than talent and immense technical abilities.

But still at that, Messi is better than Ronaldo or any other player in history. The GOAT title was originally meant for him. Ronaldo's fans stole the title because they thought their icon is giving the Argentine a run for his money. Of course, they would always supply useless stats to prove a futile point. But Messi is that kind of player that whatever stats you supply in his favour would not do justice to what he has contributed to the game. A laidback genius quite alright, but a pure genius. 100% genius.

Of course, I expect dissent to my opinion. I expect to see some express that the Portuguese Ronaldo is the rightful GOAT. No problem. Just conduct my little experiment of taking Messi out of the picture, and compare the Portuguese Ronaldo with Maradona, De Lima, Zidane, Pele, Rivaldo. You'd see the stupidity in that claim with your own eyes.

U say messis team mates ar not helpful like he plays for some Bosnia or Cameroon ... Now learn from the stats below... And tell me Hu has his team t contributing more

What are you on about

Both have won champions League
Both have won the Premiership
Kanu has won African football player of the year twice
Kanu has won Olympic Gold medal
Kanu has been listed in the top 6 FIFA player of the year
Moses has won Nations cup

Please how is Moses better than Kanu
Kanu has no international trophy!!! He won nothing for Nigeria!! Olympic and Under 20 WC is nothing in Messi's discussion. Let's make it nothing in Kanu's discussion too... Victor Moses and Sunday Mba were more 'useful' for Nigeria than Kanu will ever be..

Kanu won those awards because of his performance in the club and for having world best teammates...

Victor Moses practically carried Nigeria on his Shoulder in 2013 AFCON!!!

I know it pains Messi fanatics that he has not won any trophies for Argentina senior national team. I suggest instead coming up with all sorts of excuses, Messi fanatics should start months of prayers and fasting ... grin
I am not a Messi fanatic. I am hardcore liverpool and Gerrad freak. Great foitballers and coaches knows MESSI is football. Naija analyst have no eye for football. JUMPING TO BIG TEAMS TO WIN TROPHY IS ORDINARY.

Messi is in denial, he blamed his recent failures at Copa 2019 on the "football pitch" grin grin
Interestingly, Messi fanatics are also in denial, they sometimes claim not to be obsessed with Messi and obstinately blame others for Messi's failures grin grin grin...

I even tot I was even arguing with an informed analyst... I dint even know u don't even know anything apart from Barca and Messi... That's the reason y u are not well informed...

So u don't know mourinho did back to back with Chelsea , inter Milan and Porto in his first seasons there... So u don't know he won treble with Porto twice and once with inter..
Frank rijkaard was the person that set up Barca and not guadiola for ur info

I'm done with u...tot I was even arguing with someone that knows football eni4real is even way more informed than u ...just that he is biased...and I understand as a fan
This was how u shld have answered my question (s)
1. Mourinho won treble with inter only {I asked u dis qst bcus u said he won treble with Porto, and with ur statement I felt you don't know wat a treble is generally referred to (UCL, League cup, and the country's league 1 title)}
5. Mourinho did a back to back with Chelsea { in this question I was only referring to EPL}
(ps: guess I was ignorant that mourinho did it at Chelsea in his first spell there)
THINGS U WERE IGNORANT ABT
1. What a treble is generally referred to as
2. the context of "back-to-back " I was referring to
3. U don't really know anything abt Barcelona, if u did, u won't be mentioning rijkaard . if u had called Cruyff, it would still be tolerably debatable.
So don't go down that lane at all!!!
4. eni4real knows football STATS than I do, and I admit. But did u notice he hasn't convinced u nor u 'him. Everyone could tweak stats based on wat favors u or ur opinion. Dats why I prefer logic.
there is one guy on this thread (maybe this page sef) , convincing u that if messi is removed from the picture how the jigsaw of Ronaldo being the GOAT won't fit at all, if he had said these same thing with stats, u would have bombarded him with stats that suits u.
In some other thread, I purposely asked u a QST concerning Messi et Ronaldo "who is greater battle" , from u and Jokerman response, if the day eventually comes, u see hw speechless u would be. Just as u couldn't bring up anything for mourinho that Guardiola hasn't trampled upon, (where as there are other bullet of stats for Guardiola in his arsenal)
SmH... Take my advice tho, and start watching football.
