Those players were just lucky playing alongside the Goats

Like for both goat

Next thing you will hear now is;

"Why Is Ronaldo's GOAT bigger than Messi's GOAT?

We fans sef.

joviegghead:
Hmm. Let me be objective. Ronaldo is great, fantastic, super.
Messi is divine.
I don't know why it's so hard to see.
How can one player, lead the charts for goals scored, assists, dribbles completed, chances created and more, while the other is only goal-famous and you still ask who is better?
How can one player out class all midfielders in Europe? This same player does the job of all wingers better? How this same player outscore all strikers?

Remember, Ronaldo has played about 120 games than Messi yet the output Messi has produced defies understanding and surpassing everyone.

Imagine: I give 2 guys to cook. The first guy in one hours cooked rice and chicken. The second guy, in 45 mins, cooked rice, chicken, salad, soup, moin moin, spaghetti and more.

And you're asking which one will I pick?

Messi is the GOAT. If you like Ronaldo because he is handsome or flashy, that's your problem.

This is one of the most unbiased , and most logical comment I have read on NL.
You are sagacious bro.

I observed something that.. When MOST of those players made their comments about each of these 2 Kings, when they are yet to achieve what they achieved today.. I'm talking about the likes of Pique in Man Utd with Ronaldo(Ronaldo yet to hit his Peak then) Heinze made his comments in 2008(even Messi was yet to win UCL but he backed CR7- imagine), the likes of Deco, Gago
ETC ...These 2 Kings hit the ground after some of those old players career started dwindling! They don't meet in dressing room nor in training.. Sort of myopia! Lol.. ha-ha

ODJ124:
Congrats to him....
And juventus will win the Champions League....

Winners Chapel....

When I ever am opportunited to watch Messi play I keep saying wow. I am not a fan though but definitely Messi is the best player I have watched. Ronaldo is a goal and fitness machine.

vicetuh:
LIKE IT OR NOT BOTH ARE GREAT BUT CR7 HAS EDGE OUT...... LET MESSI WIN INTERNATIONAL TROPHY WITH THE QUALITY PLAYER HE HAS IN ARGENTINA. CR7 WON ONE WITH A TEAM THAT IS BELOW IN AVERAGE.

individual stats bro...Pogba won world cup does it mean he is better than messi.

lordkay10:

You've said it all. Most CR7 fans are just sentimental because of his looks, you need not argue with them because they all know Messi is the best but it's hard for them to admit, they're in a state of cognitive dissonance.
Even the Ronaldo they worship knows Messi is better than him

it’s not about sentiment, we Ronaldo fans acknowledge Messi to be better aesthetically, but like they say in management- there’s no one best way to do things so long as it leads to result. So we prefer Ronaldo’s way due to number of factors like his adaptability, mental strength, leadership skills, etc. which has made us believe Ronaldo edges out Messi as the better player. Messi on the otherhand has his strengths too in ball playing, passing, dribbling,etc. but has become a master of specialization seeing as he’s played in Spain all through. That’ll always come up against him when talking of his greatness.
This no be fight. A Ronaldo fan can acknowledge Messi’s greatness but y’all Messi most times feel the need to degrade Ronaldo’s greatness just to elevate Messi.
We can agree to disagree, but as for me n my household we shall always prefer Ronaldo.
Ps. I respect opposing opinions. To each his preference

AustineCJ:
Dmaria choose Messi after he has left Madrid..... he wouldn't have choosen any had it been he is still in Madrid with Ronaldo. check at Dybala, Semedo they all went on draw cause they don't want to offend any. After nigerian politicains fear Footballers .

no lies bro...still waiting for dt player with balls dt wud choose without fear or bias..

Mariangeles:


He made that statement to intentionally spite Real Madrid...I think he was having problems with them at the time.
...and you know Perez hardly joked with anything that had to do with Ronaldo.

Going by his (Di Maria's) statement, you can observe how he emphasized and stretched it a bit further, while other players when asked were always careful with their words.

no lies bro....d key thing is dt, he is not playing with cr7 wen he made d statement...

fergie001:

If you had asked Di Maria whilst he was in Madrid, he won't give you a verdict but for now he is off Madrid and off United (CR7's second home), he can tell you Messi because of the National Team.

Synonymous with if you ask Semedo now, he won't give you an answer...the moment he leaves Barca..he will sing Ronaldo to the world.

yeah u right bro...de all chicken hearted players and gat no balls...mayb its professionalism..

paulolee:

It is professionalism.....I can only subject myself to Tevez's own.

All ones wey say the two players good nor want talk their minds . Dem know know say na the short magician good pass

Messi reached the World Cup final, Ronaldo never neared it. Messi won Olympic Gold Medal as well as Junior World Cup Medal, Ronaldo never neared them. Every competition that includes both Messi and Ronaldo, Messi goes farther than Ronaldo. EURO is a competition that doesn't have to involve Messi.

All those ones wey say the two players good nor want talk their minds . Dem know say na the short magician good pass

Blood is stronger than water, remove the Argentina footballers and Portugal footballers opinion because it'll always be biased, then let's settle the issue after that.

Messi is the greatest footballer in the world after Ronaldo .

Until Messi wins champion league trophy from an English club or Italian clubs, Ronaldo is the GOAT. Baca familiarity is working for Messi that's why he is doing badly in country football. Ronaldo has proven himself from country and 5 major league. Running in a place like Messi is an insult comparing him to A mobile Ronaldo. CR7 is GOAT

Righteousness89:
For me the greatest player is Nigeria's little Messi! I have forgotten his name!

That our under 17 guy!

let me help u his name is Stanley okoro.... lol

LOL maybe GOAT in Baseball or some other sports, not football, because only a mentally ill patient, which you are pretending to be, would debate about CRISTIANO RONALDO being the Greatest of all times GOAT in Football anywhere in the universe

paulolee:

That was how his relationship with Real Madrid fell irreparably apart. He was shipped off to Man Utd after that... even his career took a downturn
Nobody messes with Fiorentino Perez! (The godfather of modern football)

Messi can be a Good Magician if he likes, but “CR7 Remains the Greatest footballer to set foot on earth, until I make a duplicate of him.
-Allah the giver of children

Both are the greatest..

oga you nor know football

I don’t mind knowing a football, but I am well grounded in the game of football, as a sport, unlike you who studies a rubber football, learn about the game of football and know who the God of CR7 is. btw you can also refer to the football game as CR7, as he is the game itself.

Gerard Pique's expression sha. Ronaldo is the best of humans and Messi is not human.

obembet:
Arthur will become the 13th player to star alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The 23-year-old midfielder will link up with the Old Lady at the end of the season after a fee of £66million was agreed.

Messi vs Ronaldo is arguably football's biggest rivalry - and you're in one camp or the other. The verdict on who is the best will rage forever, but who better to judge which one comes out on top than those who have played with them?

Here, SunSport looks at the other 12 players to have graced the pitch with both and finds out which one they preferred.



Henrik Larsson
Swedish legend won the Champions League with Messi, early in the Barca star's career, and played 13 times alongside Ronaldo during his loan spell at Old Trafford.

But Larsson knows who he'd choose, saying: “Cristiano is unlucky to be playing at the same time as Messi.

"Ronaldo is a very good player, but Messi is even better.

“He is out of this world. He’s so good that it’s almost incredible.

"When you see him with the ball at his feet it’s hard to believe that anybody else could do the same. He’s a fantastic player to see.”

RESULT: Messi

Gerard Pique
Pique played with Ronaldo early in his own Man Utd career and is now a long-serving team-mate of Messi at the Nou Camp.

He has his favourite though, saying: “Cristiano is a perfect machine, a hard worker who always wants to improve.

“I always said that Messi has some talent that no one has.

"For me it’s like Messi is not human but [Ronaldo] is the best of the humans.”

RESULT: Messi



Who is the winner?
WITH six draws from the 12 players, many were either unsure of who is truly better or unwilling to rock the boat.

But of the six who did commit to giving an answer, FIVE chose Messi, with just one player picking Ronaldo.

Who do you think is the greatest?

Henrik Larsson's comment is the only objective comment. Others either played club side football wt one & national football wt the other or were either current or past team mates of one or the other, hence their assessment cannot be said to be unbiased.
I'll pick Messi over Ronaldo anyday, anytime, anywhere though.

Hmmmmmm trash

banhammy:
Messi : Barcelona champion.

Ronaldo: Real Madrid champion
Ronaldo: Manchester United champion
Ronaldo: Juventus champion
Ronaldo: Portugal European champion.

The rest is left for you to decide.

Oga na trash u dey talk, we are talking about individual brilliances not club or team achievements that is equal to collective effort...

If that is the yardstick to know the best player then give it to Dani Alves,Vidal, Ibrahimovic even Anelka. If u bring individual records and achievement on table, CR7 is nowhere near Messi but playing in different league is the only excuse u Ronaldo fan give to boost ur ego....

I know the players are afraid to call some one the real goat because If they don't, the other player who is also the president of the team will make sure that player in particular doesn't play both in his team and national team

Messi is the real GOAT[b][/b]

If messi is the Real goat let him leave barca and still prove himself by remaining or winning the world best or golden boot again.
