The reason why Ronaldo and Messi are the greatest players of our generation is because of each other. In all honesty if there was no Ronaldo to compete with, Messi may probably have been just another skillful South American player like hundreds of others. And vice versa. Sometimes in life one enemy or rival can be more valuable than 10 friends. Your next level may just be one enemy away.

i think you are right. competition cause people to put in their best

Penaldo

Nonsense...outshine by playing penalties.?? Football sense is warped in recent times.

The same penalty that the likes of Ciro IMMOBILE scores on a steady basis..football is gone..

Who would have played the penalty if Barca was given one?
Abi weere niyin

So we should remove penalty from football?

bayelsaowei:
so what's special about it? Whats special about scoring 2 penalties in a match?

hater spotted

Which match is the op talking about abeg?
Certainly not the one I watched last night

I don't see penalty as anything special. Thats my point.. all the while messi was scoring penalties i never counted it as an achievement..I love to see messi get into the game, give assists and score open goals. Penalties are just penalties..with VAR now a fool can even become the highest goal scorer in any league via penalties.

Penalty is what Bruno fernandez scores every now and then..nothing special.

So whats the outshine there?

for every penalty scored by Ronaldo , the pain goes straight to camp nou

Messi got 7 shots on target while ronaldo didn't get any shot on target aside d 2 penalties. Messi played better yesterday but Ronaldo scored 2 goals. Buffon is wicked to Messi

i just said football is gone completely...penalties now equates to outshining another player..

The point is that Ronaldo was missing in the entire game except for when he played the penalty while Messi did the most and was the man of the match.

it doesn't go anywhere...both teams qualified into the round of 16.. it didn't even affect messi in any way.

its not about haters. Its about how dead football is..

Penalties now determines who was prolific in a match? Its an all time low i must say..

bayelsaowei:
very silly headline from the OP..outshine by surfacing for penalties and staying off the radii during play.

Messi infact needs to leave barca for all this useless analysis to stop.

Heya!

Messi scored a penalty against juve and was praised, Ronaldo returning the favour and they are crying. Bunch of lunatics, messi having more penalty goals than open play goals yet they are all over this thread spewing thrash on penalty. Idiot's

No one said it is special or not. The fact remains, he was on the score sheet last night and Messi wasn't.
I am not hating on any of them. As a matter of fact, it was nice seeing both of them after a long time.
That's football.... You think if penalty was awarded to Barca yesterday, Messi won't convert? Will he say "oh because its penalty, its not special, I won't play it"?

Think am well... No dey hate abeg

petux:
You clearly don't have an idea of what you're talking about. Messi was the best player on the pitch last night . Created the most chances, the most passes and shots on target. Then buffon too. Apart from the two penalties, Ronaldo was inconsequential in that team yesterday...

Apart from what? The goals? Seriously

Outshine gini,even Juventus players knows messi was man of the match last night

Is it not the same penalty Messi scored first leg

By scoring penalty goals

Ronaldo scored 2 penalties but Messi played better in that match. If you think otherwise then stop watching football



Anybody can score or lose penalties

Earthquakes:
Hehehe
He obviously outshined him just that it's from the Penalty spot

Where's that woman hand going to land?

Messi fans will always b bitter hypocrites...thats what they are known for...they hit u and messi 3.0 at camp nou and u are here saying he played better...hu 4kin cares...he lost 3.0... who gives man of the match to someone that lost 3.0?? Delusional psychotic fans... messi's all 3 goals in the CL this season are all penalties and u guys a criticising Ronaldo's 2 penalties... messi has also scored about 6 penalties out of his 8 goals in the league this season... out of ronaldos 12 goals this season , 4 are penalties and these psychotic hypocritical messi fans don't wanna carry their very massive L ... now its no more assist, its now game play and shots on target ...
U messi fans are the dumbest fans in the world

Lamasta:

Is it not the same penalty Messi scored first leg

thats why it doesn't matter...penalty is just as basic as it comes..immobile has a lot of it..same for Bruno...

How can playing penalty mean outshine?

the outshine part is what I am harping on..that word doesn't fit what happened yesterday. Penalty in a match that had nothing at state apart from maybe individuals who placed bets.

Its just generic.

sanity12:

it wasn't special..penalty against juve isn't a special feat. When did football prowess and proficiency dovetail into taking penalties? Football is really dead.

Seriously. Ronaldo didn't play anything. Buh scored a penalty.

CR7 had 3 shots on target get your facts right

paulolee:
he didn't outshine messi bcoz barca won in all aspects of the game except the scoreboard..
messi was the best player on that pitch in all aspects bt his team keeps letting him down..
thumbs up to cr7 for those goals and its a pity dt barca finished second in dt easy group..
cr7 av won the battle, lets wait for the war next year after the draws this Friday..
am confident abt barca going far n even winning it bcoz election is next Jan, alot wud av changed b4 dt February..
messi n barca would always bounce Back bcoz dts wat champs do..

bro!!! I pray and hope so oooo
