Respect for C7 and messy

All hail the goat

The difference is all his records is about GOALS! and I respect that and I see him as probably the best goal scorer ever. (Statistically, Messi is)

There's more to football than that. It is the chances created, assists, dribbles and overall contribution to a team that some others like Dinho, De Lima, Zidane, Maradona, Pele, Messi edge him for ME in this GOAT debate.

Remove the goals and he's just a regular player....but you can't remove the goals so he is Top 10.

There was a goals machine before him named Gerd Muller, he was respected for the goals he scored and rightfully so, but was never included in the conversation of all time greats.

nice records but nothing campared to messi personal records in Europe n LA liga..
for example messi did 91 goals in a calendar year n still d striker wit d most golden boot won..
in spain, Leo once scored 21 goals in LA liga consecutively...azin messi scored a gaol in 21 straight game n even cr7 longest streak was just 10...DTS consistency bro
cr7 is a goal machine BT Leo with d goals can also be decisive in a game without d goals...over 200+ man of d match won since 2010 is no joke bro

You said La liga record held by Ronaldo.......Wetin UCL dey do there?

Abi you padd the La liga records with UCL to make am look beautiful?

All those players you mentioned who has more assists, more Free kicks, more chances created, more defensive duties than Ronaldo?

Man of the match against teams like Eibar... Swerve

meaning he av been playing elba for d past 12 years abi??
I said he have d most man of d match accolade since 2010 playing in all competitions n u calling elba..
dis same leo av scored almost 20+ goals against all ur EPL top 6 clubs he av faced n u calling elba
dis same leo won best player in Olympic, u-20, worldcup, copa America and ur cr7 couldn't even win man of d match against any of Germany, France or Belgium he faced in Euros, d only MVP he won in euros was against Hungary n u calling elba....hypocrite

obonujoker:

Lionel messi has all more than cr7....check ur stats bro...u can avoid a case for defensive duties because we all know dt none of dm do track back n mark bt recently messi av eclipsed cr7 most free kick scored....google dnt do break my gee...

so on point....cr7 is just a goal machine n messi is also doing mad numbers with goals stats n even have more golden boot than cr7..
the goals aside, messi is more influential n decisive than cr7, cr7 looks lost or too flat in games when not scoring unlike messi dt would lay key assist to his mates..
injuries aside, messi can play effectively till 40 as a playmaker bt i dnt see cr7 playing dt longer when his goals dries up because clubs would always prefer a younger n vibrant goal scorer..
DTS why barca gave him a 5 year deal n PSG ar still praying to sign him n dts why juve cnt renew cr7 contract bcoz its just goals
u think if Juve gats messi, dey won't gv him a life contract??
u just need sharp n serious attackers to better a team with messi....dts d difference..

obonujoker:

Obviously, Ronaldo has more balon dors, personal awards, free kicks, assists and MOTM awards.
If these parameters make Ronaldo better than those guys then he should never be compared to Messi cos Messi is superior in all that you have mentioned.

What is this one saying.... did u just say there is more to football that goals?? Inukwa... so y do they run around, dribble, pass , tackle , shoot , collect yellow card , collect ted card , scream at players or ref , cry , celebrate... its all for the win and without goals there can never be celebrations ... u cant win without scoring goals...if u like , dribble ur destiny and pass the ball the ur player that had only the open net to score...if there are no goals or goal...all those stuff u mentioned will b useless

Some mumu are comparing a player that played there for 9 yrs to the one that has played for 17 yrs plus another new 5 years

sure, same way dt no player can do it alone by Scoring just goals, cr7 offers nothing without scoring n u dnt expect him to score in all d matches because hia goals av already dried up due to age..
messi still offers a lot even without scoring n assisting in a game

Mosesvic11:

those are bad nights n nothing compared to d numerous nites he had done It personally..
at least all i see are big names....compared to ur cr7 dt is exploring only to lose UCL to common teams like Lyon n porto...dt wan worst na

There was a goals machine before him named Gerd Muller, he was respected for the goals he scored and rightfully so, but was never included in the conversation of all time greats.

He's a great goal scorer, just like Gerd Muller was. I wonder why Muller was never rated alongside Pele, Maradona, Cruyff etc. Maybe because PR was not a thing then. Or maybe footballers were rated then by how they actually contributed to their teams, not just in terms of goals and the hairstyle they were wearing.

impossible to see a player like him again....he tops all the major tournament in football. champions league,europe,league,international and world cup. GOAT.

Actually, no they won't. Goals are the most important part of the game no doubt but there is more to football beyond the goals just like I said earlier.

The greatest players on earth are judged beyond the goals, Cruyff, Pele, Maradona, Platini etc. all those who are true greats of the game weren't just about the goals.
That's why a defender and a midfielder can be best player in a year. I get that goal scorers get the headlines, but the greatest footballer of all time conversation can't be reduced to just goals.

Even at the goals, statistically, he is still behind Messi.

Are you saying Ronaldo doesn't know how to dribble? You mean he doesn't create chances? What about his speed, have you forgotten his jump power? Is Ronaldo not a good free kick taker? Do you mean Ronaldo doesn't support the defense? What are you trying to prove pls?

The answer is Messi does it better than him. And superior cannot be below the inferior.

Says who?

Can messi defend better than Ronaldo?

Messi is more comfortable in the air than Ronaldo right?

Messi's speed is greater than that of Ronaldo's right?

Messi's right leg is better than Ronaldo's left leg or messi has scored more goals with his right leg than Ronaldo's left leg right?

Messi's goals is fewer than Ronaldo's

I can continue to mention what you easily failed to look into during your analysis.

You dey mind the idiot.
Messi score 91 goals a calendar year. No one can do that feat.
Let me see who will score 92 a calendar year. It's even in the guiness book of record.
This mumu author is talking trash.

Read carefully to understand what I wrote. Read through the message of the person I replied too. Who is praising Messi?
