OJEEMAH: lol. Now compared to Ronaldo, Messi has more non penalty goals, more non penalty free kicks, more assists, highest goals scored in a season, played fewer games, has more individual awards, more international awards, more club awards, more ballon d’ors, more World Cup achievements, more golden boots …yet according to some people, Ronaldo is better than Messi simply because he has more penalties and played in more clubs. To be honest, the biggest mystery that would forever remain unsolved is how Ronaldo and his PR guys were able to convince atleast half of the soccerverse that he is remotely close to Messi 3 Likes 1 Share |

Contango:typo error. but still it only takes 2 non penalty goals from ronaldo to shattered that arguement that is if messi continue to struggle in the farmers league |

Contango:This is how it will look like with no penalty; messi not in the top20 for goals score in international football but ronaldo in top2. messi no longer the highest goalscoring player in a calender year[91 goals] messi would have gone 3 months without scoring a goal last season. no group stage goal for messi in the champions league last season. both messi and ronaldo would not have been golden boot winner this summer. so you see my friend, penalties is beneficial to both players. 1 Like 1 Share |

ojaysam25: But Messi started playing 3 years later than Ronaldo. Imagine if he had started just one year later than Ronaldo, I am pretty sure his total non penalty goals would have exceeded Ronaldo’s total number of goals with penalties inclusive |

Contango: Ronaldo started 02/03...messi started 04/ 05 ...how is that 3 yrs??.... Ronaldo started with a weak European team Lisbon....messi started with the best team in Europe as of that time Barcelona...with the best team mates |
Re: Could This Be Why Ronaldo Is Nicknamed “Penaldo”? by Contango(m): 2:00pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
ojaysam25: Fair enough. But the conclusion of the argument would be that Messi still eclipses Ronaldo in goal scoring and assist tally. Don’t forget that Messi is not a striker. He starts from the wing and shuffles around depending on need. Ronaldo is always around the 18yard box waiting to score. It is expected that he ought to have more goals that someone who is more of a midfielder |

Kingcalls: 1. You are missing the basic point. Messi has played all the positions except goal keeping, central defence and side back. 2. Messi has played central forward, Second striker, left wing, right wing, attacking midfield, central midfield and at some point in games, defensive midfield. As Pep, one of the most respected and experienced coaches would say, Messi is number 9, 10, 11, 8, 7, 6 and 4. 3. Most attackers don’t maintain the position the play. That someone is a striker on paper does not mean they maintain that position. Messi as a striker is not the same as Cavani or Lewandoski as striker. Most times, Messi is a false 9 meaning he is a coded midfielder whose job is to draw center backs into the field to create pockets of space for wingers and some central midfielders to exploit. Only creative players do that. Aside Messi, Firmino and Van Persie, we’ve not really had much false 9s that were effective. Similarly, Ronaldo is a traditional false left winger who starts at the left wing but cuts in centrally. So he is basically number 11 and 9. 4. Ronaldo only plays two positions. Number 9 and number 11. You only see him japa to the right wing (7) if the defender on the left wing is too tough for him. Ronaldo is a very good finisher but not a creative playmaker. He wouldn’t even compete with Liverpool’s firmino or Coutinho in in playmaking to be honest. But he is the best striker the world have seen in my opinion. 5. Don’t let your love for Ronaldo blind you from the truth. If you want to have an honest unbiased opinion as to who is better between the two, listen to experts and people with experience in the game. Find out frm world class coaches and football captains their opinion on who is best and why and stop following what short sighted fans say. While I respect the opinion of football fans, I think it is prudent to pay more attention to the opinion of subject experts 2 Likes |

Contango: So he played left back and defensive midfield... messi fans are highly deluded |
Re: Could This Be Why Ronaldo Is Nicknamed “Penaldo”? by Contango(m): 4:53pm On Oct 09, 2021 |
Kingcalls: Abeg highlight where I mentioned that he played left back abeg As for defensive midfield, I said Messi drops momentarily to DMF. If you haven’t seen Messi drop that deep, then you clearly don’t watch Messi play hence it is not surprising that you dont know what you are talking about |
