Kingcalls: I quoted Mulbarak Al-Khaddon and you say these are lies. I'm not talking about this year these are 2014 -2017 happenings. Al-Khaddon is not a football person. He is the head of UAE's Sovereign wealth Fund company. There's no incentive for him to lie here. (Google him). You said CR7 is a decisive goal scorer yet he won only 2 La Liga titles in 9 years. The same number of titles as Robinho in Madrid (who is considered a flop there). The year CR7 won the golden boot in serie A, his team came 4th. Shouldn't we call his goals indecisive then? How does Messi have more Golden boots & Pichichi & titles than 99% (including ronaldo) of all active players today by not scoring decisive goals. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Asour: All clubs have their targets and priorities..real madrid are more inclined to champions league....they are focused on champions league... barca had a better team than real madrid.... but Ronaldo was the factor on y they won more of the champions league... I can also argue that y did messi only win the CL 2 times while Ronaldo won it 4 times during the same period... Champions league is toughest cos u have the beat of the best compete... the league is a 38 game competition, the psychology of playing the league is different from the CL... talking about the pichichi , we can also argue that y does Ronaldo have more top goal scorer in the CL ... The guy u mentioned is not the part ofvthe management...he is the owner and u know how owners talk carelessly just to brag.... |

OlawaleBammie: Totti and Gerrard had no one they were competing with ... messi might hv remained in barca if the comparison with Ronaldo was non existence cos he has won it all with barca... he joined psg to see if he can win CL cos no hope of winning it with barca again |

Kingcalls: What the man said is not a brag. In fact, if he was proud he would not have said that. He said Messi rejected their offer of doubling whatever Barca was to pay him. On whether or not Madrid was keen on winning the La Liga as a priority that NOT true. Could you explain the comments below by Zidane? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/soccer/real-madrid/story/4138594/real-madrids-zidane-la-liga-title-better-than-champions-league%3fplatform=amp Saying that a club like Madrid prioritizes UCL against Laliga is a laughable comment on your part. Madrid is the most successful club in European history. They don't prioritize one against the other. They just couldn't win it. Why did it take Madrid till 2014 to win UCL after signing CR7 in 2009? Does it have anything to do with the arrival of Kroos & Bale? Why didn't CR7 win the UCL with Juventus since he is so decisive? You have left many questions unanswered. 3 Likes 1 Share |

That former president really ran the club to the ground. During Laporta first reign, Barca was settling books on surplus. Corruption really killed Barca. It doesn't make any sense both morally and otherwise for any player to play football for free, not even the class of Messi |

Asour: Are u sure u are familiar with football?? Did u just say he failed to qualify juve for UCL?? Again talking about winning it with juve....he did what no one will do including messi at juve... he scored all 7 goals that juve scored in the knockout stage in his first 2 seasons... that was a champions league winning performance from an individual... if other also put half of his efforts like in Madrid or Manchester , it wud hv been a done deal for juve .... at barca , the whole team always crumbled, Messi inclusive... dontvalso forget Ronaldo's age ... he is almost 37 ... u dont expect him to be as explosive as he used to b .... and how did he have them end their league winning streak ?? Are u really inclined with football...or a hater cos u are beginning to sound as one and I dont reply trolls ... he scored over 100 goals in his 3 years and u say he is the reason y they failed to win the league... he was serie a top scorer last season with 29 goals but inter won it with lukaku their top scorer hitting 23 goals... what does that tell u?? Or can't u see juve is struggling at serie a now in 8 position... |

Kingcalls: You're a comedian, last I checked he was still the number 2 highest goalscorer in champions league history and still had the highest goal total in the 2018 competiion. Name one player that you can say without any doubt played better than Messi when we compare the last 7 years, your closest guess would be cristiano and yet using your champions league stat as basis, he hasn't won highest goal scorer since 2017, so what are you smoking? All the other points you made are just plain dumb, nobody can deny his impact on barca and recently on Argentina winning the Copa, if you must argue, do it with sense! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Asour: U have started to sound like a troll... I will stop replying u... has Madrid ever sacked a coach for not winning la liga?? Madrid that sacked De bosque days after winning the league cos he failed in the CL.... also sacked Mourinho for failing to win the CL despite winning la liga the previous year .... asked zidane to leave despite winning the league title the previous year and finishing 2nd , a point behind atletico but because they lost to Chelsea in the CL , he knew his time was up... u dont know how real madrid operate.... zidane was there for 3 seasons despite winning the league title once ...but because he won the CL 3 times in a role, he dint loose his job ... the moment Ronaldo left for juve , he resigned cos he knew he had no chance to win it again as Ronaldo had left and he knew the nextvthing was sack |
Re: We Hoped Messi Would Play For Us For Free - Barcelona President, Joan Laporta by Asour: 3:23pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
Kingcalls: Re-read my statement. I said almost. Explain how Juventus can win the League 7 straight years and then make UCL finals in 2 years. Semi finals a few more times. Sign CR7 and then fail to Win both UCL and Serie A. By 'almost' I mean that Juve would have NOT qualified for UCL if not for Napoli failing to win their last league game last season. I.e. at that point qualifying for UCL was out of Juve's hands. Explain. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: We Hoped Messi Would Play For Us For Free - Barcelona President, Joan Laporta by Asour: 3:26pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
Kingcalls: You are contradicting yourself. Zidane has never been sacked by Madrid in all his stints there. In your first paragraph you say that Zidane was asked to leave. In your last paragraph, you again said he resigned because he was afraid. Which is it ? Madrid does not sacrifice any trophy. That's how they became the most successful club in history. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Scoring Ecuador and Bolivia in group games and when it mattered the most Colombia semis and Brazil final , he went missing again ,just like he always does in most big games ... mention one decisive goal messi has scored in the champions league or world cup during this same period?? |

Kingcalls: Funny how you said both Mbappe & Haaland have been more decisive than Messi. Euro 2020 stats. Haaland - Could not help his country qualify. Mbappe - 0 goals 1 assist. Missing Penalty against Switzerland. Flat performances at the tournament. Also Haaland has yet to win a major trophy for BVB. Am I criticizing these guys harshly? No. I'm just pointing out loops in your argument of them being decisive. Yet you claim I'm a troll. Well you judge. 1 Like 1 Share |

Asour: Ask urself whr they finished in the CL b4 Ronaldo joined ...also asked urself whr they finished on 2016.... now ask urself if they were the same players that featured in those 2 finals in 2015 , 7 yrs ago and 2017 and getting trashed 4.1 , a year b4 he joined ... in 2016 they were knocked out in the round of 16 ... so let's also say Robin van persie is the reason y man u collapse, cos they played 3 finals in the champions league with 5 years b4 he joined .... I really don't know how u guys think... can u compare the players and coach that took juve to the final 2 times with the one Ronaldo played with... Pogba, pirlo, buffon, dani Alves, khedira , Douglas Costa, tevez, inform higuain, younger bonucci and chielini, Bazargli , cancelo , inform sandro, matuidi , fit dybala, Mandzukic, Evra, camorenesi ,...can u use those to compare the clowns the have now ...apart from chiesa , cudrado , deligt , who else is worth a mention ?? |
