My GOAT

lhordspy:
A king and more.

To all the guys who tried fooling us into believing penaldo is anywhere near this Genius. God will judge you all. You wasted 15years of our lives on unnecessary argument.

How can a player have a 2.4 player-rating in a match played in the 36th league in the world.?

Oga stop lieing and say the truth...

If you want to grow in life, stop pulling people down, just to garner likes...

I love both Messi and Ronaldo as I'm privileged to watch both of them in my generation.

This was the rating, infact he was the man of the match

Chidolalar:


Messi is d one and only GOAT in football history. Ronaldo is just a prolific goal scorer. He is not and can never be on d same level with Messi. Messi is more than scoring goals.
Messi is d only player u will find in top three all time goal scorers, top three all time playmakers, top three all time assists providers and top three all time dribblers.
U can never find such a player with that kind of feat again in football. Imagine one player dominating four categories of football for more than 19+ years and still counting.

You have valid points but I don't want to be drawn into any GOAT argument.

Technically speaking, there can only be one GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). I just used the term goats to refer to great players who millions consider as the GOAT; likes of Pele, Maradona, Messi & Ronaldo.
&you will agree that the era of Messi&Ronaldo rivalry spiced up the game of football. Infact the rivalry helped push them to their limits to break records & achieve some incredible feats

I don't wish to be dragged into Messi vs Ronaldo goat debate.
Although I'm of the opinion Messi is a better player but I still realise there are millions who in their own right, believe Ronaldo is the GOAT - reason I used the expression 2goats.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.

You must also acknowledge that the great rivalry between the two, helped push them to their limits to break certain records & achieve major feats. ✌️

Messi never saw Ronaldo as a rival. It's Ronaldo that has been competing all along. Messi would have been Messi without Ronaldo

RolexOfGeneva:

That's a lie. Haaland is already breaking some of their records and he is only 22

Goal scoring records ab?i. Na only Ronaldo that wan affect.

Let's wait and see 'consistency' and Balon d'or records. If he can keep the pace for 15years. This is where I respect Ronaldo, to compete with Messi for 15years isn't easy. But for him Messi would have had 12 Balon d'ors

ManWater:

OK. But why do you think there was such great rivalry between them?
&do you realise, such great rivalry helped push them to their limits to individually accomplish greats feats?
&their rivalry contributed to the excitement of watching the beautiful game.

The rivalry was created by the european media for European football hyping, not because they were similar in anyway maybe unless goal scoring ability.

Patoski7:

At Haaland's present age, he has accomplished more than both Ronaldo and Messi.

Past winners of which award dubai d or don't be delusional bro

ManWater:
Congrats.
In the next 100 years, 2goats in the caliber of Messi & Ronaldo may never grace the football stage.

So we should all count ourselves lucky to be among the generation that witnessed 2 such goats. 

only one GOAT not two and it is LIONEL MESSI.

Your opinion. Millions will disagree & say it's Ronaldo, Pele or Maradona.
Na so life be. Everybody with his own.

C'mon Bro. Haba!
At 22 Messi already has 2 junior world cup/medal- the Olympics and under 20 world cup. A champi's league and a Balon d'or

Keep your comparison to goal scoring please; copare Haland with Ronaldo n Mbappe please

This is insulting, degrading and embarrassing to the real GOAT.

But why is this not on FP?

TBIZZY:


This is insulting, degrading and embarrassing to the real GOAT.

Millions of people consider the Real GOAT to be Messi
Millions of people consider the Real GOAT to be Ronaldo
Millions of people consider the Real GOAT to be Pele
Millions of people consider the Real GOAT to be Maradona
.....

They are all entitled to their opinion. Nothing Degrading or Embarrassing there. Na so life just be.

From your analogy, virtually all professional football players have millions of people that consider them as real GOAT.

…cryuff, Eusebio, Ronaldo, Ronaldihno, kaka to zindane to Neymar even hazard.

My guys, the list you have up there is endlessly.

Yeah, &if a poll is to be conducted of who people consider the Real GOAT, at least Messi, Ronaldo, Pele & Maradona will make the Top10 list.
Reason why in my 1st post, I said we should consider ourselves privileged to witness 2goats grace the football stage. ✌️

If a poll was conducted and you were privileged to rate those players you listed, how would it be?

Rating in my opinion:
1. Messi
2. Pele
3. Ronaldo
4. Maradona
But my ratings for Pele & Maradona may not be accurate enough since I didn't extensively witness them play.

There wasn't any debate in d first instance. Right from 2006/2007 wen dey both came to limelight, it was very glaring and clear dat Messi is far ahead of Tapnaldo.



This great skills Messi displays are glaring to see by everyone. Even realistically Messi towers above Pele and Maradona.

1. Messi
2. Maradona / Pele


Tapnaldo doesn't even come near them
