You just said what was on my mind after Ronaldo won euros south American federation felt like Messi will lose out to Ronaldo on the goat debate in history

They turned copa America to every 2 year something since 2016 the finally won it in a tournament that only had Brazil as their form team even Argentina that won copa America is not as good as previous teams

They always rig things in favor of that Messi guy it's only Messi fans that dont see it

Now he has left Barca and he is struggling let's see how it ends he is only 34 but already struggling Ronaldo is going to 37 and still scoring at a rate which many 25 yrs old players can't even attain in the premier league and UCL yet the media won't fail to criticize him and say he is the problem of a team if he doesn't score in one game . Messi that is not scoring at all of them turn a blind eye instead they are blaming the coach and naymer for his ineptitude in PSG
Bunch of hypocrites

No matter how many awards Messi has history and Statistics would always favour Ronaldo in the end. Except Messi improves

Lmao

Sorry which stat will favour Ronaldo over Messi?

You must be drunk.

Every available stat that exists and will ever exist will always place Messi above Ronaldo.

It's funny how people only compare Ronaldo with Messi and not with the likes of Pele or Maradona who are considered all time greatest players.

Think the problem with you Ronaldo fans is the emotional affection you guys have for Ronaldo that has block your sense of reasoning. Cus the fact is glaring.

walozanga:
OGA don't kill urself defending nonsense. Messi is a legend bt he is not In Form. If u want cry till he pick form, psg or Barca don't know u.

Yes you are right he is not in form... But Ronaldo that is in form is still trying to catch up with his goals contribution for the year.

And no other player has had a successful season than Messi this year.

I know you guys are saying all this because he is the one that set the standard. But you have to him be. He is the GOAT.

Faller:
I've been waiting for the day one Pessi fan will post this trash....

Na now una remember say una go remove scoring from him game.

First una dey count Bar and throwing
Later una dey count assist while patiently waiting for the goals....as goals no gree come, Una won commot goals from him game.

Kingcalls comman as see ... Eibarman people don turn Eibarman to Excuseman

Is funny how you penaldo fans have always try to ignore the league when Ronaldo fails to win it. You call him Mr champions league.

Messi is now bossing the same champions league this season, won the best goal for the week and the group stage. But you guys have now turn blind eyes to that.

Saying he is failing in a farmers league. My GOAT does not want to score in farmers league. Lobatan


If you are pained, go and kill your sef.

obembet:
PSG has been doing well before Messi arrived.

Yes they did so well that lille won the league. Nonsense!

It seems Messi and PSG is giving obembet abi what is her name sleepless night. Cus I don't get this your obsession with Messi. You don't post Messi successes but immediately he fail to do something, you are always there to post something.

And if he start scoring the goals in multiple folds you people will say shebi is because he is playing in a farmers league.

Beside Messi doesn't need to score to show he is the best. Even if he stop playing football today he will still remain the best player ever.

chikason22:
Highest local title you mean
Even Pep will disagree with you. He knows he is a local champion and definitely going to retire in a local Way you know.
So take heart cus what pep can bring home are not the prestigious UCL or any other title other than his usual picks.
Premier league, caraboa cup or FA cup.
Since he can to EPL, he has been using Anti aircraft to hunt those trophy while better managers use just double barrel to hunt UCL, Super Cups etc

Guardiola and local titles

Una never see something.
I go show una today

Lol... So EPL is now a local league. EPL trophies are now farmers trophy? Just because pep is dominating? Lol

I love the way pep is slowly turn EPL to a farmers league with the same tiki taka style you people claim won't work in EPL.

Pep is the best coach in the world.

You people should keep on Crying

paulolee:
tink say na only me see him blunders...na so one dey ague say KDB good as pep come forgetting dt was already made n was bought by pellegrini

One thing people fail to realize is the Liverpool style of play. Liverpool plays heavy metal game. Fast counter attack!

It will be difficult for a player who is use to playing a very fast high tempo shot trilling game to playing a tiki taka style of game.

This is the reasoning Coutinho is failing in barca. Take Henderson, milner or any other player out of Liverpool and put them in a barca system they will fail. Is not a curse is just what they are use to.

OJEEMAH:
The same people that called Fergie that coached man u for 26years GREAT still dey criticize Pep wey don tour 3 countries.

After all the hype that he can't dominate EPL like he dominated La liga, now wey e don monopolize the almighty English league, they don set new standard say e must win UCL with a different team before they acknowledge his greatness.

They are all hypocrites..... They should measure Fergie and Pep using same standard let's see the result.

Abi ooo

But why is no one talking about his style of play. They all said tiki taka won't work in premier league and this guy is using this same style to dominate EPL.

Pep is a tactical genius, tbt there is no coach better than him. If you see the way man city plays then you will understand the level pep is.

Com'on I respect Fergie but the man UTD team he coach were not playing fantastic football compare to pep's Mancity.

DesChyko:
There was a question I put out in that series which you avoided answering. What stunning PL achievements had not existed before Pep came in?

Winning 4 out of 5 PLs isn't new to PL. It has been done before. Three different times by Ferguson. by the same manager. The same Ferguson he is being 'casually compared to'. Stop throwing dominance around. We have lived through dominance.

Is it surprising that they did it? Of course not. They've always been close to winning, even in the years they didn't win it. All teams who have managed back-to-back wins have that in common. They've always remained in the top 3 consistently.

In the first six years under the Sheikh, before Pep, the only time Man City finished outside the top 3 was the season before he was brought in. Before then, they always finished in the top 3, winning 2 out of 5 PLs. In 5 seasons under Pep, they've won 3 out of 5 PLs, remaining in the Top 3 all the while. Man City are more formidable now, but they weren't from ground zero unlike a number of sides who eventually won the PL.

The purchasing power can be matched, but it was never matched and Man City certainly have the goods to show for it. It's a lesson for other clubs to pick up their recruitment to get where they want to be. Arsenal don't really spend as they should, and you can't even compare them to Chelsea, whose consistent successes started way way late than Arsenal's.

In Man United's defence, you could take a stroll through their spending a decade before the Sheikh and you'ld see that it has been low compared to the successes they've had. It's what they are paying for until date as they players were allowed to age and burn out to create a new template for the new boss, without the consistent recruitment to go with it. That's a club's poor decision making. In others' favour.

I do not like to talk down Pep so. What he has done is amazing, in just 5 years of being here but come on, this is the PL, where a number of sides, Man City inclusive, have tasted enviable success along the way. It's not a two-way horse or worse. There have been many managers who have done clearly astounding feats in their own rights. There are many clubs who could take their claims to the title. The standards are a bit higher here. The pockets are deep too.

True there are many managers who have done great things in EPL but none like pep.

Pep had won games than any other manager in EPL history. Pep mancity is the only team that has reached the milestone of 100point and has scored 106 goals than any other team in the history of EPL. Pep is the only manager that has 4 manager of the month award in a roll.

That is dominance! If there is anything left in EPL history to do, Pep has done it all.

irririchris:
Manchester City is on a goal scoring spree against Leeds United (7-0) 80th minutes and there's no update on Nairaland...

Update on the goals scorers---
Foden- 8th minute
Grealish- 13th minute
K. De Bruyne- scored a brace (32nd and 62nd minute)
Mayrez- 49th minute
Stone-74th minute.
Ake- 78th minute

This is brutal!!!

We are running away with the league again.

I told Chelsea fans that if we top the table we they should just forget the league.

If pep can win all his match in December into January... Other teams should forget it. We don win am again

You are very stupid.

The post he commented Factos on was it about Lewandoski or him!

Even if you people are dull and blinded by the emotional mumu love for Ronaldo, doesn't mean that we the rest don't have sense.

Even in his worst season Messi is still better than others.

Anyone who have sense knows Messi is better than Ronaldo. And your tap-in merchant can never be anywhere close to Messi. He knows it that's why he is always in competition with him.

But my own Messi no send am

oyatainer:
Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was snubbed by Portugal’s representative in the voting process for the 2021 Ballon d'Or.Journalists from 180 different countries were asked to cast their votes for the top five footballers from France Football’s 30-man shortlist.First place and second place were awarded six and four points respectively, while third place received three points, fourth picked up two points and fifth collected a single point.



http:///4fb92b34211204en_ng?link=1&client=news

So even Portugal did not vote Ronaldo?!! And the idiot is claiming right to the award.

AsampeteNwaanyi:


RONALDO is the greatest of all time.
he doesn't need a corrupt politically motivated crap to prove it
the stats there.
he does what no human has ever done
he scores (highest scorer in the history of football)
he assists (3rd highest assist in the history. above xavi, inesta, ozil and many other legendary playmakers)
he does for club and country at the highest level (champions league and European tournament)
he still plays and bests in the best league in the world even at the age of 36
he's the highest followed person on social media and so many on and off pitch personality.

now tell me what else qualifies a person to be goat?
even the devil knows that this guy's feat might not be matched by anybody again in this generation.
100 years to come there might not be the fraudulent political award but his records will be studied and the generations to come will always remember Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro as the greatest of all time.

Ehyaa sorry...

Instead of you to just enjoy his goals jejele you still went ahead to compare him with another player??!

You people ehn na Messi pain go kill you!


If he likes he should score 1million goals, he is nothing but a tap-in merchant. And history will remember him as that.

Despite the so-called 7 balon dors this one is still typing long epistle to prove Messi is GOAT.. Pele o!
You think you're talking to a fool by saying the usual lines.
Just last week lampard switched allegiance to CR7 cause the world is gradually seeing Messi as a fraud, his trophies collections are not as unique as CR7 trophies collections, the first time he decided to switch league and see how he's struggling despite being in a super stacked PSG.. While CR7 has done it in 3 different leagues and also dragging his portugal that as never won a trophy to winning 2 trophies, now compare that to Messi that spent all his life in barca while they played for him, plays for a super nation like Argentina, won copa because of di maria, never scored against top 10 ranked nation, became top scorer in copa after scoring all his goals against 81th ranked bolivia, never scored against brazil in a tournament, retired 2 times, insulted conmebol cause they didn't favour him, made plans to shift copa America to be played 4 times in 6 years so he can fraudulently win an international trophy, a trophy whose tournament has no round of 16 and yet he was given balon due to that plastic cup.

Only his fans like you are still delusional thinks the whole world goes with Messi as the GOAT. He's nothing but a silent thief and a FIFA boy.. His career pathway has always been soft compared to the real GOAT.
Keep deceiving yourselves..

I just want to say cry me a river.

You are obviously pained. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do but cryyyy harder.

TEYA:
he even said barca players always pass the ball to Messi, thus enabling him to score. i was like does this guy know anything about Leo's assist prowess? Messi was man of the match in almost all FC Barca's matches last season! That includes matches that barca drew or lost.

The guy is a fool... He thinks Messi is like Ronaldo or Lewandoski who sit in the box and wait for passes from his teammates so they can score. Awon tap-in merchant

Heffalump:
Don't mind the idiots. The dwarf who is their Ballon d'or winner could not find back of the net in almost 10 league games. Is it that kind of person you call "World best?". This award is long dead. It will never generate much attention and fanfare as before.

You are right. It will never generate attention from Ronaldo fans anymore cus their goat is not going to win it again.


And point of correction, the award is not for this season but last season. Try dey get sense.

And Messi has scored 4 goals and 3assist in those 10 games. So gets your facts right.

But I Know you are pained ni so cry more please!!

TruthSocial:
Here's my opinion.

Messi fans around the world believe that winning the Copa America, Copa de Rey, highest goal scorer in Copa America, highest chances created in the league is enough to win the balon d or, but yet they agree lewandoski should have won the award in 2020, if Lewandoski is so qualified to win in 2020 just because he won the bundelisga and was highest goal scorer in the league, why is he not so qualified to win it in 2021. If as a Messi fan your argument is Messi won because of his performances for Argentina in the Copa America, then anyone from the Italian squad that won the uefa euro cup should have won the balon d or too, Messi should win the best player in Copa America not the best in the world this time ,I remember how he won it in 2011 when Wesley sneidjer was the clear winner of that trophy that year.

In 2020 Lewandoski did not just win the league, he won every trophies available including the champions league and there was no international tournament that year. So yes we believe he deserve to win it.

But this year however there is an international tournament, but he only won the league and golden boot, something Messi did the year modric won the ballon d'Or.

So if Messi despite winning the league and the golden boot failed to win a ballon d'Or because modric carried croatia to the Final of euros and winning the best player of the tournament. Messi deserves to it also.

Did you get it now? Abi you still want to be foolish?

TruthSocial:
You are fine with Injustice, you can be a Messi fan, but what is so glaring is he didn't deserve the award, I bet messi himself will be satisfied if Lewandoski had won the trophy or Jorginho.

Wait I get that you people call Lewandoski, but jorghino Are you people dumb or what?

What individual performance does jorghino have to receive ballon d'Or?

A midfielder who has 3 goals and 4 assist to his name for a complete year??

You people must be stupid. Even Chelsea fans that I know won't even call jorghino name to ballon d'Or. But you Ronaldo fans are just stupid since your favorite is not in contention, anyone should win it except Messi. Bunch of assholes

Don't be surprise, if Messi should win the world cup he is winning another ballon d'Or! You people will cry tire.

nesgeeek:
all goals messi score last season including the ones in Copa America is not up to 80% of lewandowski goals.

Lewandoski score 54 goals, Messi scored 40 goals how is that not up to 80%

Funny enough is not that you give a Bleep about Lewandoski, you are a Ronaldo fan but since Ronaldo is not in contention anyone seem fit so far is not Messi.

Lewandoski deserve to win 2020 ballon d'Or, but to give him 2021 because he scored 54 goals and won bundesliga is fucking not possible.

Berezuski:
The criteria for winning that ballon dior should be thorough restructured
Even Leo knows too well he doesn't deserve it this time
Last season, leo struggled with even Barcelona
How many goals did leo scored in that copa America?
Nonsense

Ehyaa sorry bro! I know you are pained. But you will need to cry more please.

Will Argentina win the Copa America without Messi??

nesgeeek:
to me, I don't think Messi deserve the award. Jorginho or lewandowski is the original owner of the award. Jorginho won Uefa nation cup and champions, while lewandowski has been known as a consistent goal scoring machine both in Germany and the rest of the world. Messi only won Copa America. Messi didn't deserve the award.

So Messi was not also a goal scoring machine and an assist maker despite winning Copa America?

Yhungsarm:
Messi fans are not truthful at all. Saying Messi deserves the award ahead of Lewandoski is just pure rubbish and i will give you three pure reasons why messi Shouldn't have won the Award.
1.Many of you claim Messi won the Copa America and Lewandoski failed to play pass group stage of Euro 2020 or qualify for World Cup.
It is only a dumb football lover that will compare Poland squad to Argentina squad, they are jst simply incomparable. Argentina has a one of the best squad in the world. Argentina played Chile in the first match it ended 1-1, they also beat Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia to qualify past group stage, then they beat Ecuador 3-0 in Quarter finals and Colombia on penalties in the semi final. Then they beat Brazil in the final. I would like everyone to checkout the countries Messi played against in this Copa America apart from Colombia and Brazil others are not a big task for giants like Argentina. Chile and Uruguay use to be a good football playing country but right now it seems Peru is by far better than them. So technically Messi only played Colombia and Brazil as the big countries in Copa America.
Whereas, Poland were drawn against Spain, Sweden and Slovakia in the Euro 2020, i need you to compare the countries Lewandoski and Messi Played against. In the world cup qualifier, Lewandoski played England and magnificent Hungary side, even tho they lost some of the matches, Lewandoski was magnificent(please check his World cup qualifier stat in this poor Poland team) same way Messi was oustanding in Barca's poor team.
2. Messi in Barcelona can never be compared to any other player in another team. If you watch Barcelona very well in 2020, you would get to know that Messi plays as a playmaker and he is given all the freedom. Every Barcelona player wants to give Messi the ball which increase his chances of scoring but Lewandoski case is slightly different even tho he is Bayern point man he still as big name who also scores individually. I hope you all get my point.
3. Messi Performance in 2021 is not as great people say.
Messi fans claimed he played well in Barcelona in 2021 but he still couldn't win La liga best player despite is individual brilliance. His performance for PSG in 2021, also proves my second point about Barcelona centering their ball on Messi.
Finally, i would say Messi winning the ballon dor show it is purely politics, he is clearly the second favourites but not the first. If it was by Countries achievement then Xavi or Iniesta should have won in 2010 because they performed well in the world Cup and also Barcelona. I remembered in 2010.

Funny enough I thought you have something sensible to say ni.

What is this??

I know you are pained, but then there is nothing you can do about it than to cry more!!!

Kingcalls:
All pundits from espn to cnn to BBC to sky sports to marca to eurosports to reuter are all saying Lewandowski deserved it and not messi , as the said on BT sports, dont ever trust journalists

I just pray they pair bayern with psg in the round of 16, so that it will show how corrupt and inconsequential that fake award is ... even messi zombies know he will be disgraced by lewa again... they should make sure the person that wins copa in 2023 wins the balon dor otherwise we will revisit 2021

Ehyaa sorry!

I know you are pained, but unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it.

Cry!!!

Dvin:
Do you mean the voting was rigged? Do you mean the coaches, captain and journalist voted Lewandowsky and the organizers switched Lewandowsky vote for Messi? As in I don't understand. Calm down they will publish the voting okay. Or do expect them to switch messi's vote so that Lewandowsky wins to make you happy?
You think it's Nigeria election?

Abi ooo! They thought it was vote buying ni...

trustedward:
in 2018 they gave it to Modric on the ground that people were tired of the Messi and Ronaldo wining it every year simply cos they didn't want any player to equal or get close to Messi's number, this year they clearly robbed a clear winner just like in 2010 Schneider and 2019 Van Dijk..the award has already lost it's relevant couple of years ago, no one take it serious anymore.

Abi ooo... Did you see the gun they brought to rob Lewandoski?? Those people are wicked.


Cryyy me a river please

Ballon D’or is now just perform little as long as you have fans and you are popular it’s for you.

Lewy was Cheated, it was so obvious.

It has turned to favouring a certain player just to spike Goatnaldo and his fans. We already who the goat is. If they like they should awarding the him with Ballon D’or it means nothing since they have politicised it.

Abi ooo... Too bad Ronaldo did not have fans.

He said he "I deserve to win more golden boot than Messi". Go and watch the interview if you haven't.

I'm not saying he said he wants to win more ballon d'Or than Messi but I think say him fit talk am sha.

maxwell530:
I don leave ham already. Imagine someone comparing a 19 year old Messi with Theo Walcott na, he went ahead to say Copa dey Try is not a trophy. Who could be dull enough not to know that Copa dey Rey is Spanish fa cup just like English fa cup, German dfb pokal,coppa Italia in Italy.
Every trophies Messi has won are useless to them, I won't be surprised tomorrow to see them calling World cup useless

Most of them know the truth, they are just trying to be foolish ni.
