Lmao stop spreading this lies on nairaland.

See what really happened, eto was asked who's the best player between the two. He answer that Ronaldo is very good but Messi is the greatest of all time.

Ronaldo Spanish pr media changed the quote and lied but eto was quick to replied and correct them on Twitter.

Lmao it was so funny yesterday on twitter

Common shut it liar... Eto'o was speaking naturally as a pundit and was questioned about Juve abd thats how he made the statement... Liar oshi

Waiting for Barca fans to insult their legend

Samuel Eto'o offered an interview to 'Sky Sport' in Italy in which he spoke about the past and future of Inter Milan. Still, in the comparison with Juventus, the name Cristiano Ronaldo came up, who the Cameroonian called "the best of all time".

Samuel Eto', now an observer on the playing fields, had an interview with 'Sky Sport' which he was asked to do as an ex-Inter player.

The ex-Cameroon striker spoke about the comparison between Inter and Juventus. "I see Juve and... I don't know. They have Cristiano Ronaldo, the BEST OF ALL TIME, or Dybala, another phenomenon, but I would like to see the Sarri of Empoli again", he assured.

All this because Eto'o hopes the Italian coach will bring something more to Juve: "He's different from when he was at Empoli or Chelsea. Today we don't see coaches like Guardiola making their teams play, maybe risking losing, but still making the fans enjoy themselves".

If Liverpool could trash Varcelona, who is atletico

maxwell530:
you are a joker indeed.
Do you understand the meaning of the word "presently" in your first comment?
Morata,Perez, aspas are all leading Higuain in goals "presently".
Did Higuain win golden boot in La Liga?
Didn't he break goalscoring record in serie A?


Trying to argue with you is a big waste of time.

Strikers that couldn't topple messi after going goalless for 5 matches....

I know Barcelona fans will be here to laff

For the past two weeks, there has been lack of electricity or less electrical output from PHCN... Everyday fuel fuel.... What happening??

hinohsend:
Cruyff, Stoichkov, Puyol, Eto'o, Rivaldo, the other Luis Suarez, Kubala, Cesar Rodriguez, Ronald Koeman, Andoni Zubizarreta?

Plus terStergen, DeJong, Pique, Griezmann are not big players?

Nairaland sport section is really worsening. Clowns everywhere

Lol.... Ter Stegen 4th choice German Gk.... (Neuer, Leno, Aldrich > Stegen

maxwell530:
I found your question hilarious.
Luis Suarez
Karim Benzema
Iago Aspas
Lucas Perez
These are guys doing pretty well than Higuain presently. If you talk of Higuain of 4 years ago,it could've been better. But this present Higuain can't even compete with Alvaro Morata.

Apart from Luiz Suarez. What other striker has won a golden boot anywhere ??

Lol... Aspas, Perez.. Lolsss

Ode Virus

gibzzhd:
And with all those records, hattricks and goals Messi was winning the golden boot.GET SENSE

During Ronaldo time in Spain, 2009-2017
3 Laliga golden boot
7 UCL golden boot

Messi
4 laliga golden boot
2 UCL golden boot

ThierryJay:
Can't you read. I said the Phenomenon has won the World Cup golden ball and the silver ball in 1998 and 2002 respectively. He also got the best player at the Copa America 1997, which are all testament to his individual greatness. Cristiano has never won any of these including the European version of the Copa. That's the hallmark of individual greatness and these are facts.

That being said. Cristiano does not hold a candle to De lima in terms of ability to do magic with the ball on the field of play. If you call that sentimental garbage, then I'm afraid you know nothing about football. Several top football personalities, including Jose Mourinho, Cristiano's compatriot have made the comparison and attested to this fact.

Comparing their records

Its only in international football that Delima trymps Ronaldo and this is due to the nation of both... Brazil to Portugal....
Portugal is just like Nigeria in world football and Mali in European football, and look at ehat CR7 has done in Portugal....

Cristiano holds a golden ball from FIFA Club world cup and Silver ball from EURO 2016

In terms of play, Ronaldo is more versatile on the pitch but Delima is more magical

Ronaldo has more goals, more assists, more individual awards

Hence Delima might be more magic but Cristiano is greater

However Delima is definitely greater that Messi

ronaldbecky:
oga neva in life time compare delima to c ronaldo...delima is far ahead..case close

How is delima far ahead??

In what areas or aspects of football

Proofs please no sentiments

No one in his right senses takes a joker seriously.

Fear

eni4real:
Guinness World record

Zidane never won the laurel award... Okay what year did he win it??

Pele and Chitalu are giving us unofficial goals

Pele -2000

Zidane- 2011

eni4real:

He is the only player in history to win it in 3 different categories . Lolzz

Yes i acceot that.... So whyadding best player award to it??

Ronald has won it in 2 categories

Although these awards are of utter insignificance anyway

eni4real:
Pele never scored 126 in a year.. Those are not official goals .

The former holder of most goals was Gerd Muller with 86 goals..

Which Messi overtook scoring 91 goals.. A Guinness World record!!!!

Any other record such as the purported 126 goals of Pele or 146 goals of Chitalu are Village's
record


Messi is the only Footballer in history to win the Laurel's award!!!!

Stop stressing yourself over the best player in the World!!!

So Wikipedia records are wrong?

So what type of sport did Pele or Zidane play ad what aware did laureaus give them?

eni4real:
Messi is the only player in the history to win best scorer, best playmaker and best player award category in IFFHS!!!

Shut it... There's no best player aware in IFFHS

eni4real:
Only Messi..
No other Footballer in history!!!

I know you are surprised.

Same way you argued about Pele achievement of 126 goals in a calendar year until you were proven wrong as usual

eni4real:
Cristiano joined the club at his peak!!!!

Throughout the same period with Messi in La liga, Messi scored more...
Messi: 472
Cristiano: 450!!!!

Cristiano get angry if his teammates score, Cristiano play all penalties, Cristiano demand that he must get the ball all the time or he get angry!!!

Messi will give penalties to other players.,. Assist and even drop deep sometimes!!!

Still Messi score more goals than him!!!


If you want to talks about goal ratio, Messi has more career goal ratio than Cristiano

Cristiano: 725goals in 1000games. (0.725 ratio)

Messi: 696 goals in 843games (0.829 ratio)


The difference is clear!!!!!

Goal ratio in laliga games 2008-2017 nko?

WHOEVER IFFHS already awarded Ronaldo best scorer in the world anyways same organization that gave messi best playmaker

eni4real:

Benzema will destroy Higuain!!!!

Benzema only is enough!!!

Name any golden boot Benzema has won

eni4real:
Only one Footballer win it in the history of the Sportsman of the year award!!

Laurel Sport award. Best in history!!!

Pele
Zidane
Totti

Havewon it as footballers...

maxwell530:

Are you kidding me?

Yes mention from laliga presently

hELP YOURSELF

Club... Not career

maxwell530:
lol....bro don't forget the serie A record of most goals in a season was broken by Gonzalo Higuain (an average striker in lal liga and was supplus to requirements in Madrid)

Name any striker better than Higuain in laliga as of present??

eni4real:
Laurel Sport award.... Best in history!!!!

Pele and Zidane were awarded too... Shift

ThierryJay:
Lol, as if you are lover of Messi.

Yes. These players can actually terrorize opposition all game long consistently. They have all won the World'cup's best player which demonstrates their overall influence throughout the tournament and not just goalscoring.

And don't u ever insult Ronaldo da lima, by mentioning CR7 in the same breath as him. Imagine the effrontery. Have you ever watched Da Lima play? Even it's not easy for me to say Messi is head and shoulders better than him.

What has De Lima done in football that Cristiano hasn't done... Please no sentimental garbage just facts...

And why are you placing messi over Delima?

eni4real:
2 World cup trophies, 2 Copa America Trophies, 1 World cup Golden ball, 1 World cup Golden boot, 1 World cup Silver ball alone is greater than Cristiano!!!

Eder is Cristiano saviour tho!!!

With this

R9> Messi
Zidane > mesi

No more argument

ThierryJay:
Bro despite everything I've said about Ronaldo's penalty prowess, I won't deny that he's a great goalscorer, in fact one of the greatest goalscorers in the game's history. He's in the class of Gerd Muller, Romario, Di Stefano in this regard. No one can take that away from him. My point is he offers little else other than that. And that's where the likes of Messi, Maradona, Ronaldo da Lima, Pele, Zidane and Cryuff trumps him.

You are just a hater

Putting cryuff over Ronaldo??

Ronaldo Del Lima over cr7?

Is there anything those players can do that Ronaldo cant??

Please state them here

eni4real:
Lukaku and Ronaldo Fenomeno are on the same level according to the weakest era of SerieA

Fine
Cr7>R9

eni4real:
"Is Penaltea not part of football again"?, "If Penaltea is easy to score, ask Messi"
Those are your classic response when people point that Cristiano rely heavily on penalties to score hatricks!!

Stop blaming Immobile for scoring more than Cristiano in the weakest SerieA ever!!!

Even Lukaku is breaking Ronaldo Fenomeno record in this era.. That shows how weak this SerieA is compared to the Prime era of SerieA!!!

Lukaku

Roma 3 barka 0

Atalanta 4 Valencia 0
