drisham:
Dembele already won it last year, there's a huge chance the favor will sway towards mbappe

Kane , haaland, yamal are also in the running for it

Unlimited22:
Proper twisting and turning in the wind 😂😂

Ibukzy:
How is a stamp on the foot a slight foul

do you have TV at home?

Jamiuokolaa:
Why are they not generational players?

Is WC win/bossing finals no longer the main criteria again or goalpost don shift as usual ?

MorataFC:

A lot of top players have moved from Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, and the Netherlands to the Premier League and done really well.

Thierry Henry came from Serie A and became an Arsenal legend.
Cristiano Ronaldo came from Sporting in Portugal and became one of Man United’s greatest.
Luis Suárez came from Ajax in the Netherlands and became one of the league’s best strikers.
Sergio Agüero came from La Liga and became a Premier League icon.
Mohamed Salah came from Serie A and became world-class at Liverpool.
Kevin De Bruyne came back from the Bundesliga and became one of the best midfielders in Premier League history.
And Erling Haaland came from the Bundesliga and started breaking scoring records right away.

So how come a player of Messi’s caliber would flop in the EPL?
Sometimes agenda will just make people to talk "anyhow talk".

Leyqute:
Well, that’s a different argument then. Teenage Ronaldo scoring one league goal is different from a veteran Messi scoring 6 league goals in a season after winning

For the period you’re actually talking about… If you examine the stats closely enough, you’ll notice these facts:

Messi scored 6 goals in 24 starts. 2 as a sub.
In a full season.
In a team that was in a title challenge.
A team that won the league the previous season.

Ronaldo had 1 goal in 5 starts. 5 sub apps.
Half season.
In a team that was in crisis with him having a huge fight with the manager.
A team that won the league a decade ago.

The idiot then went ahead and scored 14 goals in 16 apps in Saudi in the second half of that same season.


Make of that what you will.

raumdeuter:
Your lack of understanding is not my problem

raumdeuter:
Ronaldo has been underwhelming at the world cup even in games vs subpar players. How can we be sure he will perform at big stages? Does he have stage fright? The Euro Portugal won too, he had to leave the field

raumdeuter:
Messi spent almost 15yrs in one league, Ronaldo never played in French League so we will never know

What we know for certain is that Messi thrived at the CL and at the world cup, We have seen how much of a flop Ronaldo was at world cup level

Messi has scored in the last 9 consecutive games at world cup, While Ronaldo struggled vs Congo. Imagine if he had to ply in Congolese league vs Motema Pempe, We never know how it will pan out

rooftops:
That guy dey always hide and no one is even showing interest in buying him. Like this he is one of the first to show up for preseason but we know how his season will go.

He looks like someone who will run down his contract to the end.

Unlimited22:
When that guy come Chelsea Tinubu just Dey become president


He never complete 90 minutes for Chelsea reach now

He just has one Belgium cap to his name till date despite being better than all of Belgium’s central mids bar maybe Tielemans


Lmao

Hope Uzodimma ko

raumdeuter:
This is like saying We dnt know if you can beat Anthony Joshua because you have never fought him and you likely will never

Joshua has beaten those significantly better than you but since he never fought you directly we never know who is the better boxer betwen you and Joshua

Same way we dont know if Ronaldo can survive Cyprus or French League since he never played there

Jamiuokolaa:
That's why the word "consistently" is key.

One off K.O games don't apply in this context - UTD also got eliminated in domestic cups during this period.

We all saw how Messi fell off with his 6
and 16 goals respectively in Weak French League after years of dominating laliga

Unlimited22:
BlueCo have done it again


Sold Andrey Santos meanwhile Professor Romeo Lavia, consultant orthopaedic surgeon is still on my team

ThierryJay:
Dont play smart bro. You were using his first 6-goal season in France to conclude that he might not cut it in Engalnd.

Yet you conveniently left out the second (42G/A) ballon dor winning season in France as if it didnt matter just to run agenda.

Again you left out Pendu's one goal abysmal second season in EPL. Using your logic, shall I say Pendu never did well in his second stint in England? Am I allowed to ignore his first season like you did to Messi's second?

Oya gbewa

ThierryJay:
Still playing Ostrich? Ok Messi scored 6 league goals in his first season.

drisham:
Person use hand score dem call am iconic moment wtf

No be today Argentina begin cheat

ThierryJay:
You saw Messi score 32 goals and 35 assists (67G/A) in 75games while in Ligue 1. How is that anything bad?

It's like you guys set up a standard for Messi that you don't measure Wasiu up against. Why should Pendu be exempted from the same conclusion that made you think Messi's 67 G/A in 75 games is a failure when at the same period he recorded 30 G/A in 55 games for Man utd?

It's ridiculous that unknowingly you lots are placing Messi to a higher standard and therefore validating his superiority.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

raumdeuter:
That was around the time Nicholas Anelka and Drogba was top scorer

The time when Andy Johnson was scoring 21 goals, Bernie McCarthy 21 goals and Adebayor 24 goals

popizaino:
real madrid is the most corrupt team in the world. no team comes close to them in terms getting favour from refreere. i will do the same if i was a direct rival too.

andrewbaba44:
You people and your delusion ,so he must come and perform in England to prove what ?

You suppose don grow pass this old papa beer parlour football analysis

England don turn yardstick

AirBere:
EPL that a normal player like Mahrez won PFA award is what they said Messi will struggle. EPL wey Anelka win golden boot is where Messi will struggle. EPL wey Bruno dey win award nah where Messi go struggle.
