ugwuadudave:exactly my point |
ThierryJay: ![]() He desperately wants his goal scoring record intact cos that’s the only way history will continue to remember him or maybe compare him with other greats. |
Beverlyjean:Did you say 05/06? Please when did Van Nistelrooy leave Man United? You nailed yourself….. since you can’t judge a player without considering his team, why was Juventus drowning with Ronaldo’s goals? Why did Man U struggle last season despite the fact that Ronaldo scored 24goals in all competition? Now, the only reason Messi and Barcelona did so well from 2009 to 2015, was because of iniesta and xavi , that was the same period Spain won the world cup , sandwiched in between 2 Euros ... the Spanish national team ruled the world and it reflected on barcaAnother effort to discredit Messi as usual but it’s okay. Did Iniesta & Xavi play for Argentina in 2014 World Cup or the series of finals he led Argentina to but lost due to luck? Messi has always done well with Argentina. He has just been unfortunate with his National Team….. losing 4 Copa America and 1 Wold Cup finals. Alittle bit of luck would have won atleast 3 Copa America for Argentina. Playing back to back finals shows consistency. Argentina struggled to qualify for 2018 World Cup until Messi came out of retirement to bang a hattrick against Ecuador? Wow! Since Xavi & Iniesta are solely responsible for Barcelona’s success because they won the “World Cup and sandwiched in between 2 Euros.” Then it’s safe to say Rooney, Scholes, Giggs, Modric, Kroos, Marcelo & Benzema were all responsible for Ronaldo’s success because between 2018-2022, they’ve won the UCL and 2 La liga titles without Ronaldo and every football fan knows Ronaldo has not seen UCL semis or even competed for UCL Top scorer since he joined and left Juventus. but when iniesta and xavi started to wear off due to age , the Spanish national team started to struggle, so as barca ... and at that same period, Argentina were nothing to right home about ...if messi was that spectacular, y dint Argentina win one title.Atleast without Xavi & Iniesta, he led to another Barcelona la liga title, Copa Del Rey & UCL semis. Without Iniesta & Xavi, he still won European Golden Boot, UCL Top Scorer, highest goals & assists in la liga year in, year out. Without Iniesta & Xavi, he finished as Copa America Best Player, Top Scorer & Provided the highest assist in the tournament. Now, what has Ronaldo achieved after he left Modric, Kroos, Marcelo & Benzema? but look at Ronaldo, at his peak was from 2010 to 2017 ... Portugal that had never won a tea cup in their history won the Euros , Portugal that had only played in 2 World cups , started qualifying for every world cup, Portugal that had never played in a final , played their first ever final in 2004 when Ronaldo first joined the national teamIf France had beaten them in 2016 finals, I am very sure you would have said it’s because Ronaldo didn’t play. Portugal didn’t win because of Ronaldo. It was their time just like it happened to Greece in Euro 2004 and Chelsea in 2012 & may be 2021 in UCL….. Seasons when Chelsea played well, they keep knocking them out but in 2012 when everyone had written them off with their poor form and inexperience coach, they surprised everyone from the Napoli, Benfica, Barcelona & even Bayern in their own turf. It happens once in a while in football……if Ronaldo had played in Figo’s era, he probably would have won nothing with the national team as well. Everyone could see the luck that accompanied Portugal to the final…..they struggled in 3group games against tournament minors and also qualified as best losers…… omo, it had nothing to do with Ronaldo’s effort cos they still won without him in the final. I said Ronaldo bossed the UCL from 2014 thru to 2018... the difference between his performance and messis is that Messi was the reason the got knocked out against Chelsea in 2012 missed a crucial penalty and cudnt score in both games , against inter in 2010 , he was just like a mere spectator while Sneijner bossed both games, he dint score a single goal in both games... in 2015 , Madrid lost 2.1 in Turin and played 2.2 in Madrid with Ronaldo scoring all goals for Madrid, now that's the differenceYou analogy is flawed for a player who finished top scorer in the UCL 5 out of 7times and also won 3 UCL titles within the same period. Apart from Bayern, Inter, Chelsea & ATM were all solid with their defensive work because that was the only way to stop Barcelona at the time. The Iniesta & Xavi you so love to praise couldn’t break down ATM, Chelsea & Inter like they did to other teams. Teams do not really defend for Real Madrid like they do to Barcelona Teams focus more on stopping Messi unlike Ronaldo We have constantly witnessed Messi been surrounded by 3 players especially when he’s up against defensive teams and that’s the reason Madrid and most English teams suffered except Chelsea cos they always defend against Barcelona. Apart from ATM, Ronaldo did not play any solid defensive team during their UCL run. Don’t mention Juventus cos they rarely defend And in 2014 UCL final against ATM, he scored 4th goal and its not from open play……. It was a penalty. In 2015 UCL quarter final against ATM, no goal home and away. In 2016 finals against ATM, he still didn’t score and it’s because they defend to superior teams It was only in 2017 semis, he scored in the first leg. I will pin madrids success at that time to Ronaldo cos his achievements for Madrid was 10 times better than whatever Messi did for barca ... when iniesta and xavi left , Messi cudnt see finals again ... as I earlier said barca were at their peak from 2009 through to 2015 ... Madrid peaked from 2014 thru to 2018 ... so Ronaldo at barca wud hv destroyed the UCL better during their peak days... if messi was at Madrid between 2009 and 2013... he wudnt hv won shishi...Poor recruitment by Bartomeu led to their downfall not Iniesta & Xavi’s exit…… Is it Messi fault that Bartomeu invested heavily on underperforming Coutinho & Greizman? Or Messi is responsible for Dembele’s injury crisis? So it was ozil , mourinho, di Maria , Bale , modric that made his win it at Manchester utd ... Bale modric di Maria and ozil that sud be thankful to Ronaldo for helping them see their first champions league ..had they ever won champions league b4 ?? Messi should be the one thanking iniesta ronaldinho , eto and xavi for making him win his champions league titles... Eto still won it at inter ... since they all left, barca became a flop and a disgrace I the UCL , until now that it seems they are back ...Okay. Messi is thankful Is Ronaldo thankful to Giggs, Scholes & Neville for helping him win his first UCL? cos we both know he never won it before he joined Man United too. Another lie by messi fans ... messi dint score against Madrid in Ronaldo’s final season ... that 3.2 win , came in 2017 and he dint score a brace , he scored the winner.. in 2017/ 2018 season , Ronaldo scored the winner against barca in the super cup as he came in as a sub and fired a screamer ... he also scored on the league game that season when they also defeated barca .... that winner by messi in that 3.2 win was messis last goal for Barcelona against MadridMessi scored in Ronaldo’s last 2 Classico game….. Real Madrid lost 0-3 at Bernabeu then played 2-2 at camp Nou….. Messi scored in both games. Check the screenshots and look at the dates Now mention messis moment of brilliance in that game ?? I told u that Ronaldo’s brilliance won them 2 penalties and u are here saying what brilliance did he show ?? Miles aheadNot true……he won the first but played both. Scoring 2 penalties is your definition of Ronaldo’s brilliance Messi does not need goals or maybe score 2 penalties to be on the spotlight His general gameplay speaks volume If not for the penalties, nobody would even notice Ronaldo in that game but his fans will blow his trumpet as if he did something spectacular

ThierryJay: ![]() We’ve always told them how ordinary Ronaldo can be without scoring goals but them no dey gree. He’s not scoring instead of facing fact, most of them go say him don old…… Last season, even when Messi wasn’t scoring, he was playmaking and assisting as usual. Do you think Ten Hag would bench Messi in this present United set up? No because if Messi is not useful upfront, he can be very useful as a playmaker and that’s the difference we have tried to make them understand all these years. |
Beverlyjean:Are you judging Barcelona as a team or Messi as a player. The discussion is about Messi and Ronaldo not Barcelona vs Madrid and you can’t be using 1 or 2 bad games to change the narrative. Between 2009-2015, Messi finished as top scorer 5 out of 7 times and out of the 5 times he ended as top scorer, his goals and general contribution won 3 UCL for Barcelona. And between 2009-2015, Barcelona & Messi failed to make UCL semi final just once and that was in 2014. By bossing UCL, does he have to win back to back to back before you finally agree he bossed the tournament between 2009-2015? 2+2 is 4 same as 3+1…… it doesn’t have to be the Madrid way. You added 2013 & 2015 for Ronaldo cos he finished as UCL Top Scorer despite losing to Dortmund & Juventus but you are using Inter & Chelsea to judge Messi even though he also finished as UCL Top Scorer in 2010 & 2012. Don’t pin Madrid’s UCL success to Ronaldo’s individual performance…… cos Messi would have done same for Madrid in those years. Nobody can dispute the fact that Madrid had a better team at the time and Barcelona was gradually declining and most people didn’t even notice until Roma, Liverpool & Bayern messed them up. There’s nothing like Madrid would have suffered more if Messi was in Madrid at the time cos their resurgence was not as a result of Ronaldo’s presence. As a matter of fact, his presence changed little until they brought Ozil, Modric, Kroos, Bale and Perez also hired tacticians like Mourinho and then Ancelotti. No excuse cos Messi still scored his Man United team shortly before he joined Madrid in 2009…….There was never a time Ronaldo was more superior in El Classico….. in that same 2014 you said Ronaldo was superior, don’t forget, Messi scored a hattrick in their 3-4 win at the Bernabeu and in Ronaldo’s final Classico match, he sent Ronaldo off to Juventus with a brace in the 2-3 win at the bernabeu. Scoring penalties is not a problem but aside the penalty what meaningful impact did Ronaldo make in that game? There was absolutely no moment of brilliance whether it resulted to a goal or not….. it was just the penalties and nothing extra Messi didn’t score Juve in the return leg at camp Nou but he was miles ahead of Ronaldo that scored penalty twice. |
ugwuadudave:Champions of Europe Any team Argentina beat no good Anything Messi wins automatically loses its value |
ugwuadudave:saving his remaining energy for the World Cup I guess……. Many people will be shocked |
ugwuadudave: ![]() Shey you don see double standard |
Beverlyjean:if Ronaldo bossed ucl from 2014-2018, then it’s safe to say Messi did same from 2009-2015. If the only time Messi bossed ucl was 2009 & 2011, how did he manage top scorer award with Neymar and Ronaldo in 2015 but ended up as UEFA Player of the Year? They won the final but he failed his team at the point they were looking up to him….. he repeated same against Bayern. I never said Messi didn’t fail his team at some point. It’s you who said Ronaldo has never failed and that’s why I point out those crucial games. See the difference……While Messi was scoring Madrid and claiming all 3points for Barcelona, Ronaldo was scoring but Madrid was sinking. Head to head, Messi scored more El Classico goals than Ronaldo Messi won more El Classico games than Ronaldo Messi also assisted more than Ronaldo in El Classico. No forget 5-0 wey Madrid chop for Camp Nou That’s why Ramos said, if not for Messi they would have won more titles. Juventus may have won but Ronaldo had no impact in that game… all he did was score penalties and that’s nothing. We no be like una wey been dey pray make Madrid no win UCL as Ronaldo no dey…… we only pray for Messi to win UCL with PSG Nothing concern us with Barcelona winning UCL….. they may be among the favourite just like City, PSG & Madrid but there’s no guarantee |
ugwuadudave:don’t blame them……that’s the only way they can sell Ronaldo as goat Since his fans dragged him into the goat discussion, they’ve been trying to undermine Messi’s achievements cos Ronaldo played in England, Spain and Italy. Pele never played in Europe…. Maradona did but it never gave Maradona any advantage in the GOAT discussion As e reach Messi turn, Ronaldo fans create new rule. |
Beverlyjean:you are funny aswear ….. did 2019 start in sept?I thought you said in the last 3years? Spurs bigger than Sevilla?? I don die ![]() Same Sevilla that defeat Middlesbrough in UEFA cup final 2006? Same Sevilla that also defeated Liverpool in Europa league 2017? Same Sevilla that knocked man United out of ucl 2018? Same Sevilla that defeated Man U in Europa league semis 2019? Abeg which Spanish top team spurs don beat before? Sweden, Hungary and Switzerland will defeat Ecuador that Portugal couldn’t defeat with Ronaldo? Stop creating a time frame in your argument….. since you like using time frame, what was Ronaldo doing when Messi was winning UCL top scorer between 2009-2012? And the same period Messi was playing UCL finals, Ronaldo was nowhere to be found…. So it’s obvious they all had their peak period. Ronaldo has never failed? Biko where was he when Messi was bossing him from Man United till he joined and ran away from Madrid? How many Ucl game has he won against Messi’s team? Messi beat and score his Man United in UCL final still knock his Madrid team out for ucl semis yet he never failed. Because of Messi he ran to Madrid, Messi kept on scoring multiple goals and defeating his Madrid home and away. He chop penalty for ucl final Still chop another penalty that knocked Madrid out against Bayern yet he never failed. Madrid played ucl semis last year and this year they are champions. That should tell you something |
Beverlyjean:Last 3years? 2 goals against Liverpool in 2019 2goals against Man United in 2019 Match winning goal against AT Madrid in 2019 Also scored in the return leg at Camp Nou Scored a hattrick against Sevilla in 2019 Still scored Sevilla in 2021 Scored PSG(Home & away) in 2020 Scored Man City in 2021 Scored Juventus in 2020 2 goals against Leipzig in 2021 Scored against Lille in 21 & 22 Scored against Lyon in 2022 Scored Chile and Ecuador in 2021 Has Ronaldo has been scoring all the big teams he faced in the last 3years? NO!! No goals against Porto, Athletico Madrid, Liverpool, Man City and other big teams he played against. All the so called big teams in Italy (Inter, Ac, Napoli & Roma) were dead until 2020. In euros, he could only bank on penalties to score France and Germany…… but he was busy stat padding with Andorra, Gibraltar, Faroe Island, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Estonia. Atalanta, Villareal, Arsenal and Tottenham are decent teams just like Lyon, Lille, Leipzig and Club brugg, Sevilla, Villareal, Sociedad that Messi scored In UCL, Ronaldo has not been able to win or compete for ucl top scorer since he left Madrid Neither has he played one semi finals since his exit from Madrid. 1goal in 10goals, if this was Messi you would continue to attack him with age forgetting he was a nominee for Balon Dor & FIFA Best at the age Ronaldo was struggling If you are trying to downplay Messi’s performances, always know it goes both ways…… we can easily run both players down. |
Jennifer663:He could even be the one using her account to post. And if she’s the one, she should be more concerned about her brothers 1 penalty goal in 10 appearances and his next game is the same Manchester City he faked injury against last season.
|
Not surprised……Like her brother & his fans, she’s insecure. Barcelona didn’t fake no financial crisis. They are still in a very big financial mess. Go and read how they sold some of their assets to be able to sign players and pay salaries. https://www.goal.com/en/amp/news/what-barcelona-economic-levers-financial-term-transfer-business-explained/blt95d2a1f87b095208

Hemem62:werey dey disguise….. You think say changing banner and creating new identity go hide your identity? You just be common criminal wey don cast. Quit fraud!!!
|
Junubi35:if you like disguise, nobody go fall for your scam….. you are still the same person that defrauded my friend. |
obembet:Stop disgracing your village people naa….. I thought you guys said assist is nothing cos Messi is miles ahead. As 007 no see goal score again, his dick suckers don switch to assist ![]()

Beverlyjean:win multiple balon d’or? I laugh in Spanish!! Balon D’or is not an award for goal scorers so even if Lewandoski played with Iniesta & Xavi, there’s no guarantee he would have won the same number of Balon D’ors & European Golden Boots as Messi. As a matter of fact, he played in a free scoring Bayern team, how many European Golden Boot & UCL top scorer did he win? Just one UCL Top Scorer & European Golden Boot…. and that’s because Ronaldo & Messi bossed him until their old age. And if any team decide to make Messi a box 18 player like Lewandoski has been all his life, I bet you Messi will still outscore him despite his age. Like many others, Lewandoski is useless without goals but Messi isn’t…..Infact, every non bias football fan knows Messi abilities without goals. Messi is not just a better goal scorer, he is also a better footballer than Lewandoski by all standards. Quit the needless comparison!! |
paulolee:so you even believe that crap? |
2loadedguy:You don talk am finish. 85-90% of the players in the so called EPL were signed from France, Belgium, Netherland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Portugal etc. I just read senseless comments from these guys and laugh. |
Benblaq: ![]() |
osazsky:Fabregas hit 18 assist twice in EPL Ozil hit 18 assist too KDB did 20 Henry also did 20 By your logic, they are all better than Messi right? Messi has 38 asssit in UCL…. Is EPL more competitive or stronger than UCL? Before I forget, Messi has 26goals against EPL big six(6). |
wealthpreach:Don’t be deceived. Na man dey hide behind that moniker. |
Jostoman:He’s not! |
Adisa89:no be him |
ThierryJay:Portable no go bad on this jam ![]() |
ThierryJay:Enjoy this new album
|
mariahAngel:But you dey talk about teams that rejected him not the ones he played for….. you should have included them. |
ominilongest:Why you ignore Madrid, Barcelona, Napoli, Milan, Dortmund & even Marseille. |
BlaqFaze:Not just Haaland bro. EPL fans are always quick to underrate and condemn players from other leagues. Meanwhile La liga and other “farmers league” produced players like Costa, Silva, Aguero, Cazorla, Ozil, Torres, RVP, Drogba, Suarez, Tevez, & the almighty EPL Hazard, Hleb & Coutinho that flopped in La liga. |
Beverlyjean:Well, aside Germany & France Ronaldo scored 3 penalties against, i can’t remember him scoring any big club or country from beginning of last year till now. Ronaldo scored decent teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Hungary, Atalanta and Villarreal just like Messi scored decent teams Leipzig, Lille, Chile, Ecuador and Club Brugg. |
