McTominay:
You are speaking about records and you just dey blab. Agreed Messi owns some records Ronaldo can never match, but u or we didn't consider that Messi had grown accustomed to la liga and it's slow paced football; if not how do we explain Ronaldo having more assists than the most creative player presently in the champions league? Messi is more suited to la liga. Let me still tell you that Messi will struggle in ligue 1 because it's faster and has more tough tacklers than la liga.
Finally, do you remember in 2012 when r.madrid won the league and both them and Barcelona failed in the champions league? Who won the balon d'or that year?

Omeizadean:
But alas the next generation u re talking about has already know there is always human flaws in selection of who win some of these awards.

There have been two to three time Sepp blatter robbed CR7 of Ballon D'or based on his sentimental inclination towards Messi.
The thing that count and will still count is wether a player in an all rounder in time of globetrotting and personal record setting and breaking.

ThierryJay:
Very smart comment OJ. The other OJ you quoted is pretending as if he doesn't know that Man City would likely have equalized if Messi had not killed their morale off with that brilliant second goal, because Man City played very well and were putting PSG's defence under tremendous pressure after the introduction of Foden.

ojaysam25:
You're one of those messi fan that i always applaud for been constructive in a ronaldo & messi debate. Messi is a great player same as ronaldo but i notice most of messi fan kids always do everything to downplay ronaldo effort. I am just giving them a piece of thier own coin.

paulolee:
seeing Rooney saying "messi would torture u before killing u" reminds me of barca vs man.u finals dt barca destroyed them...
I pity d way fergie dey red n shake....
since dt day eeh, Fergie no fit ever like messi..

ojaysam25:
Messi scores a good but imagine if he was the one that score that man u defender goal and any player scores that his goal, he would still have won the award. He must be kept happy after struggling so far. What has he contributed to psg since he came remove his stats psg would still have won all their match and even better.
Ronaldo has given man utd 7 points out of 15 in 5 matches. If messi goes on a vacation the whole year psg will still keep winning without him....one of them is more important to their respective team and its ororo.

Christiansen:
Anyone who isn't a fan of Man Utd, Madrid, and Juventus would tell you Messi is the greatest out there. Even some fans of these teams Ronaldo has played for would even agree that messi is better. It's just those punk's who just love living in denial that won't accept. Las Las if Messi can win a balon dor and UCL again before he retires, anyone who compares him to anyone again should best not be annoyed when called an idiot

Gamesmart:
CR7 also has the record of:

- Most goals scored on a grass that is 2cm or less tall
- Most goals scored while the fans are looking at the goal post
- Most goals scored when the most amount of drivers outside the stadium are honking
- Only player to score 2 goals when the referee is wearing black
- Most goals scored when the 2 managers are on their feet
- Only player to score 2 penalties while all 11 opposition players are looking at the ball

Legend of the game

He creates records and breaks same records. "GOAT"!

unbitchable:
The title rather be; Messi's Performance against English Booty Calls.

Psg vs ManUtd is a Must this season. He needs to increase his rounds from 4 to 7. Messi has already booked room 306.

ThierryJay:
This na obvious conclusion na. Even Ferdinand shares the same view but is careful not to openly express it around his fellow more fanatical Man Utd pundits fans; Gary Neville and Michael Owen.

ALL Barca fans and ex-players believe Messi is the better of the two.

Some Manutd fans and ex-players believe Messi is the better

Many Real Madrid fans and ex-players and president believe Messi is the better of the two

Majority of other clubs fans and ex-players believe Messi is the better of the two.

What does the above tell you? Messi shares GOAT recognition with CR in two of Ronaldo's strongholds while CR does not have any share in Messi's stronghold. Messi also takes the lion share in neutral strongholds. Tells you who's more widely recognized as GOAT globally.

constance500:
If your goat moved to epl some years ago we would know his stats by now... From farmers league to farmers league..

constance500:
Stats still shows ororo is ahead... And one has been playing in farmers league all his life..

Kingcalls:
Ronaldo has scored 684 club goals ,while messi is on 673

Omeizadean:
Ronaldo stats is more valuable and enviable than Messi

U can't compare a veteran who have fought wars on different sides, barriers-either of language, weather or culture, etc to the one who emassed on his accolades fighting war on known enemies for the better part of his career.
This singular fact will always made Messi a demi god where CR7 is GOD!

Omeizadean:
U said u have never seen the likes of Terry, Lampard etc criticising. That's because u re not watching enough. The upside fact is they became pundit because those stations saw something quite unique in them.

lichocho:
na Neville I get issues with I swear..dat guy no know anything.with him big mouth

phr0nesis:
Roy Keane too
Funny thing, none of them Sabi anything

obembet:
can't a Goat eat grass in peace again?

JohnnyPalmer:
The same ex-players turned pundits are the reason behind man United Mourinho sack

Mourinho was the last one to win them a trophy, finished 2nd in the league with a below average squad
Man said it ranks as one of his greatest achievements
in football

But they will never criticise Ole because he belongs to the old united boys club

JohnnyPalmer:
If your tapinaldo had eaten same grass, he wouldn't be knocked out of the Champions league by Porto

Totilopussylick:
look at you

You fine reach Ronaldo?

Bornsinner7:
The girl sef no Shame dey tell us say na love at first site.. na Ronaldo be the first person to come buy something for the store wey she been dey work??

Olarewajutv:
Dolores Aveiro, the mother of Cristiano Ronaldo, doesn't want to see her son marry current partner Georgina Rodriguez as she believes the Argentine-born model has economic motives for a union.

patrickmuf:
At the bolded, it shows you really understand football...He tries to be too clever and sometimes, it backfires...

Mangekyo:
I hope you aren't actually expecting someone whose played lesser matches to outscore one whose played more matches.
Goal to game ratio is there. Messi is clear
