U know why they dnt perform well in european competitions?
They've got lots of tough matches to play in england so this get them weak mentally.
Also they play 2 extra competions(fa cup and carabao cup) aside EPL. Men that league is tough.
Guardiola was the best coach till he came to england.
Klopp is trying.
Mourinho is still running his mouth based on past glory.
Jst admit it the league is so tough and the best because it is unpredictable.

World cup, Champions league, Seria A, European nations cup, world best player, world cup best player(2x), Seria A best player.....baba when it comes to Zidane Messi should go and sit done somewhere......both club and country's greatest prizes have been cleared up by ZiZou.....trophies Messi can only dream of...he was always the best player in every single competition he played, ALWAYS!

Player wey carry french football untop his head SUCCESSFULLY not the same wey another so called goat� could not. Baba dont ever put Zidane in your stupid Messi arguments abeg

how does this same relate, this are different goal scoring feet, no player in seria A has scored 33 goals in a single calendar year not season mumu. How does total season goal, hattrick goals and highest goal score relate to the topic. Like i said i was very positive you know nothing on the record being discus and you just proved that excellently well.

That's because they have cr7. They did not win any match when he was down with covid19,they even lost to shit barca until he came back and we know the rest of the story.. Even if they crash out of UCL you can never fault his contribution to the team. All juve knock out stage goals since his arriver where score by him. No player can do it alone they can only try.

Messi is not ahead of Ronaldo in freekicks or skills. If you want to check freekicks, go and check. As for skills, Messi is just a dribbler with the body feint, he doesn’t have anything aside that. You won’t see stepovers, or a rabona or even a knuckleball type freekick (the hardest freekick form) from Messi. Ronaldo even has one named after him, the Ronaldo chop...so I don’t understand this heavy cap you just dropped.

Lol. One was born and bred in Barcelona, grew up with people like Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta and Samuel Eto’o.
The other one was born in Sporting Lisbon, a club that no one knows any player who played there. He fired himself to Manchester United’s number 7 jersey as an 18 year old, taking over from David Beckham.
Due to being overpampered by great players, it’s not too surprising that almost all of Messi’s achievements are with Barcelona. Once he’s outside Barcelona, nothing remains. Look at him currently, the world’s greatest assist provider, as soon as they removed Suarez (the last good goal scorer of Barcelona), he now has 2 assists in 12 games played. Yet you want to tell me that Messi’s assists aren’t because he grew up with better players. Man has also scored 5 penalties out of 8 goals. You see am now?

Meanwhile, Ronaldo is a success everywhere he goes. In Sporting Lisbon, he didn’t score much, but he was able to make Sir Alex Ferguson give him United’s No. 7 shirt. In United, he was the world’s greatest skiller...then he metamorphosed into a prolific goal scorer. Till today, if you want to mention top 20 free kicks ever scored, you’ll have about 2/3 from Ronaldo’s time in Manchester United, and either 0/1 from Messi’s whole career. Messi is currently the better dribbler, yet there was a time when even people that hated Ronaldo would say he was the best dribbler in the world.
There is no aspect of football that Ronaldo has not conquered. There’s nothing in football that he cannot do/hasn’t done. Dribbles, Assists, Goals, Headers, Freekicks, Skill moves...he has all.
I shouldn’t talk too much sha. Argentina was widely known to be top 2 teams in International football, with Di Maria, Aguero, Dybala and the likes. But as soon as Ronaldo won Euro’s with Portugal, people shamelessly started saying Ronaldo has better teammates, just to make it seem like Messi is at a disadvantage. Lmao.
We can enjoy the two of them as they play their game, but if you want to drag, I can also do that one very well.

Zidane eon everything in football...league titles in Italy and Spain.. ur messi has only la liga ...nothing more...no international trophy...he is a local champion...what's the difference between di stefano and messi?? He has never even had the highest goal scorer record in CL history like stefano...the guy is just doing what Lewandowski is doing in Germany and claiming greatest... Lewandowski and messi are same cos Lewandowski has won everything messi has won in his senior career and Lewandowski has even won with 2 different clubs

Beverlyjean:
But al ahly wasn't nominated as greatest club in history... in ur words modric is better than iniesta and xavi as he has won balon dor....ronaldo deserved to b nominated in 2013 but messi wasnt even meant to b nominated after Germany and inter disgraced him...he cudnt even score one goal in the world cup... fifa had no choice but to give Ronaldo in 2013 cos of the stupid error they made by giving messi the award a yr earlier despite winning nothing but cos he scored 91 goals despite Ronaldo wrestling the league away from him..so y wudnt they give Ronaldo the award after scored 78 goals that season...if they gave Ribery, it wud hv been glaring that messi is being favoured by blatter ...tho we all know blatter dashed him awards ...same thing with the golden ball...James, neuer and muller were all better that year

Beverlyjean:
Greatest player in ur delusional head... la liga , CL that he won ages ago nothing more...he isn't even as successful as zidane ...messi is just a la liga goal scorer ..nothing more

Beverlyjean:
Balon dor is crap cos xavi or iniesta never won balon dor doesn't mean modric is better ... van dyke won best European player ,something ramos never won, does that mean van dyke is better?? Forlan won golden ball in 2010 , but was he better than sneijner in that world cup?? Awards are crap... cos fifa will give it to who they wanna give it to... we know Messi dint even deserve to b nominated in the 2010 balon dor... forlan, villa, iniesta, xavi, casillas, sneijder all performed better but blatter and his wayo... I said in Ronaldo's 9yrs in Spain he doubled the number of CL titles Messi won when Ronaldo was in Spain...that they decide to give golden boot to top leagues scorers don't discredit the CL as well cos it also has it records and awards...Platini never won a world Cup so as van Basten, but they won the European cups... appearing in a final is not an achievement cos sneijner, modric have also appeared in world cup final but no one gives a crap cos no one remembers who came second ...we only remember winners and not loosers
Talking about trophies...that he has won more laliga trophies ?? Lol ...u are a clown... ronaldo,multiple premiership, fa cup , la liga, kings cup , Champions league, fifa club world cup, serie a , nations league, European Cup... ur messi has only la liga, kings cup and champions league...fake goat

Beverlyjean:
CL is the most prestigious club trophy and not the league ...CL is the holy grail of club football... in Ronaldo's 9 yrs in Spain, he doubled the number of CL won by messi and the same period and won 6 CL golden boots in 9 yrs.... if the league is the Mercedes-Benz G class, the CL is the Mercedes-Benz maybach...its an exclusive title cos 2 clubs can't win the CL ,just like the World Cup... let messi win an international trophy first b4 u start to compare him with Ronaldo and other greats ... Zara was the highest goal scorer in the history of Spanish league b4 messi and Ronaldo broke his record set bk in the 50s ... but no one remembers him ... we only heard that name when they were about to break that record... but mention pele, Maradona, zidane, Platini, Rossi , van Basten, berkanbua and it clicks even as we dint watch them play ... messi will end up like di stefano, cruyff , zara, shearer...keep on decieving urself... pele isn't remembered for the goals and trophies he won at Santos, Maradona is not 1st remembered for what he did for napoli, zidane is not remembered for the fantastic winning goal in the CL final, Platini is not remembered for giving juve their first CL title, they are all remembered 1st for what they did for their country...

DesChyko:
Your point is because you probably didn't understand the post you quoted.
All the while you keep mentioning one player in this assist discussion, 'Messi'.
If you have read that post well, you will find that Messi was already accounted for.
Is Messi the only unselfish player on football?

In rebuttal to the last point you raised, Ronaldo didn't just become the leader overnight. He has held that record for a couple of years now (3 years after ousting former teammate Ryan Giggs). Some of those times, Messi had had more games. Yet

So it really isn't about what happens after retirement.

Tobichuks08:
quote one player in seria A with that goal feet, some peps always eager to display their ignorance, am sure you can't even explain what the record is all about. Elede

DesChyko:
1. Lionel Messi (who is behind Ronaldo in UCL assists though). Which other unselfish player has more career assists than Ronaldo?

Let's discuss this selfish player thing objectively.

Will u shut up

DesChyko:
I put it to you that Ronaldo has more assists than almost any 'unselfish' player you mention here and now.
