Messi no doubt

If Ronaldo played 45 el classico , he wud have scored at least 35 goals

No need for too much talk......check from 2009-2018

Lionel Messi was Real Madrid's nightmare in El clasicos.
Dude really gave them tough times.

Kingcalls:

Let's assume you're right.

You seem to have forgotten Ronaldo played about 140 games more than Messi with less than 50goals.

By your logic here, Don't you think Messi would have scored up to or more than 900 career goals had he played about 1100 matches Ronaldo has played so far?

When it comes to Ronaldo and Messi arguments, you guys suddenly become good mathematicians.

Interestingly, Lionel Messi has not scored or assisted in an El Clasico match after Ronaldo left for Juventus in 2018. It has been three years since Messi has scored or assisted in an El Clasico. He has played seven El Clasicos since Ronaldo's exit. Meeting cr in a much is a world cup to messi .He constantly turns cr into a spectator.

Nigga dealt Madrid even before his rivalry with Ronaldo began

Messi has been consistent for the past 10-12years. This season and the next can't erase his level of consistency except we share different meaning of the word.

OJEEMAH:

And they never could conquer and subdue him till he left.

Mariangeles:

Yes, they couldn't tame him.

So Messi had 2 Hattricks, 2 Free kicks and 14 assists in Elclassico. Tell me why this guy isn't the best player to play the round leather game. Dude is so good.
I have met a number of Madrid fans who conceded Messi is a better footballer than Ronaldo, just that they don't usually want to admit bcuz barca fans will not let pple rest. I have also met Liverpool and Chelsea fans with same belief.
Na only Penchester United deluded fans no gree at all.

So what happens if he fails to perform close to his usual best due to change in clubs ...

Lalasticlala what's ur take?

Messi was no longer motivated since the old fraud left. He just loved flogging the old fraud.

Kingcalls:

PSG signed Messi because of their desire and quest to win the UCL........This means that, his move to France will be judged based on that and not by winning Best Player or Top Scorer in Ligue 1.

You and this old fraud sef

Kingcalls:

How many goals did he score against Bravo & Terstegen?. The old fraud was scoring much of his goals against Valdes, the leaking basket. But when Bravo & Terstegen came, his goals reduced. While Messi was scoring freely against all Madrid world class goalkeepers.

OJEEMAH:


You and this old fraud sef

That guy na old fraud na. Last season, Bruno & co saved Ole's job up to 8 times when fans were chanting Ole must go. He finished strongly and shut them up. This season, just a couple of goals against weak teams and there's a hype about the old fraud saving Ole's job. The same team that was so consistent that Ighalo couldn't even break into.
There's nothing he is doing that the team was not doing better without him.

messi na baba na

......but were you expecting his fans to be quiet??

Messi of course has the better stats head to head it's a no brainer.

Since 2008 when CR came to madrid, Messi has scored 20 goals and over 10 assists against Ronaldo's Madrid. In these same games CR only managed 18 goals and one assist.

Messi - 31 direct goal involvements vs Madrid 2009- 2018
CR - 19 direct goal involvements vs Barca 09 - 18.

Its not even close. Messi na the GOAT

Ronaldo has more goals against Barcelona while in juventus than messi had in 3 years after ronaldo left against realmadrid despite playing them consistently.
