So what about the free kicks.... Ronaldo has more, we don't go about screaming it

with your logic,it means Haaland is better than Ronaldo too right? Cuz Ronaldo didn't do 70 in the same La Liga
The op compared messi with halland and not Ronaldo...I hv noticed that Messi fans always wanna degrade other world talents to uplift the fraud....they did it to Neymar in barca , Aguero in Argentina , Mbappe in Paris, Lewandowski for Balon D'or, now they hv shifted to haaland...Ronaldo's own is everlasting...I hv never seen Ronaldo's fans trying to degrade other players to uplift him...its Messi fans that always do that....bitter souls that dint wanna accept that he is finished

Everything Messi won more than Ronaldo become irrelevant... Very confused and bitter set of people.
Messi won more la Liga, the La Liga immediately lose its value
Immediately Messi got his 6th Balon D'Or, the award lose it's credible and value
Copa America trophies lose its relevance the moment Messi won it even tho it was used to taunt him for 15 years
6 European Golden shoes Became irrelevant and what every dick and Harry could've done the moment Messi have more than Ronaldo.
91 goals now turn to the easy feat Haaland will break because it involves Messi but none of them ever talked about Ronaldo 3 EPL hat tricks in 8 years which Haaland broke in 10 games. None of them is talking of 17 goals in UCL which Haaland might be breaking too, since Haaland scored 10 UCL goals twice playing for Salzburg and Dortmund, he will score 20 for Man City, according to that fanatic called Beverlyjean

Use simple knowledge... even if all the goals dint all come from club...it still shows the OP tried to trick those without facts that he scored 91 club goals which is false...he scored 78 goals for club and 13 for country ... halland has 22 for club in 14 games... he still got about 42 games to go for club ,meaning at this rate , he us projected to score 66 more....let me help u do the maths...thats 88 goals for club alone , apart from country which he already has 4 goals playing for country this season...he will still play more games for country...meaning he cud hit 100 goals if city gets to the final of FA cup and UCL

Thanks to the great men of xavi and iniesta... with only KDB which we know as V6 backing halland...imagine if he had two V8 engines in iniesta and xavi...he will surpass 100 goals ... if u can score 30 goals in the EPL , y can score almost double of that in la liga... since he joined farmers league, he packed up...even suarez did 40 goals in barca...Lewandowski already on 11 goals in 9 games at age 34 with that push and start barca team

Besides stop lying...messi dint do 91 for barca ...it was for club and Country
Another foolish statement.

The way Henry left to Barcelona and the scored "double" in La Liga?

Or Michael Owen?

Now lets move to the fooolish over-emphasis on Xavi and Iniesta.

In the year Messi scored 91 goals, lets look at the assists.

Iniesta had 13 assists for Barcelona alone.

Xavi had 19 assists for Barcelona AND Spain.

Messi had 21 assists for Barcelona alone.


So, Messi had even more assist than they had and you obviously are not fooooolish enough (you might surprise me) to say they can dribble better than Messi.

So not only was messi scoring 91 goals, he was was assisting more than anybody else at Barcelona in the same year.

And when Xavi and Iniesta retired, he was still banging in the goals and assisting beyond belief.

So cut this mooooronic crap about Xavi and Iniesta.

What Penaldo does with penalty stats, Messi doing with assisiting and dribbling.

you are gradually losing it, there's a thin line between being a fan and a fanatic.

Haaland breaking Messi record of 91 goals directly means he would be shattering any record held by Ronaldo along the line but you are too bitter to even think of that, your focus is only on Messi.

You are not a football fan, Just another Ronaldo Zombie. Every living creature will break Messi records but Ronaldo's will stand tall till eternity. What a warped mentality.


Lewandowski, Haaland will break Messi record Which your Ronaldo himself couldn't

OMNIVIRUS:
Ronaldo evolved to be the greatest goal Scorer of his generation and ever in football.
However football is a package biko. If you want to analyse, let's look at the offensive abilities you bring to the game
1. Who is a better dribbler?
2. Who is a better Passer?
3. Who is a better creative influence
4. Then you look at Who is a better Scorer
5. Finally Who has more assists?

You win see that messi wins 4/5 categories. The only category he loses is goals scored and he has played almost more than 150 games less than the goat goal Scorer and he is scoring ooo don't forget that
Stop talking crap!!!

Messi is the greatest scorer of his generation!

Look at goals per game, not just goals. Messi will win.

Then if you decide to remove penalties, Penaldo would even be worse off in his rate.

Penaldo's gra-gra to take penalties and yet he does not score at the same rate as Messi.

We are not yet even talking about subjective things like the quality and beauty of the goals.

Nobody is degrading Haaland. The simple reason for the comparison is that Haaland this season has the highest goal-scoring rate since Messi of 2012 and it is only he that can threaten Messi's 91 goal record at that rate. So it is only natural that comparisons will be drawn between the holder and the threatener.

On a total footballing level, every sane person knows Haaland cannot be compared to Messi which is why Guardiola categorically said that Haaland needs his teammates to function well while Messi could do it all alone. And he is right. Anything else is bullsh1t.

And how about when you Pendulums regularly bashed Morata for CR at Juve or Bruno at Man utd, or even Benzema & Bale at Madrid. Una get short memory ba?

Saying Messi is finished is the most deluded thing ever. Messi that currently has one of the highest G&A this season that is only bettered by Haaland, Neymar & Lewandowski in all top 5 European leagues this season. If you didn't know, Messi is currently a top 5 contender for the next Ballon d'or and don't start wailing when it becomes reality just like I told you back in 2021 several months before Messi won it.

So what's stopping Messi from Scoring as much Goals as Haaland this season / This year huh




You mean The most complete Dwarf huh

Someone that can't score Penalty huh

Someone that can't use right foot huh

Someone that can't score with head huh

How is that one complete huh


NB : Omo this post really pain people grin As e dey pain una na so e dey sweet us.



Now count how many goals Ronaldo have scored with left foot, Then count how many he scored with head.

Let's leave sentiment, Messi is the most talented player ever, Ronaldo is the most complete footballer ever.
Mbappe & Neymar.

I believe (me personally) that he's consciously trying not to take their shine. I might be wrong .

Very fcking well said.

It was ridiculous he was not in the Top 30.

He definitely was not in Top 10 and even arguably not in Top 20, but not to make Top 30 was a joke.

He was being judged by Messi standard, not comparative standards.

Many of the Top 30 players did not perform to the level he performed at PSG last year.

If it was Iwobi that played the way Messi played for PSG last year, he would be in the Top 20 straight away.

Messi plays in the farmer's league where only one team exists ... he will be totally forgotten if he was in Italy or England ... there is no competition in France... to show u how weak they are, they cudnt even beat benfica home and away ...they hv conceded in every single game in the CL, even against maccabi....

How can u even say pep said Messi don't need players to function... since when did football turn to long jump.... even in Tennis a player needs the opposing player to function... u guys really think so highly of this Messi guy ...if he was as good as u all said , he wud hv won at least 2 world cups and multiple copa America since he doesn't need anyone to function ... dont forget it took him 9 attempts b4 he cud with the copa...
