In your mind; maybe he is but one thing that is unarguable is that Messi is a greater player than Ronaldo.

Which one is in my mind...
What about your own mind...
Same way Ronaldo is the greatest in my mind and unarguable is the greatest....

Donsheddy:


Okay fine if you bring Ronaldo and Messi career Ronaldo comes on top lol

Comes ontop how...
Pelle that has more than 1000 career goals

Wait in what aspect?

In goals? Messi has a better goal ratio than Pendu.

In assist? Pendu doesn’t even come close.

Balon D’or? Lmaoooooooo

World Cup? Don’t make me laugh abeg

Trophies? Messi has way more trophies than Pendu and by the end of the season he will be the most decorated player ever.

Chances created? Dribbles? Team play? MVPs or MOTM awards? Respect among his fellow players?

Please how is Penaldo ever better than Messi?


About Pele’s over 1000 goals, depending on the source, he officially has about 750 goals...

Fira09:


Vincent.A will still overshine Cr7 in Al Nassr



Ok, but Messi is still attaining more at his age and is more likely to attain more unlike Ronaldo, can you guys just attest that Ronaldo is currently 'finished' in his footballing career without linking his past achievements & Titles?

If any one of his fans can admit that I would be satisfied.

After degrading French league because of Messi; y’all are finding funny angles to make Ronaldo’s move to Saudi seem like anything other than shameful.

The same man that jested and mocked other professionals for going to Asia. He’s now in one of the most democratically backwards nations in the world that has no real sporting history. Lol. I can’t wait for his wife and family to begin complaining about how they can’t live in Saudi because of the strict sharia laws.

At 38 you still compare him
That shows he a better player than your goat

Comparing Haaland to Messi? Do you watch Messi play at all. Do you how deep he plays in games even when he’s supposed to be a forward, does Mbappe do that often?. And he still has that number of goals. Still have that number of assists. Still gives defense splitting passes and dribbles to create chances. Still attracts opposition players to himself to free his team mates to score.

Compared to Messi, Pendu has played over 140+ matches and Messi is just about 20+ goals away to catch up with him lmao..

He led Portugal to their first ever trophy and he couldn’t even with the tournament MVP . So how did he led them. With the haram football Portugal played in 2016, thank God for Eder .

Who had bottled many final? If he bottled many finals, he won’t have that much trophies. Besides, it makes him an outstanding player for player so many finals unlike Pendu. Check the picture below to see how Messi stats in finals compare to Pendu

Messi scored 4 league goals? How can you announce your ignorance with pride bro? I’m not surprised, Pendu fans have a way of distorting facts and numbers. FYI, Messi scored six goals in 26 Ligue 1 matches. And he made of for the lack of goals (by his standard) by assisting 14 times. That’s 20 goal contributions in 26 games. Other players will be satisfied to have this stats at the end of every season, including Pendu, as he is now.

Let me remind you that Pendu has scored just 1 (ONE) league goal this season. If that’s not finished, I don’t know what that is.

First of all Pendu is 37, I don’t know why you guys want to make him old by force. He’s agemate with Modric and Modric is still balling at Madrid and not getting benched in Croatia.

If he’s not better than Modric as at today, how’s he better than Messi?

You need to come to terms that Pendu was rejected by reasonable clubs and that’s why he has settled for the Saudi League.

Yet there’s one man that has won everything there is in football and you think Pele is greater; no problem!

Other than the World Cups that he won; no other notable competition comes to mind.

Your job in Europe was not done when you told Mendes to get you a UCL club.

Your job in Europe was not done when you wanted your contract terminated in orders to play for a UCL club.

Your job in Europe was not done when you granted an interview with Piers Morgan to criticized Man united management and slammed the previous and current coach.

Are you trying to say, Al Nasr is more ambitious than Man united?

In between the line, lies the truth.

Let’s stop sugarcoating this move. The simple truth is no champions league club was ready to sign Ronaldo and instead of playing Europa League, it’s best to accept this bogus deal cos age is no longer on his side.

Moving to Qatar after criticizing Xavi is pure hypocrisy.

very stupid argument
who can afford Ronaldo salary package
forget all this your stupid story Arabians get plenty money � ��
Newcastle, Messi, Neymar, man City, Guardiola, mbappe, CR7, PSG, Haaland in a short time Arab will colonize Europe

526 of his goals were scored in unsanctioned games
When taking into account Ronaldo and Messi's current career goal totals, only goals scored in officially sanctioned matches count, friendlies included.

Pele, however, has a different idea of what counts as a goal to add to his tally.

Pele scored 757 official goals in his career. 643 for Santos, 77 for Brazil, and 37 during his stint with the New York Cosmos at the end of his career.

He also scored another 526 in unofficial friendlies and tour games, goals that if scored today, would not be counted as official.

Pele won't stop claiming he is football's greatest ever goalscorer. Here's why he is wrong.

Brazilian soccer icon Pele has recently reasserted his belief that he is soccer's greatest ever goalscorer with 1,283 goals.
However, upon inspection, 526 of his goals were scored in unsanctioned games against opponents such as Bulgaria's B team and Ghanaian outfit Accra Hearts of Oak.
According to data from the RSSSF, Pele isn't even the greatest ever goalscorer from Brazil.
That crown instead goes to Romario, who managed 772 for club and country, 15 more than Pele.
Pele is undeniably one of the best to have ever played the game, but what he isn't, is soccer's highest ever scorer.
Insider previously reported that Pele updated his Instagram biography after Ronaldo overtook him in the scoring charts. He has since denied that suggestion in a tweet.

This past Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 758th goal of his career, and in the process overtook Brazilian icon Pele as the second-highest goalscorer in football history.

It was reported — including by Insider — that Pele quickly changed his Instagram bio after Ronaldo's goal to describe himself as the "Leading Goal Scorer of All Time."

Pele has since denied that claim, but regardless, Ronaldo's feat reignited a longstanding debate about exactly how many goals Pele actually scored during his storied career.

Pele himself claims that he scored 1,283 goals, a claim backed up by the Guinness Book of World Records. That's more than 400 more than his closest rival.


That number, however, doesn't give the true picture of his goal tally, and in fact, vastly inflates it.

Pele's refusal to accept that Ronaldo has surpassed him came just days after his former club, Santos, denied that Lionel Messi had beaten the 80-year-old's record for the most ever goals scored for a single club.

Pele officially scored 643 competitive goals for Santos between 1956 and 1974, one fewer than Messi has now managed for FC Barcelona, however Santos quickly released a statement after Messi's record-breaking goal to insist Pele actually managed 1,091 goals during his time at the Urbano Caldeira Stadium – 448 more than the record books claim.

So is Pele really soccer's most prolific ever scorer as he and his former club claim? The answer is no, and here is why.

He also scored another 526 in unofficial friendlies and tour games, goals that if scored today, would not be counted as official.


Pele
Pele after winning the 1970 World Cup. Getty Images
The reason those unofficial goals exist is pretty simple.

After winning the World Cup with Brazil in 1958, Pele became an international megastar, and his club Santos wanted to capitalize on his and his teammates' newfound fame and global appeal.

The result was hundreds and hundreds of non-sanctioned matches against teams all over the world, with Pele scoring hundreds of goals in these games.

"We were in demand," he said in his 2006 autobiography. "The suits were very keen to cash in. There was no time to relax; there was barely enough time to travel from stadium to stadium."



And that Is why....
He scored the goal but some where in unsanctioned games.......

then how is ronaldo the all time men goalscorer?

And he scored 643 club goals in 659 appearances that's for those shouting goal ratio
