SOURCESir how many seasons did he play in PSG and what did he win that they have not before he comes


what is MLS league and what is the level of it in soccer generally


He played two seasons at PSG and won three titles better than what Ronaldo won at United second coming. Messi won two ligue 1 and 1 French cup. What did Ronaldo win at Man United for two seasons? Even at his three years at Juventus, he didnt win more than four trophies. Messi had G/A of 67 in two season at PSG. He won Copa America and World cup and Finalisima during the time. All these will remain mirage for Ronaldo for life.

Messi changed club for the first time in about 18years and you just expect him to hit the ground running in a dysfunctional club where he’s not even the man leading from the front.

If you think Ronaldo will survive playing a supporting role to Mbappe in PSG, then you really don’t understand football as much as I thought.

Messi who was literally operating from the wing & sometimes behind Mbappe in a team full of stars with egos clashing here and there, you think it will be easy at 34year?

Ronaldo never played for a disorganized team like PSG.

Ronaldo joined a Man U team that gave him all the support and as a teen, the guy had less pressure. He grew into the team with the help of senior players like Scholes, Giggs, Ferdinand and others. Not a team like PSG where you have to fight 2 egoistic players like Mbappe or Neymar to become the main man.

If Ronaldo had joined Madrid when Zidane, Figo and R9 were all there, his case would have been like Beckham and Owen or do you think, Zidane, Figo and R9 will give him all the penalties and free kick?

Or you de expect player like Zidane or Figo to always pass the ball like Ozil and Kroos to CR7?

Na R9 go de pass ball to CR7 like Benzema and Rooney?

He joined juventus as a star player. As a matter of fact, all the players were beneath his level. No one was close. He automatically became the main star.

With his bloated ego, if he joined PSG, he would have clashed with Neymar and Mbappe more than once and that’s what Messi was trying to avoid and the circumstances upon which Messi left the Barcelona also affected him.

Don’t you understand some factors may have affected Messi

See the theories you have been creating is purely out of hatred.

Logically speaking, a player that failed outside Barcelona cannot be putting up match winning performances and also winning MVP in most international tournaments he participated with Argentina or are you now calling Argentina national team, Barcelona?
guy,na prof you suppose be.you said the exact words out from my mouth.
Messi withdrew himself from competing with the two as they were fighting for who the boss will be.so as senior wey him be,he just played along with them.

Psg could have been unstoppable if they had played around Messi. Messi is a type of player who is not self centered,if the team is built around him like they do now in Miami,Messi would score,create more chances and provide numerous assists for you also to score.(making sure that everyone is happy).
A case study of that is what happened in Barca MSN)

Lionel Messi's consistent standout performances in the American continent are dispelling the reservations many people once had concerning the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.

This shift also includes legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson's perspective in the context of comparing Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a result, Inter Miami have secured a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup by virtue of their qualification for the league's cup final, marking yet another groundbreaking achievement within the club's five-year history.

Proving himself beyond the comforts of Barcelona was a feat some questioned whether Messi could accomplish, even including the esteemed Sir Alex Ferguson among the sceptics.

Back then, Messi had solely represented one club, Barcelona, in La Liga. On the other hand, Ronaldo had an extensive history, playing for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, Manchester United in England, Real Madrid in Spain, and Juventus in Italy.

Ronaldo's remarkable journey encompassed not only various countries and clubs, but his exceptional performance in each league underscored his extraordinary skill and adaptability, demonstrating his prowess across diverse countries and competitions.

Ferguson on Messi vs Ronaldo

According to The Mirror, Ex-Manchester United's iconic manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, shared his thoughts in 2015 on the highly debated Messi vs Ronaldo topic, stating:

"People say, 'Who is the best player in the world?' And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi - you can't dispute that opinion. But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers… anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet; he's quick, great in the air, he's brave - Messi's brave, of course. I think Messi's a Barcelona player."

MESSI PROVES SIR ALEX FERGUSON WRONG

The sheer numbers Messi has amassed since entering the league have shattered this notion.

Leo Messsi has played 11 matches for Inter Miami, the Argentine has netted 11 goals and provided 5 assists.

He also won league’s cup, he was the best player in the tournament and the first ever trophy for his new club. It should be noted that Inter Miami is worst team in the MLS before Messi joined them. Recently, they defeated the reigning champions of the MLS(LAFC) at home, the matched end 3-1.

Its a great feeling that SAF is alive to eat his words, this old man is a glorified local champion. He managed one club throughout his career, yet he has a problem with a player playing solely for a club. What an hypocrite!! This is the same Messi that cost his team 2 UEFA champions league finals.

The way you people come online without any verification of facts beats my imagination. Google about Sir Alex Ferguson career and see if he managed only one club.

Make I just put am out for you. Ronaldo and Messi are both good no there have been one of the best for the past 13 years but they are not currently the best at the moment.

They have both pass their prime. Messi and Ronaldo can't score 30+ goals anymore... Though they can still play in Europe but they won't be able to do what they were doing before.. they won't be able to give the goals and assist they were giving when they were young.

America and Saudi league are basically retirement home for them as they play with semi pro players.

Op,

Always do your research, how can you say Sir Alex Ferguson managed one team? Have you heard of Aberdeen?

Well they beat Barcelona to win the European cup under Sir Alex Ferguson's management.
He won a second-rate competition ant not the top European cup which was rebranded as the UCL...

Take away dodgy refereeing calls and likely manipulations and Ferguson would have been just a good coach...

You can't compare him to Guardiola or even Wenger and Mourinho because each man brought one kind of innovation or the other.

What was Ferguson's unique signature in football apart from being there when Howard Webb was helping Man United win titles?

One important question everyone has overlooked is why did Inter Miami sign two other ex-Barcelona players after Messi joined? This is to create the cohesion that Messi requires to perform.

Ronaldo has gone to Saudi and performed before the likes of Mane et al joined to help improve his game.

What didnt happen in psg? Did psg win league before messi came? After messi came, did they win back the league? Did he secure d league for them in the 2nd year be4 he left?
In Barcelona nothing was given to messi, his talent pulled through.. Same way his talent shore bright all the way from the little unknown Rosario santa fe, that made a scout sign a professional contract on a napkin as tomorrow is to late. The other idiot was already in Europe his comfort zone yet nobody saw him because he didnt convince anyone with his performances.
Messi won u20 it was not Barcelona?
He won Olympics, Copa America, World cup
And play 4 final of copa and 1 World cup runner up.. All outside Barcelona.. Only a dullard will say he cant do anything outside Barcelona.. Let Ronaldo show us what he achieved in those same tournaments.

Lionel Messi's consistent standout performances in the American continent are dispelling the reservations many people once had concerning the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.

This shift also includes legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson's perspective in the context of comparing Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a result, Inter Miami have secured a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup by virtue of their qualification for the league's cup final, marking yet another groundbreaking achievement within the club's five-year history.

Proving himself beyond the comforts of Barcelona was a feat some questioned whether Messi could accomplish, even including the esteemed Sir Alex Ferguson among the sceptics.

Back then, Messi had solely represented one club, Barcelona, in La Liga. On the other hand, Ronaldo had an extensive history, playing for Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, Manchester United in England, Real Madrid in Spain, and Juventus in Italy.

Ronaldo's remarkable journey encompassed not only various countries and clubs, but his exceptional performance in each league underscored his extraordinary skill and adaptability, demonstrating his prowess across diverse countries and competitions.

Ferguson on Messi vs Ronaldo

According to The Mirror, Ex-Manchester United's iconic manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, shared his thoughts in 2015 on the highly debated Messi vs Ronaldo topic, stating:

"People say, 'Who is the best player in the world?' And plenty of people quite rightly say Messi - you can't dispute that opinion. But Ronaldo could play for Millwall, Queens Park Rangers, Doncaster Rovers… anyone, and score a hat-trick in a game. I'm not sure Messi could do it. Ronaldo's got two feet; he's quick, great in the air, he's brave - Messi's brave, of course. I think Messi's a Barcelona player."

MESSI PROVES SIR ALEX FERGUSON WRONG

The sheer numbers Messi has amassed since entering the league have shattered this notion.

Leo Messsi has played 11 matches for Inter Miami, the Argentine has netted 11 goals and provided 5 assists.

He also won league’s cup, he was the best player in the tournament and the first ever trophy for his new club. It should be noted that Inter Miami is worst team in the MLS before Messi joined them. Recently, they defeated the reigning champions of the MLS(LAFC) at home, the matched end 3-1.

Its a great feeling that SAF is alive to eat his words, this old man is a glorified local champion. He managed one club throughout his career, yet he has a problem with a player playing solely for a club. What
an hypocrite!! This is the same Messi that cost his team 2 UEFA champions league finals.

It's funny how people write without getting their facts right. How did you come to the conclusion that Sir Alex Ferguson only coached Manchester united? well he never disrespected Messi he only aired his opinion.

Stop looking for problem where there is none.

guy,na prof you suppose be.you said the exact words out from my mouth.
Messi withdrew himself from competing with the two as they were fighting for who the boss will be.so as senior wey him be,he just played along with them.

Psg could have been unstoppable if they had played around Messi. Messi is a type of player who is not self centered,if the team is built around him like they do now in Miami,Messi would score,create more chances and provide numerous assists for you also to score.(making sure that everyone is happy).
A case study of that is what happened in Barca MSN)
Exactly!

Neymar didn’t have a problem with Messi’s arrival. Remember he almost forced a move back to Barcelona to play with Messi. Infact, he was the main reason Messi joined PSG since his move back to Barca didn’t materialize. Messi felt with him and Mbappe, the can recreate MSN success in Europe.

The problem was Mbappe. He was intimidated by Messi’s presence. Little did he know that Messi is the most selfless baller anybody can play with. If not for his ego, they would have formed a formidable attack even more deadly than MSN but he was brainwashed thinking his contributions will be attributed to Messi.

I wouldn’t blame him sha…He knows Messi and Neymar are close friends and he saw how Neymar have been trying to lure Messi. He probably thought Neymar and Messi may sideline him.

Neymar played his best football with Messi. Same with Suarez. If Neymar could turn back the hands of time, he would never have left Barcelona.

Messi left many penalties and free kicks for Neymar and Suarez even when he was competing for top scorer with Ronaldo.

When Suarez joined Barcelona newly, Enrique’s formation frustrated him….Messi told Enrique to deploy Suarez as the center forward while he operates from the flank. As soon as that was done, the MSN trio began to score with reckless abandon. They won treble and Neymar was nominated for Balon D’or while Suarez ended up winning European Golden Boot.

Even though he didn’t really cooperate, Messi was responsible for about 50-60% of the goals he scored last season.

See what he wrote on his IG page during Messi’s birthday.
