Please change that 17 to 18. Ronaldo no go get HBP for this tournament. Mbappe will be the eventually top in the next few years.

It is a shame that this generation compares this guy to Ronaldo.

No rational person can watch both of them play, see how they control games and score goals, and conclude that Ronaldo is even close to Messi, let alone better than him.

To every rational football mind, Messi is the undisputed greatest player of all time.
Nah delulu dey worry them.

Messi no dey do cheap goals.. He meticulously carries the ball to score and he will hardly fall to get cheap penalty.

He's ageing like wine. Becoming sweeter with age. Now that he's old, he's likely to perform better in goalscoring than before, because he will better position himself in a more closer position to the goalpost than before when he was younger. Walahi, if Messi has always been the top striker in his younger years, he would have scored almost double of the total goals he has right now.

Messi doesn't have a rival.

Ronaldo's greatest achievement is being compared to Messi, and he should consider that as an honour

The corruption continues . 2022 and 2026 are obviously rigged for Messi . A red card offence in the fist match did not even attract a yellow card. 2022 hand ball against holland . With plenty penalties . He is not a goat. He is a favoured midget

Ronaldo is still comparable with messi, they both have their own numerous individual records. Mind you, Ronaldo has more influence off the field!

Messi isn't competing with ANYBODY on any levels. He stopped after the last world cup!

Let Ronaldo tryyy to come close because catching up is future tense impossible tense!
