Messi doesn't have a rival.

Ronaldo's greatest achievement is being compared to Messi, and he should consider that as an honour
Dey play
Even Messi Dey learn from pele
Every healthy competition get rival na why messi do more to be best
If he laga Ronaldo go carry the glory cos Ronaldo sef no small
So learn to appreciate healthy rivals cos na hardwork Ronaldo Dey do and some record Ronaldo get messi still Dey dream of am so it’s vice versa hmmmm you get abi?

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!
I'm not going to emphasize much on this subject matter.

Ronaldo is the most influential footballer on earth, I wonder why the GOAT of football according to you don't have as much fans and influence as ronaldo does upon all his achievements including his world cup abi do you think people are blind to not see those achievements?

Both Players are unique, Ronaldo has his own personal achievements messi can not come close to beat!

Go and look for low lives wey you and am go follow drag unnecessary bants about messi and ronaldo, I don pass that level.

I love both players, and I love Cristiano more!

I never called you or addressed you as a low life but if you felt you could decode my response as an approach for calling you a low life, then it's your problem not mine.

You choosed to address yourself as a lowlife when i did not!

Now run along and go play with your class of low lives. 😂

I'm done with you, dude!
Choosed? grin grin Hmmm....Keep the pain, hide it behind the emoji but Messi remains the undisputable GOAT!

Your level of gaslight is very weak, you need to learn better.

I'm not feeling pained neither am i the one wailing to being referred as a lowlife when you weren't initially.

It was a certain level of pain and insecurity that gave you room to such misconception, so you ought to deal with it.

Your comments are true reflection of pains not mine, so it is up to you!

As for me, I love both players cos they are very unique and I love Cristiano more (I remain unapologetic on it).

Ronaldo is still comparable with messi, they both have their own numerous individual records. Mind you, Ronaldo has more influence off the field!
what's is the meaning of that thing you said?
What kind of off field influence?
Has it not occurred to you that cristiano is chasing a thousand goal yet he is not top five highest goal scorers in the world cup?
What's the usefulness of his almost a thousand goals?

Oh, wow! Rational beings? 😂

Omor, I didn’t realize I was talking with the supreme chairman of the Football Statistics Association that knows all about football, Please forgive my manners. (Chairman ndi messi fanclub)

Papa lo lo, you and who follow dey practice messi vs Ronaldo? Look at this small boy! 😂😂

I don't giffah damn about you and your football Extremist mindset, seems you are so eager to engage someone on a petty football bants so you could feel achieved for winning a football argument (that's probably the only thing you may probably achieve in life as a small boy wey you be).

Osim pain, am i crying because of the word "Low life"?? Maybe the word hit your nervous system that's why you are foaming in the mouth trying to proof a whack point that i am pained, Jokes on you my boy! 😂

What a looser! 😂😂

Messi is the first footballer to say no to a cheap penalty, that’s why he’s the 🐐
boss do you know if Messi scored that penalty it would have been a double hatrick that is back to back hatrick.
E really pain me after he scored the last minute goal which would have made it hatrick.
Pendu fans would have said he used penalty to top the chart

This guy is something else.
This is the same Messi of 20 years ago that gullible Nigerians were comparing with Mikel Obi and arguing arrogantly that Mikel is better than Messi and even went ahead accusing FIFA of being racist because Messi was given the FIFA under 20 best player.
Not until about 5 years later that they started withdrawing their statement small small when they realized that this Messi is super human. When they saw how incredible he was every year they say he is a god before they now promoted him to a GOAT.
I bet you didn't watch the WYC 2005. Did you? If you've had the opportunity to watch Mikel Obi play that tournament, you wouldn't be here today saying this trash about Obi. He was the best in that tournament. Only came second to Messi cos Argentina won the cup. I'm sorry to say without apologies, maybe then you were in a hurt with a candle light waiting for who's got the update on how Nigeria was faring
Re: Lionel Messi Becomes All-time Leading FIFA Men’s World Cup Scorer With 17th Goal by Fiscus105(m):
feedthenation:
---Mbappe is closely following Messi to be the highest goal scorer---and he is still 27 years old---with at least 2 world cups more---
Says by gods who seems to know tomorrow.
Adage says, a bird in hand is better than thousands in the forest, delusional guy talking as if he knows what would happen to Mbappe or even French national team tomorrow.

You should also encourage your own Mbappe to break 8 balon d' or and other achievements of GOAT. Mbappe that would be going to 32 by this time of four years. How many players still on fire after 30?

Stop being bitter when you see good things; it makes people leave longer.
