positivetaught:You have no point, sir. I'd describe the EPL as mickey mouse league, and that's being objective - their performance in the UCL over the years butresses that. Y'all said Messi wouldn't perform without Xavi and Iniesta but he has become an hybrid of those guys, and performed very well without Xavi while Iniesta has aged. They said the same about MSN, yet Messi is top of the scoring chats with Neymar gone. All those guys are the VARIABLES, but Messi is the CONSTANT in the Barcelona arithmetic over the years. Pray tell; did CR7 have farmers and carpenters as team mates in United or even at R.Madrid? MESSI HAS NOTHING TO PROVE BY GOING TO A MICKEY MOUSE LEAGUE! 4 Likes 1 Share |

LoJ: In football skills and genius, Messi has done every single thing Maradona has done, even more times than Maradona. Ronaldinho is the ultimate in this and the ultimate entertainer. Messi is already the greatest! 1 Like |

Sagamite: Cruyff invented the Barcelona style of play that Messi learned at La Masia. You could practically call Messi a football progeny of Cryuff. R9 came back from an injury that can only be described as a miracle. Which is the foremost reason why he is called El fenomeno. And he is the only other player in history who has the goalscoring instincts of CR7. Ronaldinho transformed football into an art. Neither Pele, Maradonna, Messi played as beautifully as he did when he was at his best. Not to take anything away from the later 3, but all they did/do is run past people with the ball stuck to their feet. Ronaldinho commanded the ball with ET-like touches. Zizzinho inspired Ronaldinho. And was the first since Heleno to play like he was painting. Heleno made football an art form. Garrincha was better than Pele. He just didn't stay at the top level as long as Pele did. It's like comparing Ronaldinho to Neymar. It's pretty clear that Neymar would eventually surpass Ronaldinho in terms of stats and how long he'd be a top-flight legend. But Ronaldinho is unarguably better. Aside Cryuff, all the other names I mentioned didn't stay as legends for 10+ years like Messi, Maradonna, Pele, and CR7. But if we're talking mainly based on ability, they enter the GOAT list comfortably. All of them could carry teams all by themselves when it mattered and they did. -Lord |

Xsem:Not correct to say football was easy back then. It was very physical then. Pele scored loads of goals cos he played against weak opposition but not Maradona. And Maradona played in Spain when the la Liga was very rough. He even has a career threatening injury from a playing in Celtic Bilbao known as the 'Butcher of Bilbao'. He moved from Spain and played fof Napoli in the Seria A. The Serie A in the late 80's and throughout the 90's had the toughest, physically brute players. They injured one of the finest Van Basten and he retired at the age of 28, Baggio also suffered many career threatening injuries. Watch Mexico 86 and Italia 90 and see the hardtackles Maradona endured with scant referee protection. Today football is less physical. A little touch on Messi or Ronaldo the ref blows foul. Football is physically soft now. Perhaps it's tactically tough today but not physically tough. |

ObaKlaz: No mind them. The record of Nigeria vs Argentina at senior level is Arg 5 wins, Ngr 2 wins and 2 draws. Nigeria has beaten Argentina twice when Messi was not in the team. The first time we did, the embarassed Argentina quickly organised a rematch a week later with Messi in their team and he destroyed us! He taught us a good lesson. Shows you how dependent the Argentina team is on him and how poor most of the rest of players are. |

Xsem:please school 'em Ronaldo fanboys very well...They all expect Messi to grace their mickey mouse league(EPL) before they will agree that he's better and they keep spewing trash about how Ronaldo left the EPL for La-Liga like he left on his own. Real Madrid met his valuation and he was sold so any damn club that want Messi in their rank should cough out his buyout clause or even more and see if Barcelona won't sell |

1wolex85: Far better, mate. They both played from non-9 offensive positions. Cruyff was a decent dribbler and good passer, CR7 is a prolific goalscorer from the wings. I would go with the goalscorer in this case. Cruyff, to me, is not even as good as Ronaldinho and Zidane but he is in the same league with them. |

KinzyeWriter: Lol,it was Barcelona that gave him 4× best player consecutively which Pele in the question not even won.Watin Ronaldo won in sporting?? U guys like to spew trash.Portugal team won the trophy without Ronaldo even 3rd in confed cup without Ronaldo. Wat d poo ar u spewing. Messi is a playmaker, dribbler,creative Nd can determine match nd even goal scorer. Ronaldo lack dribble accuracy,an't create chances from midfield, just 190% trash expect goal.No diff between Ronaldo,Kean,Aguero nd co.He is only prolific striker nothing else.If u doubt me,there are many matches messi won't score goal but will b given man of the match.That enough will tell u Leo is not about goal but assist,creative,dribble ,create spaces nd so on.Ronaldo is no where near messi though he is a good hardworker ,good finisher but can never near talent of messi. 1 Like |
