For me Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time

He played against CR7 too.

England.. Italy... Germany etc

Why England ,Germany are their league better than Spanish league. If you are the best you have to prove yourself against the best.The last time I checked Barcelona and Madrid are the biggest and best club in the world, some anything less than that is going backwards.

If you remove goals from Ronaldo.....He's nothing

If you remove goals from Messi.....You would still see his work rates in the game....The beautiful passes and nutmegs

rickyboss333:


are u sure of wat ur saying? if that is, where then will that place Ronaldinho?

Dribbling requires a whole variety of skills put in one. Hazard is good no doubt about that, but u would agree with me that he doesnt possess enough skills 2 be a dribbler. he simply does what messi does (except that messi does it better), which is "on the run" pursuit. He is also very fast with the ball glued to his legs, once again just like messi (except that messi does it better) but he is not the fastest sprinter (I believe that's where CR7 comes in). so these things are pretty technical and should be judged as such
my own thoughts though.
alright sir

This is the video . . very funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dl20ceJlik

Dele Adeleye that once played in junior level against Messi told me how he saw Messi when he played against him.

He said in his word "Messi was like a lion who takes the ball to you and very quick that my heart pound whenever he's coming" . . I guess other players will say same thing. Ronaldo is a great goal scorer but Messi is a joy to watch. Has the quality of goalscoring, dribbling, playmaking, making assist. I'll cry the day he quits football

He might be right though.

The Difference is:

MESSI IS BORN FOOTBALLER

while

C.RONALDO IS TRAINED FOOTBALLER



like for MESSI share for RONALDO
rubbish analogy...some people can come up with stupid ideas sha...every talent is inborn u need to practice to make it better...remember Lionel messi initially doesn't know how to play free kicks and also improve on his ambidexterity...whereas ronaldo as well but ronaldo is better because he is more hardworking and more dedicated to the game..not saying messi is not hardworking we av seen messi several times play with injuries...but ronaldo could die on the pitch look at euro 2016...richarlison reminds me of ronaldo that boy can be the next ronaldo if he can improve on his skills and strength....ronaldo is the best bro

Dont say what you dont know.

He signed to Man u and had Jersey. He played in Chelsea same time with Ronaldo at least for 3 years, so he argued from angle of strength unlike you.
Re: Mikel Obi: Lionel Messi Is The Greatest Footballer In The World by chris20000: 1:58pm On Sep 13, 2018
If you are messi will you leave Barcelona and go to where exactly?.

Messi is the greatest player to play for Barcelona.
Barcelona highest goal scorer
The most successful player in Barcelona history
Let me stop here because if I continue the list is endless.
Yet this club has featured some of the greatest players in football history like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, maradona, Rivaldo, cruff, figo just to mention a few yet messi surpassed all of them and he is still very much active.

No you want him to go to some shitty club to prove himself, so what is he doing in Barcelona since .smh

Do you play football, Have you been on a pitch before? Your captain just confirmed something to you but instead you chose to argue. angry

For him mind na. Well Mikel could say this cos he failed to prioritize his football career over money. He went for money and got what he wanted.

Mikel biko when other footballers are naming their world best better keep shot cos what u know best is money and not football. If you chosed Man U. When the opportunity was there, u could have been standing next to Ronaldo n Messi in world football players ranking.

Anytime i see this Mikel on the pitch either national or playing for club side, I see failure and what love of money can do.

Remembering Naija match against Argentina that year every one knew that Mikel was deserved the golden boot if not For FIFA that yr. But after the tournament what happened? Mikel was no where to be compared even with Solomon Kaluo of Ivory Coast. Mikel! What a waste of talent!
Even African best Mikel no fit win. Who is Salah, Aubameyang were Mikel was in those days? U are here talking about world best. Just wondering if its world best in football or money sha.

Uncle,are they playing the same position? Ronaldo has bn made a striker due to hi striking force and goal scoring ability.Messi plays in the midfield behind strikers,th why yo have been seeing those assist from him and sometimes get the goal himself while CR7 plays infront of the midfielders,so if I may ask you,what do you think his job would be,to pass or score? I bet u know the answer. they are both arguably the best player I the world which. Believe to compare them you just have to do dat by their achievements and not by taking anything from anyone cause they are two different playe with different playing style.Messi d solo run, CR7 d Thunderbolt.
