It is the same league, same competition tho!!

In Madrid shirt, it is Cristiano of course... He was never a world class Playmaker tho!!
Is Ronaldo a deep playing midfielder, a CM midfielder or an attacking midfielder, or as he ever played in such areas before

And when does being a playmaker make you the greatest player??

Aside Messi, list any playmaker you know who has more assists than Ronaldo??

How come Ronaldo superior rival(Messi) won the "World best Playmaker" 3 consecutive time 2015-2017?? Only come 2nd to Modric in 2018??
Obviously, Playmaking is another skill set that can distinguish an excellent goal scorer from a genius like Messi!!

When a multi Golden ball winner is beating Midfielders to their awards shocked shocked shocked

Ronaldo can only try with some assists, he will never be a world class Playmaker nor win the "World best Playmaker" award!!!

well you seemed to know bout football and tactics and I give you that but I’m still gonna disagree with you that he is a genius bro!
If guardiola is not the best, the question is, who's better?

Mourinho? Mourinho has no football system. He only trains his player using tactical periodisation and using pragmatism for each game as they come.
If mourinho is facing a big team today, he'll train his players to park the bus, if he's playing a small team tomorrow, he'll train his players to attack. No fixed clear strategy.

Sometimes it's not about trophy. It's the art itself.

Just like anyone could praise edison, musk etc but people appreciate tesla and call him a genius because of his deep knowledge of philosophy of electrons, magnetism, electricity etc. Despite the fact he had very few success to his name.

well I don’t even care who’s the best or who is the better of the two it takes a whole lot to be as successful as a coach like mourinho mind you I’m not even a big fan of his,and have you ever considered that every coach won’t have the same style or philosophy and what you see as appealing and aesthetic might just be bland one-dimensional and boring to some people.So,this is football of pure arts you’re attributing to Guardiola isn’t so much ingenuity to some lastly coming from someone who enjoys attractive free flowing football the cryuff winger Guardiola style do you know one of the teams I have found the most impressive in Epl is that 2004/05 Jose mourinho led Chelsea team despite the fact that I feel that team hasn’t got a particular style of play or anything attractive bout their football!

You are just a clown... In the scheme of footballing things... What matters in order of decreasing importance are

National team trophies
Club trophies - UCL, league title, league cup
Ballondor
Individual league title awards
Goals

Ribery won treble in 2013, a trophyless Ronaldo won the Ballon d'or
Schneider won treble in 2010, a La liga Messi won the Ballon d'or
Griezmann won the World cup, Europa League but Golden ball winner Modric won the Ballon d'or...

Don't you know that individual performance is above team trophies for award like this...

If what you listed is true,

Bernaldo Silva, Allison, and Gabriel Jesus should be leading candidates for the Ballon d'or or FIFA best award...
. But according to FIFA, Harry Kane is a top 10 player in 2019. They even choose Ronaldo as the best Portuguese player when the real MVP (Bernaldo Silva) is dropped for marketing reason!!!

Zizou won this toddler award tongue
Pele won tgis toddler award grin
Cristiano also won the same toddler award, tho

Marca, ICC, etc that recognize Ronaldo in 2018 to give him consolation awards (when Modric was dominating FIFA, UEFA, GOAL 50, IFHSS and French football) must be some infant organizations then !!!
How come Ronaldo was personally present for those awards??
Yet IFFHS is greater than all of them tongue

U should have wondered why Ronaldo never smell IFFHS world's best playmaker, despite his high assist number.
No worries tho, winter (December) is coming.

Was Pep the first to get 100 points in a season?
16 trophies in 3 years makes you a genius??
What about someone who won the UCL 3 times in a row... What do you call that??
All those u mentioned who has a greater trophy number (save Ferguson) 2. Who has a greater trophy/year ratio than Guardiola 3. All 6 trophies in a year. (First year as senior manager) DONT BLABBER, TELL ME ANYTHING GREATER THAN THAT

Ronaldo and Zidane, don't they have a league they play in at all?

Oh! I was thinking you are calling Ronaldo a playmaker.

A playmaker is more of a team number 10 (I am not saying Jersey number 10).

For example, Bernardo/De bruyne/Silva are Playmaker

Messi is a playmaker... Griezmann is a playmaker, modric is a playmaker... In juventus, they don't really have a great tactics, but I can say pjanic maybe...

Pogba is no playmaker! I will even prefer to call this guy they sold to PSG and Mata.
