what are u saying
Don't bring marital matter into football matter...
Most of these football greats did not only succeed with one football team..
At least if they don't leave their football club,they will succeed with their national team

Messi on an individual level can't be categorized a failure with his national team.
How many players get to win the world cup player of the tournament?
How many players get to win consecutive Copa America player of the tourney?
He might be a failure in the collective department of winning a trophy for his nation but definitely not a failure on an individual level.

Passing,dribbling,vision,creating chances,key passes,assists,play-making,MOTM,chance conversion rate,goal ratio?
Those are differences that actually speak about them individually.

Didn't expect a player with such experience to say such a stupid thing.

Ronaldo always compares himself to Messi, so do we all. Messi is compared with Pele and Maradona. That's the difference.


Why not compare the time they both played in the same league,directly competing against eachother?
Result:

Ronaldo - 2 La Liga and 1 PLayer os the Season
Messi - 6 La Liga and 7 Player of the Season

I think the conclusion is obvious.

even without messi in barca, they would have easily won those league back to back

Saying Messi hasn't won it with different clubs undermines the legendary status of players like Pele, Scholes, Giggs, etc.
There is something called loyalty, Messi is simply loyal to FCB. Moreover, Barca is arguably the best club in this world, telling to leave just to proof his worth would be a step down knowing fully well that Ronaldo played in the best clubs in all the leagues he joined.
Messi doesn't have anything to prove, he has played with different players over the years and his class never changed.

The one club stigma was what undermined Giggs & Scholes career. Especially that Giggs. There was a time in the 1990s that he was a contender for FIFA player of the year. He came fourth or third that year. And he couldn't even qualify his country for European Cup not to talk of World Cup. That's the black ink on his legend status. Talent wise, he's good.
And to give you finishing, wetin your Messi achieve with Argentina National Team?
Answer: 2nd, 2nd, 2nd! Messi's 2nd is 2nd to none.
Ronaldo won European Cup & 2019 Euro Nations League, he chopping highest goal scorer.
See, I get bad mouth o, Messi or one of his minions fit dey cry as dem dey read my points.

in conclusion, Ronaldo didn't disrespect Messi. He only stated the difference. He has country achievements & achievements with diff clubs.
If you say Messi is loyal to Barca, make he buy loya milk (become loyal) for Argentina as Ronaldo as done for Portugal.

Ororo no dey make mouth for nothin. u can't compare him wť escape from midgetry, a one legged and clubbed player.

On an individual level, Messi isn't a failure with Argentina. He has won individual awards with them. His only dent is the team trophy.
I know he will win something before he retires

Senior national team achievement suppers u-20 or Olympic trophy.
so until Messi wins, Ronaldo is still ahead of him. I v given u facts.

MT:


MESSI has won the world cup before. Besides, joining juve or Madrid didn't prove anything. These are well built teams that will deliver trophies with or without Ronaldo. Ronaldo should have joined a lowly ranked team and deliver a trophy, then this discussion would have been valid.

Messi has won junior ABI under 20.. not senior world cup

you can never see messi saying this,once you know you are the best what you play will speak for you not until yourself and fans fighting for you that you are the best because the best player did not win world cup for his country or did not change club.....that just an excuse!

And 3 years later...King Leo has done it!

Omo Messi don win o

SageTravels:
I respect Messi but i still prefer Ronaldo.

This is very simple. I am not looking at both players achievement. I prefer Ronaldo because of the level of his determination and hard-work. He works hard to be where he is today. There are players that are more talented them him but he works harder. He is someone that doesnt know how to fail. There are players at his age that has retired or in a small league but he keep pushing. He said there is lots of hardwork behind every trophy. I have watched the interview and i didn't see where he said he is better than Messi. He only said the difference between the two top players and he mentioned that he has won champions with two different clubs and he has scored more goals. He said there are other players at the top that he respect too.





Some of you need to watch the interview before commenting. He didn't say he is better than Messi anywhere he only spot the difference between them.

<br>
Can't you read?
He said he is better than Messi just because of his presence in many clubs
What a disappointment.
Messi is the better GOAT.
Penaldo is a proclaimed small goat

Messi is yet to win spoon for his country with all the super stars in that team.. of Nigeria had half those stara from Argentina we will win the world cup..

Edit your comment.
Messi just won Copa America

Yes oo. It's funny how some people say Messi have not won anything with his country that Ronaldo is better than him.. You bring up names they say ballon d or, you call Messi they go back to trophies. Lol forgetting the highest stage Ronaldo have played in the world cup is quarter final. If not for Heguin, Messi would have lifted 3 trophies
