"Before ronaldo went to real Madrid, Madrid already has over 10 champions league cup, before lionel messi Barca has 1" Two fallacies in a statement.Real has 9 European titles and the tenth one was looking like a jinx cos it took another 12 years from when they last won it in 2002.Barcelona won their second European tittle in 2006 with negligible input from messi.They coach Rijkaard didnt even deem it fit to play him in the final again against arsenal and left him on the bench all through.Ronaldo won 4 champions league trophies with active participation for Real while Messi won 3 of active involvement with Barca.

Igbosmoker:
See let me tell you people a thing about messi and why people are terrified of him In football field .
Messi is a magician, when I say magician I meant messi will dribble over 5 people and score and nobody will praise him because he's like a normal thing for him to do.

They said he's not a goal scorer like ronaldo but has more goal ratio than ronaldo even while playing less games, it's believe messi will surpass ronaldo in goals this season and by the way he has more assist too even though he play less games.

Messi has more individual achievements in international stage than anybody ever yet they said he did nothing for his country. Ronaldo has no international individual achievements but messi was named Olympic best player, 2x copa America best player, 2014 world cup best player, etc etc.

Messi will always be ahead of anybody in personal achievements that's why we love him, that's why he's call messigician.

To further add to it, messi has never play in England but he has the most goals against English biggest teams even more than ronaldo that has play in England for years.

Before ronaldo went to real Madrid, Madrid already has over 10 champions league cup, before lionel messi Barca has 1.

So tell me who's more influential.

In 2019..
One footballer won 2 domestic & 1 national titles, & became 1st to 100 wins & 125 goals in Champions League, 1st current player to 700 official goals & 1st to win Premier League, Série A & La Liga.
Clue: it wasn't Lionel Messi who just won FIFA Best Player.

Argue with Piers Morgan

10 minutes silence for this Useless fact

correctguy2010:
Is your brain for decoration or you didn't read the post. Messi is already playing for the best club, do you leave your mansion for a one-room apartment? If you don't have what to say just blew whistle abeg

I guess your own brain doesn't even exist, how are they the best club? They were once on top of their game and every other teams have their peak, now its liverpool, mancity and maybe juve.and that doesn't mean they will remain there forever cuz form is seasonal.

So messi should move from barca to bayarn let see how he fares

gaetano:
It can't change the fact that Messi is actually being favored. The year xavi an Iniesta won the word up, the award went to Messi despite them having a better chance after winning for both club and country.

Now the same logic did not apply to Ronaldo after singlehandedly winning the ucl for RM, Instead, they gave it to modric for playing in the final.

There's a conspiracy behind Ronaldo and Florentino Perez is behind it.

cr7single handedly gifted Madrid champion's league in 2018?
I guess luka modric wasn't an IMPORTANT PART of the Madrid team.
even marcelo is more vital than Ronaldo.
team captains and coaches have voted.
Ronaldo is an immature pompous fellow.before the award was given,Ronaldo have been shouting and telling the world why he should be given the award.

1. CRITICS said Messi was nothing without Ronaldinho, Deco and Etoo.

FACT: All three players left and Messi peaked even at their absence winning uncountable team and individual honors

2. CRITICS changed narrative to say Messi is benefitting from the geniuses of Xavi and Iniesta at Barca..

FACT: Xavi left Barca, Iniesta also left yet Messi keep blazing, winning trophies awards.

3. They said Messi is a one club hero, asking him to emulate Ronaldo by changing clubs to prove that he is indeed a great player...

FACT: Ronaldo left Manchester United(Man U) to join Real Madrid(RM) because RM is a far bigger club to Man U. Ronaldo left RM to Juventus because he was unhappy with RM hierarchy and the way he was treated in 2018 by the club's President.

On the other hand Messi is a Barcelona product and Barcelona is a far greater club to any other team in the world (argue with Barcanista). In addition, Messi is in great shape at Barca and Barca love him.

Beside, Nikolas Anelka is one of the most "travelled" player in Europe but no one is calling him G.O.A.T for his football tourism.

4: CRITICS said Messi should go to another league to win trophy to prove his status

FACT: Messi doesn't need to go to any league to prove himself, he has played all top teams from each top leagues in Europe and demolished them... Neymar has won league trophies with Barcelona (Spain), PSG (France) and Santos (Brazil - where he also won South America champions league), yet no one is saying he is GOAT.

5. CRITICS said Messi should win trophy for his country to be considered G.O.A.T

FACT: Messi led his country to youth world cup triumph, he led his country's men team to Olympic Gold in 2008. He further led his country to Copa America final twice in 2015 and 2016 where they lost via penalty shootout (game of luck). The biggest of all, he led his country to World Cup final in 2014 (where they narrowly lost at extra time) and was crowned MVP for all the aforementioned tournaments.

MORE FACTS:
1. Messi has more goals than all his teammates and former teammates in Barcelona and Argentina

2. Messi has more assist than all his teammates and former teammates in Barcelona and Argentina

3. Argentina is a semi average team without Messi but a team "to beat" with Messi in it.

4. Take Messi out of Barcelona and Barcelona will struggle to win games.

AS FOR FIFA AWARD 2019
Critics claim Messi is undeserving of FIFA Award 2019 but who deserves it more than the man that achieved the following in 2019...

1. Top Scorer in Europe 2018/19 (European Golden Boot)

2. Top scorer in UEFA Champions League 2018/2019

3. Joint Most Goal Assist in Europe 2018/2019

4. Most Man of the Match won in 2018/2019 UEFA Champions league

5. Most player of the Week won in 2018/2019 UEFA Champions league

6. Best Forward in Europe 2018/19

I don't even want to mention domestic individual honors he got but critics can't give us any individual player with a stat to match Messi in 2018/19.

The summary of this epistle is that Lionel Messi is the GREATEST SPORTSMAN OF ALL TIME... This is a fact that even his critics know but ashamed to publicly admit.

seems you typed all these because of the award

Heffalump:
OP, the records enumerated above are great, but just know that CR7 has broken more fanatic records by all standards.

Ronaldo lost out because he isn't as popular and acceptable among fellow professional footballers and fans, perhaps because of his perceived pride instinct and lousy subjective mien.
Again, this is life, you can't write off the incidences of envy too.

No man.. certainly not because of his pride. You and many lots simply dont know a good footballer and what it takes to do what messi does. Anybody who has played the round leather game will quickly know messi is talented and far better than Ronaldo and this is why many professional players choose messi.

Ronaldo is only a goal scorer... he scores important and decisive goals and that's why he's always trending... lets be honest. Messi has more goals and better goal ratio to him. Bro, face the fact and answer my question. Aside goals what does Ronaldo do? You dare ask about messi ? Messi scores, dribbles, assist, playmakes, superb pass and what have you?

Go to YouTube and watch the highlights of both. Ronaldo seriously has no highlight... just goals. Go and watch messi, ronaldinho, delima... u will enjoy game

Messi is better than Ronaldo. It was a media hype all along. Ronaldo is good but certainly not better than messi. Forget awards sef guy... watch their game na. U nor get eye?

Until Ronaldo's fans can list his individual achievement ( not trophies won ) last season like Messi's fans did, I'll have no choice but to believe that Messi deserves this award.

Oga what are you saying?
Messi has not won the Champions League since Xavi and Iniesta left.

The Copa Del rey goals that inflated it up to 51 right.The goal tally he had to top is 5 less what Ronaldo had in 2017 and 3 less in 2018.So what is the fuss all about.If Ronaldo had stayed on in La Liga,the 50 goals plus which he did for 5 consecutive season is a small matter for him.

CrestMan:
There's no conspiracy anywhere especially with his recent record award.
Messi should not be made to suffer from his own very higher standards.

Suddenly, 51 goals and 22 assist in 50 matches seems too small?
Highest goal scorer in Laliga, UCL and the entire Europe with incredible goals, is now too small?

Imagine if Rashford is the one with these amazing records in one season, the British press will be pushing for him to be given 3 years Ballon d'or at the same time

Messi truly deserves this and more

correctguy2010:
Over 70% of professional footballers will always tell you Messi is better, so why should I even waste my time on fans who don't even understand football.

You have said it all. All these ranting and lopsided arguments makes no sense. Every fan is aligned blindly to either of them. So the best judgment or opinion should be from these professionals that train and play with them, even the coaches. Most of the coaches and players always end up choosing messi.

TonyeBarcanista:
Greatest of All Time

Senseless post.

Playing against top teams in different leagues is different from going to play in a different league. The barriers are much. Language, social, different team players and team staff. Cristiano bashed these barriers when he left Manchester united to Real Madrid and to Juventus.

Messi is a great footballer but he has no balls. He's a coward. He can't perform outside that barcelona. Main reason he has not been successful even in the star studded Argentine team.

"'Ronaldo had no highlight" His champions league goals against arsenal and porto (2009) and Juventus in 2018 are not highlight reels right?

Miscellaneous:
No man.. certainly not because of his pride. You and many lots simply dont know a good footballer and what it takes to do what messi does. Anybody who has played the round leather game will quickly know messi is talented and far better than Ronaldo and this is why many professional players choose messi.

messi is an alien.....
messi... makes football interesting to watch
messi
messi
messi...the greatest of all time.

I also agree that Leo Messi is the greatest footballer of all time. However, I do not think he is the greatest sportsman of all time. Some would say Roger Federer. There is another Michael Phelps. There's a certain Muhammed Ali too. Floyd Mayweather, Lewis Hamilton, Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt. All these people could be mentioned too. I don't think anyone would win the Greatest sportsman argument.

Same conspiracy that happened to Ribery in 2016 when Ronaldo won the world best ahead of him with no reasonable trophy. You forgot to mention that the portal was closed for voting for the world best after Ronaldo scored hattrick against Sweden in the qualifies the Portal was open for about a week that's when Ronaldo won it. People like you won't see that one keep on hating.

gaetano:
In 2006 when cannovaro won the the Ballon d'or, Henry scored lots of goals too. But canno won the world cup. So what's your point?

thats because messi 91 goals was a world record...mind u henry didnt make the top three that year..carnivaro Zidain..headbut issue and ronaldinho

Don't mind the critics @op. The problem with them is that messi has set the bar very high for his achievements per season, so his records in 2018/19 are nothing compared to previous years, so critics can easily overlook those achievements because who else can do those things if not the Messi. If it was an average player that bagged those records, critics would have been clamouring for him to win the balon dor.

To them, Messi must win champions league, La liga, and even the world cup and score at least 70 goals per season for him to be considered deserving of the FIFA men best player of the year or the balon dor. That is how great the guy has become through his past achievements.

Nice write up, but u got it all wrong wen u said Argentina is a team to beat with Messi . no be only. Argentina the really struggle bad with Messi. See Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru and Iceland matches against them for more details. The really I mean really! Really!! Struggle in the last World cup n Copa America. Argentina didn't struggle to qualify for COMMBOL without Messi, but struggled throughout the tournament with him. To me he is a liability to that team @ the moment. That 4 months banned he has is what it, so that Argentina can put there act together. No doubt Messi is a fantastic player, a monster footballer probably one of the greatest footballer of all time, but his national team struggle leaves me with with no doubt that about his short coming, to me he is not the perfect leader, even Barcelona fall in Europe against Roma & Liverpool can attest to that. Argentine national team are really struggling with his presence, maybe because of his reputation or talent.

And they qualified for the World Cup without him?

Messi was injured was why he didn't play.
