See guy, You can never understand Messi's predicament because you chose a penalty box merchant as your MCM

Since Messi was young and now that he is getting old, he has been man marked and crowded all over the pitch.

Need I remind you that grizemann was the first barca player beside Messi to score a UCL KO goal away from home since 2015. Football is a team sport, even your MCM rely on his teammates to win, in Madrid's last UCL triumph, the last time Ronaldo scored was a penalty in the Quarter finals, his teammates did the job in the semis and the final.

Yet he always dictate the play as a playmaker, exchanging passes with the defensive midfielders. To be a Messi is not a day job, Messi has carried the burden of a club as big as Barcelona since he was young like a young child that lost his parents and was made to fend for himself. Yet Messi is still competing with your MCM goals wise

Please bring forth any moment of Ronaldo being crowded like this, even if it is photoshop, I bet you won't find one because your MCM spend more time in the penalty box more than the penalty spot itself

Melvyn11:

Which one? Passes completed and passes into the box.

TLona1:

I don hang boot before but I had to come out of retirement for this.

Ronaldo has been crowded more times than you can count. Attached images.

The best players have multiple opponents on them to cut out space. Everyone gets the same treatment from Iniesta to KDB to Dybala.

There is nothing special about a #10 who's sphere of influence is at the center of pitch having multiple players around him. Where the f*ck do you want the players to be? Whenever Ronaldo is in a position to receive the ball at the middle of the pitch, plenty of players are also around him. When he drifts wide as a primary winger, two men are on him, even though there's just the byline and space is tight.

Watch his games.

No normal player will give Messi, CR7, Neymar, or any elite player space in the modern game if they can help it.

So throw those images in the bin. And stop disgracing people who have more than average knowledge of football.

No, Messi shouldn't be surrounded in the middle third of the pitch. The opposition players should band together at the corner flag. Sometimes the way you guys reason, e b like say na fufu full una head.

As for Ronaldo in the penalty box. Take today's match for instance. He put in at least two superb crosses into the box (chances created), no one could connect to them. But if he's the one at the receiving end in the box, it suddenly becomes a problem.

Why should a 6 foot 2 super-athlete who's the best header in the game not occupy the box? Precisely who should take his place?

Even Dybala and Higuain had tap in opportunities, they couldn't get it on target. Ronaldo gets same opportunities and scores, that becomes a problem.

Both Messi and Ronaldo have honed their games over a decade and play to their strengths. That's why Messi is stat-padding his assist tally by taking corner kicks, while Ronaldo stays in the box to head in corner-kicks because of his height. That's how you guys were complaining about Marcelo-Ronaldo cross-and-nod connection. But not once have I ever heard a complaint about the Messi-Alba lob-pass-cut-back connection.

In no way, shape, or form is Messi better than Ronaldo because Messi has mastered the art of playing through the middle thanks to his long stay at Barcelona. Ronaldo has been there and done that under Ferguson. Instead, CR7 mastered the art of stealth goalscoring. Where you can surround him with players all game long, but just one perfectly measured cross and like a cheat he can tower above and put the ball at the back of the net. EOD!
