Person wey no fit win copa not to talk wc during his time. He played most game for Argentina sef for copa, still not ones the tournament highest goal score , yeye player only only wins local trophies without iniesta n xavi
Did Xavi played with Aiyegbeni too??

They had Torres and Villa

Villa alone scored 5 out 9 Spain goals in the World cup!!

Stop overpraising Xavi and Iniesta.. . They never played with a player like that Argentine Aiyegbeni!!

Argetina Aiyegbeni will always be seen as a nemesis for Argetina

From Bastituta (Argetina Ronaldo Fenomeno) to Higuain (Argentine Aiyegbeni)

He was great in the Pre-VAR era tho grin

Which other team did messi won trophy with apart from Barca. A player influences his team to win trophies. Ballondior or fifa best also cant be won without team mates, even has players collects the award they thank their team a lot , cus they know a player can't play keeper, defense, middle n strike at the same time. Stop saying team trophy, cus you can't win individual award without the help of team mate, but a player influence cant make his team lost 4 finals, too bad....

What's your yardstick for someone being the GOAT and I'm not talking about Greatest team of all time...you're talking about trophies, so Pedro that's won both the WC and UCL can be called the GOAT, same with Varane who even won both trophies in a year is a GOAT too?
A goat should win win every trophies, n break records for all the tournament played, so messi is far from that, wc is the greatest tournament, followed by most competitive nations cup which is euro, the ucl, then leagues, cr7 has performed well in the different leagues winning awards, he is the best in ucl, he won euro, but no wc, so... cr7 is not a goat. Messi is even far from being cus a never won any national trophy, influence of player on winning trophi6cant be over looked , it's the most important, that's why cruyff wasn't rated too high. Social media hyped messi n cr7 a lot, back then they will just look like cruyff, but cr7 was still able to win nations , but a goat should still win wc, that's why pele , Maradona, R9, are rated so high. Cr7 had won every trophies messi had won, with different teams, it's not even easy settling in different leagues, even if na big teams, a lot of stars still flops playing in another big team. Now messi no even win copa , you call him goat, even cr7 no be goat. If you win wc ,
.. stop calling them goat , they are not, let them replicate the goals n assist in national teams competition too. Even cr7 couldn't replicate those goals in serieA , you cant just be banging goals in that league. A lot bro.... pele Maradona R9 are greater than those guys, a lot of people watch football now than then, that's why hyping much now. Cr7 is even closer, he only needs win wc, messi, copa n wc.
