Show me the man that claim messi is the G.O.A.T and let me put a trigger on his head.


Ronaldo is the real G.O.A.T
Not that I care much about this silly comparison, but simple maths will show you that Messi has more goals than Ronaldo on average. Check their matches to goals ration and also take into account that Ronaldo is two years older than messi

What a pity. What makes u think am interested in ur childish debate as to who is a goat, sheep or rabbit? Did u see any mention of Messi in my comment or any suggestion comparing Messi & Ronaldo in my comment? Dude, if u bored, u can start ur trek to Turin right away
How is it possible for Ronaldo who is 6"3 to outjump a goal keeper who is 6"4 with his arm fully stretched?
It is not possible even for a 5 foot player.

The picture only depicts that Ronaldo jumped and got to the ball before the goal keeper and not that he out jumped the keeper.

This is what am teaching you...

Stop being foolish.

This is the math actually.

Ronaldo; 759 Goals and 222 Assists in 1037 Games.



Messi; 719 Goals and 302 Assists in only 894 Games.

that's not how it works. there are greats and there can only be one GOAT.

In current football world, after Ronaldo na injured Ronaldo, then others follow.

The only player greater than Ronaldo in football in my view is S. Gerrard.

we should learn to appreciate ronaldo and messi. those guys are beast.

all those shouting ronaldo the GOAT should remember messi is just 40 goals behind him and 2 years younger.
looking at the stats, messi game/goal ratio is better than ronaldo
They can't see this... Messi is too much of a phenomenon to be dragged with just goals scored values.

You decide who your GOAT goalscorer is.

Nuff said!
To his fans, this is insignificant.

One is the G.O.A.T while the other is a GOAT.
You can decide who is which.

lol

Even a baby knows that Ronaldo did not and cannot "outjump" the keeper.

The photo you get depends on the point at which the shot was taken.

Have sense, use your brain.
But he did. and have seen the photo at different points and it remain same. I'm not saying Ronaldo is better than Messi though I prefer Ronaldo but nevertheless no one can lie or argue that he can lift him self above ground like that. he has scored so many goals like that.

And that's the most important thing. who got to the ball first is the person that lifted higher more

Don't compare Messi to CR7 bcz their journey has been totally different. Everybody knows Messi in single team with no challenge, but CR7 is known in many clubs, with different culture, different players and different challenges. So, CR7 is incomparable to anyone, is a unique person in this world of football.

Like for CR7 abeg
I detest the rubbish you just said. In a single team with no challenge you say? He has played with different players with different coaches having different coaching mentality, played against the very best teams the work and yet we haven't seen a significant decline in his performance. He has the best goal per game ratio against a goal machine.

If that's not challenging enough, I don't know what else is.

Abeg go and sleep jor. Ronaldo will score one penalty today. You guys will turn it to he is the greatest of all time. Infact eh, i am so ashamed. Its people like you that make me not like ronaldo. When Messi scored a brace on Saturday, a stunning trademark goal and a free kick, there was no hyping.. The reason why I love Messi more. We have all accepted ronaldo is the greatest. Let us breathe abeg. Haba. Week in week out ronaldo is the greatest because of penalties or empty net scored. Mtcheeeeew
Yet, most of Messis goals this season were penalties, he managed to score normal goals recently, what a shame!

We don't want you to like him, INFACT HATING HIM BRINGS OUT THE BEAST IN HIM.

You 8-2 admit but it's fine

It is good the title is not even discussing GOAT, which Ronaldo can never be.

It is discussing greatest goalscorer; the only title he can ever sensibly compete for.

I doubt he is but I will only judge when I see stats that excludes his penalties.
Goal scoring doesn't make one a GOAT? Wow!

Lewandowski became goat because he dribbled right?
What of PELE?

You guys are hypocrites men! Yet Messi is taking penalties from Fati and taking it himself, the poor lad should have had an hattrick!

Greatest at taking penalties?
If penalties were easy, Messi would have an international trophy by now.

And wait, Ansu Fati was about to score a third goal via a penalty, Messi bullied him and took it.

He hates penalties right?
