Kilishihunter:

Didn't bayern win the UCL abi it's another one you watched Ajax bottled a first leg lead against totenham in the semi finals The same Ajax who beat juve Lyon were beaten 3-0 in the semi-finals The same Lyon side who knocked juve out in the round of 16 Wait first so juve have been knocked out in back to back Round of 16 phases So much for a player brought to bring the Champions league to Turin

Turin needs champions league more than him.. If Cristiano can't win it with them then they can't win it in a very long time to come. CR7 has achieved all and has nothing to prove at age 36.

FuckThaMod:

If he didn't do it in first leg he did it mostly in second leg.. Or you expect him to do it in both legs while Messi only does it in first leg right?

Why didn't Messi keep the lead after having first leg advantage? Not once, not twice, not thrice.. Embarrassing

So where is the second leg he did it na? That is the question because u act as if Messi in his career also has not held leads before or done great exploit in ucl from what u CR7 fans say. Na the question falls on you because when we explain u na say no Messi failed. So I want to understand why the same standard is not being applied by u in Lyon ajax and Porto even to the fact that barca lost to stronger teams

Error 1. He's not "my ororo". I am not involved in your Messi Ronaldo roforofo fight.

Error 2. Putting the whole responsibility of a team's success on one man isn't fair.

Error 3. Even the best players have their off days.. including Messi who I suspect you are fighting for.. Ronaldo is no different. Seems you were just waiting for any opportunity to lampoon him. I pray thee, remember his glorious performances too.. not just the average ones

Uyi168:
.


If they had won and your Ororo had scored let's say a brace or an hat trick, you and your goons would have been everywhere shouting world best and the rests...

Kilishihunter:

So why didn't he lead them past the quarter-finals since the major reason for his purchase was to bring the Champions league? Instead he was carried by Chiesa and was even a little involved in Porto's equalizer
This is from the BBC comments section Nonsense

because it's chiesa that has been scoring their knockout goals since the past 3 years. Two comments from your fellow Messi fans who hates CR7 doesn't prove a point, ogbeni carry your watery brain out of my mentions jarey.. You are not worthy to be argued with.

Google the second leg he did it in... I guess one of the teams which is atl madrid is a weak team then. Imagine loosing to such team by 3 goals margin and overturning it on your own. 10 Messi's will never achieve that..
Both CR7 and Messi are not perfect but never compare them in Champions League

Is your Google 1 sided go and check psg vs Messi when Beckham was there.. Messi even came from injury and did, against arsenal and so many ucl great nights what exactly is our point? Again u have come with overturning on his own.. You have come again if we put it to you now, you will start blaming defenders and midfielders

Learn to read and understand How will someone who just came this season score knockout goals of the past 3 years but we all saw what Chiesa and to an extent morata offered attacking wise yesterday but your starboy was just moaning and barking at the young boys yesterday but upon e everything he produced a disasterclass and was pocketed by his countryman Pepe

HellVictorinho:

Lies.
How many of the chances he created were converted?
Must he create 500 chances
5 chances are enough in a match by him.
He didn't misplace many passes.
In fact,they don't usually give him the ball or they don't give him often.
They didn't create enough chances for him as a great finisher.

Did u defend Messi when higuain missed the chance with the true ball he gave him or the penalty? Did u defend him when he created chances upon chance at NOU camp against Roma, Liverpool for his teammates who didn't finish up the game. Did you utter this nonsense then? Oga he failed he is a failure simple. Use the same standard

FuckThaMod:

Turin needs champions league more than him.. If Cristiano can't win it with them then they can't win it in a very long time to come. CR7 has achieved all and has nothing to prove at age 36.

At this point I have to admit you don't even know what you are saying If he has achieved all and has nothing to prove why did he know accept the challenge of bringing the Champions league to Turin abi was is it for the scudetto that they got Juve signed him at age 33 since then disasterclass And is it not 38 yr old Pepe that stood out for Porto Nonsense

Look at who is talking about reading and understanding.. Chiesa was excellent, CR7 assisted his first goal while morata was the Worst man on the pitch. CR7 has always scored or assisted in ucl knockout games since 2010.. Go check facts. Messi didn't even give common assist in 8-2 humiliation.
Keep wanking to screenshots of CR7 haters comment.. If you want more i can give you, They are plenty here on Nairaland and on Twitter too

And what has the outstanding pepe won with Porto?
Point out when CR7 said winning ucl with juventus was his challenge, bring the source here. That's how you Messi fans imagine nonsense in your head. Moving to Seria A was the challenge.. Fvck ucl, if Juve can't win it then it's not CR7 fault and will never be. He has 5 with different clubs already, legendary.

Kittex7:

Same here. It happened with Chelsea Napoli like this 2012 and they didn't use away goal after extra time

That's why I'm confused.

Kingdanfodio:
. 2-1 + 2-1 = 3-3 then extratime score is 1-1 =1-2.. That's why goal is very important... Note: away goal will be counted both fulltime and extratime

That doesn't seem fair. After all, the first home team had no extra time away goal advantage.

unmask:
Madrid removed the coach that did it for them. That had a huge effect on the team's performance after that. If Zidane had stayed on, there would have been continuity.

No there would be no continuity. The squad that did it 3 in a row had become old and out, and needed replacement and all replacements so far have no been as good as the performance of who they came to replace. The poor form of Hazard who was a replacement for Ronaldo has created a vacuum in the team, plus no replacement for Bale. We all knew that it took over 8 years of heavy buying to assemble the squad that did the Madrid UCL back to back and now they have to build again, not only Madrid but all UCL representative clubs from Spain.

No they brought him to continue winning serie A titles and the coppa Italia trophies they've been winning for ages Nonsense Juve just threw their money away Pepe won the cup double with Porto last season and is in the quarter-finals of the UCL this year See this guy

FuckThaMod:

You may have eyes but that doesn't mean you have brain..
One doesn't judge GOAT status with how one is playing at age 36. CR7 has nothing to prove anymore.

Thierry Henry – “What Leo does is so incredible that I have to be careful not to stand still watching him make his moves.”

Thiago Alcantara – “We give him the ball and stand back and watch. People often say to me they saw Pele and Maradona play. In the future, I will be able to say I saw Messi play.”

Juliano Belletti – “When Messi came out of B Team Rijkaard put him in a 11 × 11 training game on a small stadium. Iniesta came to me and said “do you know him”? I told him no, so he told me to be careful .. In the first confrontation against him, he passed me and scored a goal, I said damn! This man is shameless”.

Pep Guardiola – “Put in the superlatives yourselves because I’m running out. It’s already been a while now that he has been outstanding. He’s more than decisive in every way. That he’s capable of doing everything that he does at his age is something impressive, that doesn’t make any sense.“

Zlatan Ibrahimovic – “Messi does not need his right foot. He only uses the left and he’s still the best in the world. Imagine if he also used his right foot, Then we would have serious problems.”

Carles Rexach (former Barcelona sporting director) – In two minutes, I saw his speed, his skill and decided we would sign him.

Xavi – “If he continues like this then I think Messi will be the best player in the history of football.“

Juan Sebastián Verón – “I see Maradona every time he grabs the ball and accelerates. We must protect him. I’d personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table.“

Paolo Maldini – “I think he reached and surpassed the level of Maradona. He does incredible things, at a speed that is insane.”

blazepascal:
:the refree was biased Porto committed handball in their own box but the ref ignored it Ronaldo was also brought down by Porto keeper but the referee ignored it again the ref officiated poorly seem he was bribed because he favoured Porto a lot except for the red card he gave them

juve as a team played sluggishly they delayed a lot of vital passes and crossing Ronaldo tried his best but the way juve played is nothing to write home about

this are the reason why juve didn't qualify

pirlo gambled the first leg of the match by benching his vital players

the referee was biased he favoured Porto a lot in the 2nd leg

juventus sluggish style of play also affected them they were slow with the ball imagine playing with 10men from Porto and yet you couldn't use the opportunity to score more goals

Cry me a river, the ref nobi Nigeria and the match wasn't played in Nigeria where bribe go a long way. Take it easy and try again

I watched the match and felt bad for them

Rubbish!!!!
Did I blame Messi for the goals conceded?
You have failed to make sense.
Ronaldo is just as good as Messi.
There's no greatest footballer now.

I shouldn't agree with all these people.

ShackWes:

All the game greatest acknowledge Messi as the GOAT, only delusioned fan boys who are inconsequential believes a tap in Lord is their GOAT


If Ronaldo nah GOAT then football is useless


Ronaldinho is greater than penaldo

Ibrahinmovic is even better than him, you went too far calling Ronaldinho. Hahahaha

ThierryJay:


I get that you are in great pain and it's making you not to see things accurately. Ndo.

For your information, Ronaldo only created one chance/key pass during the entire game and that chance was converted by Chiesa. Check Whoscored.com. So where did you see your own 5 chances? Are you sure you watched the match?

How did they not give him the ball? Cuadrado alone sent in a whopping 33 crosses with 12 Key passes during the match. Who was he sending all these crosses/passes to oga?

Let us even assume they are not creating chances for him like you said. Shebi as GOAT as some of you are touting him to be, he should have found a way to create chances for himself, not to be blaming teammates that managed to score 3 goals largely without him. Is he that helpless?

No sugar coating it, Ronaldo's performance was terrible!

It wasn't terrible.
A 36 year old player can't run for 120+mins.
The teammates didn't score 3goals largely without him.
Your theory of me being pained doesn't make sense.
You can't prove that I'm pained by your statements.

No they brought him to continue winning serie A titles and the coppa Italia trophies they've been winning for ages Nonsense Juve just threw their money away Pepe won the cup double with Porto last season and is in the quarter-finals of the UCL this year See this guy

Never argued with someone as dumb as you in my life..
Titles or no titles, Juventus is profiting from Ronaldo's presence. It's business... Titles is meant to be an added advantage with CR7.
Think before qouting me again or don't quote me at all

90% of these quotes didn't acknowledged Messi as GOAT, they were only praising him. Who is idiotic now? Stupid child

It seems your stupidity is hereditary son! You just proved to be a dîșğrace to the entire human race! What do you mean they weren't acknowledging Messi as the best? It clearly seems your břąîň has lost the ability to comprehend what you see and read, that's if you can read to begin with.

GOAT mean - Greatest of all time for your info.
We saw almost all of em either directly or indirectly saying he is the greatest of all time.
For instance Arsene Wenger. He clearly said Messi is the greatest in the world (World).
Buffon clearly stated that once he touched Messi, he was trying to figure if at all he was human like him and everyone else.
How does your břąîň not think he's tagging him the greatest with those statements?
You clearly need a psych evaluation my friend. But before I call the psychiatric personnels on you, permit me to drop some for quotes for your deluded and fanboying ășș!


John Terry -
“Lionel Messi is quite clearly the BEST PLAYER EVER . It’s a pleasure to pit myself against him, and when I finish my career, it’s something I can look back on and know I’ve tested myself against the very best.”

Fabio Capello
“In my entire life, I have never seen a player of such quality and personality at such a young age, particularly wearing the ‘heavy’ shirt of one of the world’s great clubs… Before a game, you can plan for everything. But Messi can produce a move that no-one expects and change the game in an instant.”

Mario Gomez
“I am not crazy enough to compare myself with Messi because he is the BEST THERE EVER was and the best there will ever be.”

Adriano Galliani (AC Milano Chief)
“MESSI is the BEST PLAYER EVER. And this is said by someone who has seen Maradona and Pele play.”

Pep Guardiola
“He is the BEST PLAYER I HAVE EVER SEEN. The best thing about him is not what he does but how simple he makes everything look. He is not just the best player because he can dribble past three or four players, it is because he does it BETTER THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD.”

Diego Simeone
“MESSI is undoubtedly the BEST PLAYER in the WORLD. He’s the determining factor. He’s key, he controls the pace, he directs above all the team’s attack.”

Jürgen Klopp
“I have coached a few really good players. My dad liked Pele, but MESSI IS THE BEST EVER.”

José Mourinho
Jose Mourinho on Messi
“Messi is the GOD OF FOOTBALL. When Messi has the ball, one on one, you’re dead.”​

Samuel Eto’o
“Messi is god, as a person, and even more as a player. I knew him when he was a boy, and I’ve watched him grow. He deserves it all.”


Johan Cruyff
“For the world of football, Messi is a treasure because he is a role model for children around the world… Messi will be the player to win the most Ballons d’Or in history. He will win five, six, seven. He is incomparable. HE'S IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE.”

Neymar
“I played with Messi, who is, for me, the GREATEST FOOTBALLERS OF ALL TIME , and he is my idol in football.”

Arsene Wenger
“Who is the Best Player in the World? Leo Messi. Who is the Best Player Ever? Leo Messi.”

Javier Mascherano
“Although he may not be human, it’s good that Messi still thinks he is.”

Romario
“Newton and Einstein had a certain level of autism – I hope that, like them, Messi surpasses himself every day and continues to give us his beautiful brand of football.”

Diego Maradona
“I have seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentine football and his name is Messi. Messi is a genius.”

Pele
“I like Messi a lot, he’s a great player. Technically, we’re practically at the same level

Stop barking like a rapid dog, you don't have to sound aggressive to prove a point. And i repeat, these quotes are praises not acknowledgement of GOAT status.

Juve didn't ask for your inconsequential opinion on whether it should be a retirement home for CR7 or not.
Messi is yet to win ucl in 7 years now... CR7 has 5 already while he has just 3 and about to be kicked out today.
Worry about that kid

Ademola47:

But something seems mixed up.
Since they played 2-1 after 90 mins making 3-3 on Aggregate, I expect them not to use away goal in the added time.

How do some Nigerians think self. Did you just start watching champions league football ?
