ucsquare:This thread is a Barca thread. And why can't I post any nice and positive article I see about Messi on ESPN here without having to bother someone having to feel like they've got a broomstick sticking halfway out their asss? |
ucsquare:Why is the article biting you na? Abi na only Ronaldo name you see for the article? ![]() Guilty conscience. Don't want to create the impression that am bringing another Messi/ Ronaldo debate so I'll reserve my comments to you. |
Study shows Lionel Messi is statistically nearly three times better than any other footballer givemesport.com Oct 10, 2019 10:39 AM Lionel Messi’s case to be considered the greatest football player of all-time is exceptionally strong. The Argentinian has scored 672 goals in his career and has 34 honours with Barcelona to his name. Then you consider his individual accomplishments, and his resume becomes even more startling. Five Ballon d’Ors. World Cup Golden Ball. Inclusion in the FIFA FIFPro World11 in every year since 2007. Cristiano Ronaldo’s supporters will put their blinkers on but there can be no denying that Messi is, well, unbelievable. 'Ronaldo and Messi should share awards' Alonso analyses defending Messi in the False 9 Check out our new GIVEMESPORT homepage It’s hard to quantify just how much better Messi is than everyone else but ESPN may have come closest with their stats-based analysis into the best shooters in football. Using TruMedia data for all domestic campaigns dating back to the start of the 2014/15 season, their findings show the disparity between Messi and his peers. FC Barcelona v Sevilla FC - La Liga Their study includes statistics including expected goals (xG) and expected goals on target (xGOT), which Opta describes as: The Expected Goals on Target model is built on historical on-target shots and includes the original xG of the shot as well as the goalmouth location where the shot ended up. It gives more credit to shots that end up in the corners compared to shots that go straight down the middle of the goal. This model is for on-target shots, given that if you don't get your shot on target, there's a 0% chance that it will result in a goal. xG and xGOT are compared to see which players have added the most value to their attempts. Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United - Premier League We’ll start with free-kicks. Barcelona No.10’s has scored 21 free-kicks since 2014 - no one else has more than 11. His xGOT is even higher, at 21.71. Messi has added 10.35 goals worth of value to his free-kicks. An image of Messi’s set-pieces since 2014, provided by ESPN, shows his preciseness. Goals are green and misses are red. p1dmqealjd1s9lp5sm6c11rq1hi9.jpg Moving to open play, Messi has scored 16 goals and added 6.04 worth of value on open play shots from outside the box, both of which see him rank first. He’s also the best when all goals from open play are considered. Only three players are in double digits when it comes to goals worth of value. They are Messi (19.34), Mohamed Salah (11.23) and Alexis Sanchez (10.02). Messi (120) has score more goals from open play than anyone else and has produced 109.29 xGOT. No other player has broken 100. FBL-ESP-LIGA-BARCELONA-CELTA So Messi is the best at free-kicks and goalscoring. And he’s superior to anyone else at playmaking, too. The 32-year-old has completed more than 300 through-balls since 2014 - next best is 173. He leads the way in assists and is second in dribbles. Overall, Messi has 177 goals since 2014 which is 19 more than Ronaldo. He’s added 32.6 goals worth of value on 900 attempts. The gap between him and second-best Dani Parejo is a staggering 12.53. “So just how good is Messi? Nearly three times better than everyone else,” ESPN write. And Ronaldo? He’s attempted 1,005 shots since 2014, more than anyone else, but his wayward finishing subtracts him 3.07 goals. |
Unlimited22:Talk about one goalkeeper who actually had a very mixed career and that's Victor Valdez. Was very average for about 75 percent of his time and was excellent for about 25 percent. Valdez actually had a very good spell for about 2 seasons or so, when he was one of the very best in Europe. But surely that spell wasn't long enough to earn him the goalie of the decade. |

SerVik:If Valdez and Kluivert don't see eye to eye then one has got to leave for the progress of the team, whether Valdez or Kluivert. For the good of the team. |
OSUigboFlatHead:lol Hope you are not/were not a recipient of STD? |
Coutinho14:De Arthur. |
BoleAndFish:That's why it is inaccurate and inconclusive to rate attackers only based on the goals they score. Attackers should be compared and rated based on the following; 1. Goals 2. Assists 3. Scoring chances created 4. Successful take ons 5. Dribbles The only reason we still have a charade called a Messi/Ronaldo duel is because 2 to 5 above have been criminally neglected. #ThinkAboutIt |

Viper is just like ether. MI ethered Vector. |
It is becoming increasingly certain that APC will take Bayelsa. |
Ykc2:That's not the focus. The focus is not on girls who do not want to read but want to pass. Girls who resume on the first day of the semester ready to open their legs 180 degrees apart for any randy lecturer willing to part with a C or D. The focus is on girls who are prepared to study hard and work hard to pass, but cannot because one lecture somewhere finds them irresistible and is dreaming about parting their red sea. Don't derail! |
UniversalDove:The sting operation she carried out is already more than one 5 year course in the university. Nor be cram and pass again? With sorting sef. |
antobrige:You're either naive or mischievous if you think that Messi is not excellent and superb for Argentina. Either one of, or both of them. Naive/Mischievous. His personal stats and accolades in the blue shirt are so outstanding and visible for all to see, except people like you want to change the meaning of the clause "playing well for Argentina" By the way; I would actually love for Messi to prove himself in other countries by joining Everton, Levercusen or Cagliari to conquer England, Germany or Italy respectively. But if Messi "proving himself" to you means joining Bayern Munich and reconquering Germany or joining Juventus and reconquering Italy or joining Man City and reconquering England, then una foolishness don enter reserve tank. The charade that someone who played for the Man U of Sir Alex, played for Real Madrid the biggest club in world football and played for Juventus the nowadays default champions of Italy was proving himself in different counties has lasted for too long. He (Messi) is doing a more difficult job remaining in Spain and excelling under different players, different coaches and different boards. |
eni4real:lol Don't mind these wailers. Bayern and City have been looking for Messi. Who says if he wasn't loyal to Barca and decided to join Bayern and City, he wouldn't have the EPL title and the Bundesliga title today? |
Melvyn11:lol That's where you're wrong. I could count at least 20 Ronaldo fan people on this forum who actually care. Most only form "I don't care" when Ronaldo is being shat on. ![]() |
BoleAndFish:I would put Suarez in the centre and Ronaldo on the left. |

lilwetdick:hehehehehehe You have a point. But why 20 unclad women? Is he or dickless or impotent? Who can resist that? Mike must be commended for his discipline and comportment. But that doesn't necessarily make him a saint. He behaved himself on National TV. He still might or might not be a player off camera. |
Melvyn11:Not obsessed. I just love rubbing it in Cus I know there are thousands of you waiting for Messi to have a bad time and then come here. |
Melvyn11:Internet sha! Instead of them to be hiding faces in shame that the one they call the greatest goal scorer ever has been overtaken by another with 70 games less, they are still grandstanding. Not 10, Not 20, Not 30.........but 70 games!!! Internet sha!! |
usbcable: ![]() Sleepless nights? I saw that post last night and this morning I had to be woken up by my 3 year old girl. ![]() |
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN! Lionel Messi has broken the record for the top league goals in the top European leagues. Messi now has 420 goals, Ronaldo has 419 goals, Meanwhile Messi has played 70 fewer games! 70!! |
ChoCho54:You, even if you are a thief, you cannot be local government chairmen. Be a thief and be VP now! Let's see if it's easy. |
ChoCho54:He's right. PYO is still the VP And you're still the nobody. |
