Why cant he score those 2 goals against psg. Your coward goat

At least he did better against PSG, a much tougher opponent, than your bungling CR7 did against Porto as the worst player on the field, ramming into fellow teammates like blind Bartimeus and lago-ing all around.

Beverlyjean:
Y sud they raise a dust...what record did he create...ronaldo created a new record and thats y he is being celebrated...same thing he did in la liga...scoring every single teaming la liga... he is doing it at 36 in serie a... u guys will tire one day cos he will keep on making u messi fans look foolish ... some messi fans hv even started to give up and admit that Ronaldo is the greatest... the only thing ur little man has shown in his last 2 disgraceful games at home is just 2 penalties

FYI, Messi set the same record against Cadiz on Sunday (scoring against all current La liga teams), but its not a big deal.

It's very funny to see that you CR7 fans are now the ones downplaying penalties. Aren't penalties goals like every other goal no longer? Are all the defence you guys put up over the years in support of penalties hogwash now, just because Messi is the one scoring them?? Lol such blatant hypocritical lot, you all. Anyway, unlike you, we still have consistently not glorified or defended Messi's form on account of his penalties.

Anyway, Messi has nothing to prove to anybody anymore, he will always be considered as the greater player than CR7, even if he retires at this moment. And there's nothing you can do about that. I'm even aware that most Real Madrid fans consider Messi a better player than your darling. Its inevitable.

Lol, I said it, these CR7 fans are classless.

Messi scores two long range bullets against Alaves last week, no dust was raised at all. Not even a topic on Nairaland cos it's nothing special for the GOAT.

CR scored 2 regular headers against the bottom club in the Serie A, it becomes an headline.

The difference in who is held to a higher standard is clear.

obonujoker:
How.... How.

Isn't this why Mou won best coach?

What's the relationship between your statement and Messi's win?

Beverlyjean:
Some people said he will outscore Ronaldo when the season was bout to start cos he scored 4 goals against one junior side during a friendly... today he has one league goal while Ronaldo has x18

I agree with you for once. Osihmen is not just it abeg. Even Napoli's midfielders outscore him.

The International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) has named Lionel Messi as the best men's player of the last decade.

The organisation polled its members from other 150 countries around the world to find the best men's player over the last decade, including the best player for each continent.

While Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the award for the UEFA region, it was Messi who triumphed globally - as well as amongst the CONMEBOL nations.

The 33-year-old hasn't had a bad last ten years, picking up six La Liga titles, five Copa del Rey trophies, two Champions Leagues, and four Ballon d'Ors.

Even this season, with Barcelona struggling under new manager Ronald Koeman, the Argentine has picked up 16 goals and three assists in 21 La Liga games, and four goals and two assists in five Champions League fixtures.

IFFHS best players of the decade:
The IFFHS also revealed a top ten for the award,

1. Lionel Messi
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
3. Andres Iniesta
4. Neymar
5. Sergio Ramos
6. Manuel Neuer
7. Robert Lewandowski
8. GianLugi Buffon
9. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
10. Luka Modric

How are you so sure Nadal may win the French open this year?

He's won it for 13 f*cking years! Why should this year be different? Definitely not betting against him

I really enjoyed Laycon's Nobody remix performance. How come the event isn't on front page yet?

If Lenglet is a defender, then I am the President of the United States. How guy has been scamming Koeman should be studied in the University.

Even when under little defensive pressure from a lowly opponent, the guy still finds a way to commit an error. What then should we expect with the barrage of PSG attacks expected in 2 weeks plus time?

I'm sure stupid Koeman will still use him in the next match.

Nadal will carry 21 this year with French Open.

Djokovic will likely get 19th GS this year, and may equalize by next year.

Without the money the elite use in sponsoring the street ...no one will know people like olamide and laycon....even the thug music in America was still sponsored by the white elite to help improve their lives...if the elite should blank the streets, the street will end up eating themselves, they don't even know how to mk good money....name one street that created a big tech company...even the crypto the street use was still created by the elite , so as the big brother that has made laycon who he is was created by the elite....the street is nothing without the elite

Madam Beverlyjean, you've been exerting mental energy and effort on top nothing. The person you initially quoted wasn't referring to elites as in the rich and wealthy in 9ja. Rather, he meant Erica's fans who are popularly known as "Elites"

You come dey form Wole Soyinka on top misinterpretation

Haa sweet memories. Ultimate MK3 on Sega and SNES was my favorite.

My favorite player for the guys was Kunglao, simply because of his impressive combo sequence which had the highest drain of blood from opponents (43%), meaning if you just collect 2 combos pere, u already in the red zone close to the afterlife.

Other two guys favorite is Kabal and Scorpion. Kabal because of his outfit (Lagbaja) and his variety of beautiful combos and moves, Scorpion is cos of his gerrover here! arrow move and his leg combo(which looks like someone continuously slapping your face with his leg and there's nada u can do about it - very humiliating).

Among the ladies, Jade is my fav cos she's just so elegant especially when she starts with that spinning staff combo and finishes u off with the leg combo (39% don comot be dat making her also one of the highest blood drainers with her combo).

Noob SaiBaba still remains the greatest cheat of all time in UMK3. If you see a very good user of him, most times na to just submit pad and let him do his thing cos there's no point

I give up on you. That Barcelona squad that is full of world champions and Great international. Name juve and Barcelona player side by side and tell me who has a better player for club and county...
Ferenvaros yet messi can't score open play goal against them....hide your face in shame.

Oga, give up on yourself first. All that one you are saying is past glory. Bring Ronaldo de lima now to Man utd and ask him to play again, would you now say he is currently better than Scott McTominay simply because he's one of the GOAT contenders? Bros think na.

Currently, all of Juve's back four will displace Barca's back four with ease. In midfield, Rabiot and Federico Chiesa will displace Busquets and Pedri. It's only Frenkie De Jong that is better than his Juve counterpart in Ramsey/Bentacur or whatever. With a stronger defensive spine than Barca, Juve's team give their attack something to leverage on even if they are not firing. Barca's weak midfield and defence already puts Messi and co on the backfoot right from the start against any decent opposition.

Regarding Ferencscravos or whatever, I cannot be arguing with you over a team we both just discovered their existence this champions league season. Frankly, that is beneath Messi's pay grade. Maybe not for Ronaldo and his fans wey no get levels sha .

ojaysam25:
Una nor get Shame what as messi DON this season in UCL aside from scoring penalties. Do you honestly think juve has beater player than Barcelona.

Na u no get shame. Half of your idol's goals this season have been penalties as well, the other ones were scored against a lowly Ferencravos. Answer the question and stop beating about the bush. Why was your Ororo colliding with fellow players like a bungling Mr Bean? No goal, no assist, no key passes, no shot on target, no galvanizing, no playmaking nothing absolutely! Was the worst player on the pitch. Don't hide from that and begin to attack Messi. As average as Messi was against PSG he still did miles better against a much tougher opponent than your Ororo.

You are obviously ignorant if you didnt know that Juve's players, especially midfield and defence are better than Barca's players in similar positions.

ThierryJay:
Well, the economic indices at the moment actually lend support to what the finance minister said.

The main driver is that somehow and despite all the much publicized negatives, there are still a lot of ongoing economic activities that are stimulating spending (especially in the fmcg and IT/telecomms/fintech sectors). The implementation of the finance act 2020 should further strengthen this course by stimulating more spending within the economy e.g lower duties on cars, lower minimum tax rate, exemption of small companies from income tax and VAT.

Also, more Nigerian diasporans are remitting monies to their people here in lieu of coming home for the holidays.

So I am optimistic that we should indeed exit the recession statistically by first quarter in 2021.

The big question now is the Nigerian riddle ie what goes up may never come down. I fear that even if the parameters such as transportation costs, forex and supply chain logistics improve, the current high price levels might never return to their pre-covid status.

Note: I am not pro-any political party.

I predicted it before (per the bolded). The above was my post back in October 2020, when it was announced that we had officially entered recession. However, this increase in gross income is domiciled in a few hands. Majority of the populace are still groaning under high inflation and unemployment.

Before I quote someone on this forum, I already know the reply I'll get. It's the reason I added "openly or secretly." You don't need to know his secret digital contents.

A man who reveals everything just to appear open and transparent is an idîot.

Mystery and curiosity generate attention and attention generates profit. Food for thought.

There are some billionaires doctors have told won't make it and these people are willing to give 50% of what they have to anyone who can heal them.

Do you know if 20 to 100 of such people are secretly on his table? That's lots of money, my dear. People who use his contents in their books do pay roalty too.

There are just too many ways to make money digitally. Even his YouTube videos can make him money if he wants to.

Even if he made his money legally from sale of books or whatever (Frankly, I don't think this holds water because I'm not aware his books are best sellers so much as to buy 3 private jets), his primary recognized office is his Pastoral function. Therefore, it is highly insensitive and callous for a religious figure to say that he wishes for Covid 19 not to end simply because of material gains. It may be alright for you but not for a Suleiman.

This his latest statement validates my belief that he is not a true man of God.

PSG lost to Lorient 2 weeks back, Brighton flogged Liverpool, Man Utd lost to Sheffield....upset is normal in league games as long as it doesn't happen often.

Barcelona didn't even lose to Cadiz....!

Lol don't mind the Ronaldo ass-lickers. Now their mouths have gone FEM. If it was Ronaldo that scored a penalty and still created gilt-edge chances for his teammates to finish against PSG yesterday, they would have been singing his praises saying he still tried to carry his team on his own and he is therefore the GOAT.

Against a struggling Porto side in their lowly rated league, Ronaldo went a-missing. Yet everywhere is silent. Baba was colliding with fellow teammates like blind Bartimeus, lago-ing anyhow, stepping over himself and huffing and puffing, everything Lori Iro If it was Messi that put up such a disgraceful show yesterday, he would have been killed. Obviously, Messi is held to a higher standard of brilliance.

CR7 is lucky that he has more decent teammates who have still given him a chance in the second leg to progress. Messi unfortunately doesn't have that luxury.

Oh, Ronaldo didn't play.

It was Penaldo who did!

jpmoriarti:
Remember we brought in players like Paulinho and Arthuro Vidal and a couple of others. It didnt bring any desired result.

If Xavi is to be appointed coach tomorrow, he will definitely seek out players like we have today.

Me, I just don't know how we have lost our competitiveness in Europe. As for this season, the need for a striker and a defender remains paramount. I was thinking that the increased intensity in training was going to start yielding results, but alas, things remain the same, if not worse.

Barcelona need young energetic powerhouses in the midfield and central defence, like Yaya toure and Keita were btw 2009 - 2011. They need like 3 players of this nature. It will give the attackers more room to be effective as they will feed off the strong defensive spine's energy. The only strong and energetic players Barca has are Ansu fati, Greizmann and Dembele and they are all forwards.

Think. Only Thomas Partey brought intensity and strength to Arsenal's midfield. Think of what two of his kind can do for Barca in the midfield and Defence.

Pique, Lenglet, and Busquets should be gone.

ddippset:
Quote from Marca.


"What would have happened if Ousmane Dembele had converted what was a very clear chance just after Messi gave Barcelona the lead?
He had just Keylor Navas to beat, but his shot was tame and easy for the Costa Rican. It's hard not to be reminded of that miss in the first leg against Liverpool in 2019."


That is Dembele who is supposed to be Messi's side kick.

And to think that I was considering Dembele to be almost as good as Mbappe cos he was more talented.

Forgive me Mbappe

obonujoker:
I told you bro.... This Barcelona team isn't the way it's supposed to be...

Of course I knew that na... You people's food has been done since last season and throughout this season . Na your time.

Don't worry Barca will pull through eventually.

Lol, My Barca had just one objective to achieve yesterday, just one!:

- Avoid humiliation by PSG

Yet they still spread their legs wide like a woman on heat.

That PSG and Mbappe will beat Barca was not in doubt, not with what I've seen over the past 6 months. It was a question of escaping the annual UCL disgrace. It wasn't supposed to be too much to ask for, but as it is, it's too much to ask for from this brittle Barca team.

When you have ballet dancers in Lenglet, Pique and Busquet as defenders what else do you expect? They do stainless defending with their arms always up like a choir conductor. Even their names together sound more fit for a rhyme party. They should all retire to the ballroom please.

What I find funny is the palace of the Baale compared to the palace of the Sarkin Shasha observe

Not only that. See the Baale wearing worn-out dunlop slippers for a whole 4 Governors' visit. That means he normally parades around bare-footed. It's obvious who's been getting the better end of the bargain from the Shasha market between the two rulers.

Incognito403:
Lol, so correct. In PS2, I used to give the guy ball just to cross. He no fit run, he no get balance, he no fit jump. Na only corner and crossing he good for. Even freekick na only short-range he fit score.

Overrated english playboy.

That same crossing and free-kick ability earned him a final-three nomination for Fifa world player of the year twice. Something no other English player has ever achieved since the awards began.

Beckham may not have many abilities but the ones he has, he was the best at them.. He is a good example of doing one thing ten thousand times being better than doing ten thousand stuff a single time.

the journalist are doing thier work to mk headlines n pep should talk less n do dt talking on the pitch...
he is a fantastic coach but I still think he needs the UCL wit city to silence doubters..

I agree with the UCL aspect sha, but that doesn't mean he hasn't earned the right to express himself. His team are currently on fire so they are actually doing the talking on the pitch, or you mean by the end of the season?

paulolee:
I do watch Napoli games especially when he is playing, am really confused if this is d same osimhen dt was banging goals in lille last year n also in napoli during preseason bcox he looks lethargic n clueless going forward this days..
he looks dull, weak, out of confidence n not impressive in each match going by the amount his deal cost..
he needs to get his form back b4 gattuso starts benching him after giving him so much time n chance..

Spot on, it's only a matter of time before Gattuso and co gets fed up if Victor doesn't improve.

Saka is something else. His decision making is top notch which is very unusual for such a young player. If Pepe had half his football sense he'd not be such a flop.

paulolee:
pep should calm down n focus more on securing the EPL n winning the UCL before all this noise making

Abeg leave am make him talk. He has enough experience and achievements to make that statement. And I'm sure he must have been asked a question by aproko EPL journalists.

paulolee:
wow....nice pics, I pray cr7 give him few tips on becoming a good n consistent goal scorer

I worry for Osihmen seriously o. His play against Juventus was non-existent. He was playing like a 900thousand pounds striker rather than 70million! Very leggy, no single attempt from him in 75minutes despite being young, and he didn't even look worried about it.

Why don't Nigerian strikers have a long shelf-life no matter their age? See Salah and Mane nau, going from strength to strength each season.
